Connecting xbox 360 wirelessly...HELP!!

i setup airport extreme the other day and easily connected all my devices including ps3.
My xbox which is downstairs doesn't pick up the router, i changed the settings to WPA/WPA2 so that the xbox picks it up as i heard
it needs to be on WPA. it still doesn't connect even if i manually enter the connection details.
at first i thought it was a distance issue but if i connect my old netgear router, the xbox picks it up fine.
can anyone offer some advice as i need to play CoD online

are the wireless computers connecting to the wireless network of the router ?? if yes, settings on the router are fine...try troubleshooting the x-box itself...
in order to access the MAC filtering list .. access the router web ui from the wired computer...and go to the wireless tab and click on "wireless mac filtering" subtab ...
to know how to access the router's setup page click here

  • Connecting XBOX 360 Wirelessly to WRT300N V1.1

    If you suffer from a slow connection when using your Xbox 360 usb wireless adapter and the wrt300n router, then fret no more! I called both xbox and linksys and below is what I came up with, which made my connection to Xbox Live work properly. This may even work with other routers as well  
    Setup for WRT300N V1.1 connected wirelessly to an XBOX 360 USB Wireless Adapter.
    Connection Type: High Speed Cable Internet.
    Select Setup
     Select Basic Setup
    Change the MTU setting to manual, edit size to be 1365.
    Save
    Select Security
    Deselect the “Filter Anonymous Internet Requests”
    Save
    Select Applications & Gaming
    Select PortRange Forwarding
    For the first port input the following:
    Start ~ EndPort: 88 to 88
    Protocol: UDP
    To IP Address: 100
    Check Enable
    Application Name: xbox1
    For the second port input the following:
    Start ~ EndPort: 3074 to 3074
    Protocol: Both
    To IP Address: 100
    Check Enable
    Application Name: xbox2
    Save
    Select Administration
    Disable Upnp
    Save
    This should allow for a smooth connection.

    Thank you for your reply.  However, there is still some confusion on my part.
    How does setting up a static IP on the PC help me connect to the Xbox 360 wirelessly?   Please explain.
    The static IP Doesn't help you connect wirelessly, it helps you set up port forwarding properly.   So that is step 1
    Step 2 would be for you connecting wirelessly, and I am pretty sure the actiontec is already security enabled, so if it is then you would look on the router itself for a silverish sticker that has an ESSID and a WEP KEY   When going through your xbox set up you will have a list of networks to choose from, make sure what you try to connect to matches the ESSID found physically on the router, and then it will ask you for a password or a network key and that is when you put in your WEP key.   That would get you on wirelessly.
    the static ip is exclusively for your port forwarding and should only really be used if once your connected to the xbox wirelessly - if it's still having trouble.   that would be when you would set up the port forwarding as I kinda described earlier.  so you put in your xbox the static ip address, and then your router will route traffic to and from it based on that ip.   mine didn't need the static ip it would connect wirelessly automatically or via dhcp, but when the network dragged or i got bad performance, that is when I went to port forwarding. 

  • TROUBLE CONNECTING XBOX 360 WIRELESSLY TO MAC AIRPORT EXTREME NETWORK

    Hi, and thanks for looking. Here are the facts in a nutshell.
    1. Xbox 360, set up for wireless connection.
    2. Wireless network, all apple equipment. Main Base station is the new Airport Extreme, hooked to a Cable Modem (Toshiba), with transmission via Comcast Internet.
    3. All wireless connections between Mac computers, and Dell PC's working flawlessly, including multiple printers.
    4.Cannot connect to XBox 360 because when attempting to wireless network not recognized. When editing Wireless connection, by manually typing in the Network Name, and the WPA password, still does not work.
    5. Incidentally, I have had this XBox connected before,until I purchased the new Airport Extreme Station (the rectangular one). What has changed? For one thing I added WPA security, and secondly, I got rid of a Netgear Router that I had been using for better distance, at the end of the Airport extreme chain. So the equipment is slightly different, and the security is definately different.
    So please, someone tell me what I must do to have the XBox connect to a Mac AEx Network, that has WPA security, and then, how do I get XBox to recognize a computer.
    Prior to this, without security, and with a netgear router as an ethernetted remote to an Airport Extreme, the XBox could get on the network, and see a Dell computer for programming. Now it can't do any of that. Sorry to be so long winded.
    I've tried everything including turning the firewall off the Dell. I even tried putting the Netgear back on the network by ethernet, which then allowed the 360 to log on wirelessly, but, still could not see the Dell, even with the firewall off. Thank you

    You should really search for your question in the Airport forum found here <http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=140>. The forum you've posted in is dedicated to Macintosh and Windows compatibility issues. While XBox 360 and Windows are both Microsoft products they are not the same thing.
    I think you'll find that many folks with the new Airport Extreme base stations are having compatibility issues with many devices when trying to use any security. The best workarounds are to either hide the SSID and restrict access using the network hardware address while using no wireless security, plug the XBox 360 directly into the station with an Ethernet cable or not use the new Airport base station altogether.
    Good luck finding your answer! bill

  • WRT610N 5ghz xbox 360 wireless N adapter won't connect (xbox 360 "Wireless Mode = Not connected")

    Hi folks,
    Looks like some other folks have reported similar. Haven't seen if an answer has been found anywhere.
    WRT610v2 running latest firmware.
    xbox 360 sees both the 2.4 network (ssid = network1) and the 5.0 network (ssid network2) when it does its scan.
    Initially, xbox showed network strength for 2.4 network at 3 out of 4 bars and 5.0 network at 1 out of 4 bars.
    Connects to 2.4 network just fine
    Won't pull an ip address and reports "Not connected" when I select the 5.0 network.
    I tweaked the wireless settings per some suggestions I found in this forum and now it shows the 5.0 network at 4 out of 4 bars signal strength. Also turned security on and off and xbox 360 reported the changes in security on the 5.0 network.
    So the xbox 360 is definitely seening the 5.0 network. and can tell if it is running WPA2 or not.
    If it can see the 5.0 network and recognizes what security and network type (infrastructure) is set, would would stop it from connecting to the WRT610n router and getting an IP address? No mac filters or firewalls are set and, again, connects just fine and gets an ip address if I select the 2.4 (network1 ssid) instead.
    Won't work if I manually set IP, subnet, gateway, dns either.
    Have tried mixed versus dedicated on the N radio...
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    thanks!
    rjb

    Hello,
    Thanks for the suggestions. Tried as you suggested but still no luck. Seems to see the 5ghz ssid just fine with plenty of strength but just will not pull an ip address or even connect if I manually assign.
    Any other thoughts?
    thanks again for taking the time to respond.

  • Airport extreme connecting with xbox 360 wireless adapter problems...help!!

    Has anyone linked their xbox 360 wireless adapter to an Airport Extreme? I need help! Neither Apple nor Microsoft knew how to link the two devices. If anyone has successfully been able to make this work, your help will be much appreciated. Thanks guys

    Yes - Mine works no problem. I have found that I have to unplug the Xbox360 wireless adaptor and plug it back in occasionally (if the green light is on everything is fine). Are you using the correct WPA Key?

  • Xbox 360 Wireless N Adapter Only Connects to 802.11G on WRT310N

    I recently purchased the Xbox 360 Wireless N Adapter. I plugged it into my Xbox (which is current on updates, including the adapter drivers), and am able to successfully connect to my WRT310Nv1 using the "Mixed" mode, but only at 802.11G, not 802.11N. If I force my router into "Wireless-N Only" mode, the Xbox is able to see the signal, but will not connect. The WRT310Nv1 has the most recent firmware (v1.0.09) installed, and I am using WPA2 Personal, AES encryption.
    I've scoured the internet and haven't been able to find a solution yet. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I have an Xbox 360 Slim with the built-in Wireless N and I have the EXACT same problem.  I also tried forcing my router into Wireless-N only mode and the Xbox will not connect.  It will only connect in "mixed" mode but at 802.11G.  This is very frustrating.
    If any one can help us out it would be much appreciated!!

  • Does the Xbox 360 wireless adapter even work with the WRT54G wireless router?!!? If so, how???

    I just bought a WRT54G wireless router (Ver 8.0; firmware updated to latest).  I have successfully connected my wireless laptop using WEP security, but I'm at wits end trying to get the Xbox 360 wireless adapter to work.  (It worked just fine with my Netgear router until that router recently died.)
    When I do the "Test Media Connection" routine (you XBox 360 users know what I'm referring to), the Xbox immediately recognizes the Network Adapter and indicates that it is connected to the Wireless Network, but it inevitably fails the next step in the process:  IP Address.  I have the set-up for the IP address to be assigned automatically by the router (which is set for  DHCP Server enabled).
    I have gone around the mountain innumerable times myself and then with well-meaning friends who say try this, try that, try this, try that.  I've had to re-establish my laptop set-up so many times I wanna scream!
    Are the Xbox 360 wireless adapter and the WRT54G even compatible?  If so, what am I missing here?  I'm not too technical and obviously in over my head, but this ought not be that hard.
    Please, please do NOT respond unless you KNOW the answer!  I don't mean to be curt, but I'm over / past "suggestions to try."
    Thank you VERY much for your time and consideration if you can help me.

    I don't think that the X-BOX adapter is not compatible to wireless rotuer .... there are few settings you can try on the router ... Access router setup page ... Please click on the tab "Application and gaming" and click on sub tab "Port range forwarding" 1) On the first line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 88, in end box type in 88, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 2) On the second line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 3074, in end box type in 3074, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 3) Now save the settings 4) Once you return to the setup page, click on the tab "Administration" and disable the UPNP and save the settings. 5) Now assign the given ip address on your xbox ip address :- 192.168.1.20 subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0 default gateway :- 192.168.1.1 Please assign the dns address on the xbox primary dns :- 4.2.2.2 secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1 6) Please try to test your xbox live. Hope it works ...

  • Xbox 360 Wireless Control not working in W7 x64

    Hey all,
    I have read some topics in here about issues on a Xbox 360 Wireless Control connection in Windows 7 x64 (I'm on a Dell Inspiron n5110, 6gb ram, intel core i5). Thing is, in difference to all those threads, in my devices list there ain't any "unrecognized
    devices" nor anything, so all the solutions listed don't work for me.
    What I have done:
    1) Installed the Accesories 1.2 for Windows 7 x64
    2) Plugged the receiver to my usb (it got detected by windows, recognized and listed properly in the devices and printers, as a wireless receiver)
    3) Turned the controller on, hitted the sync button on the receiver, then on the control... and I get a eternal green blink around the Xbox button, which never ends nor stays in one of the quadrants. 
    As I don't see nothing like "unidentified device" in the device admin, I simply can't use the "update drivers" stuff. What can I do, what am I doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi,
    I would suggest you to follow these steps and check if the issue is resolved:
    1. Verify that the accessory is an officially licensed Xbox 360 wireless accessory.
    2. Examine or replace the batteries to make sure that you have fully charged the  batteries in the Xbox 360 wireless accessory.
    3. Move the receiver away from other devices that could interfere with the wireless communication between the receiver and the Xbox 360 wireless accessory.
    Note: Devices such as wireless routers, cordless telephones, and microwave ovens can generate wireless interference.
    4. If you are using a wireless keyboard or mouse, disconnect the keyboard or mouse and reconnect the the wireless gaming receiver. Then try reconnecting your Xbox 360 wireless device to the PC.
    Also, you may try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for controller in device manager and check if this helps.
    If the problem persists, then please contact Xbox support for further assistance. Here’s the link:

  • Xbox 360 wireless adapter for windows 8.1.

    would the xbox 360 wireless receiver adapter work with windows 8.1. because i'm having a problem that my controller keeps getting disconnected for no reason.  

    Hi,
    Regarding your problems about not connecting the controller to the adapter, I suggest you replace the batteries or recharge the battery pack.
    Meanwhile, I would like to verify if the controller is recognized in Device Manager. How about changing different USB ports?
    Please reinstall the latest driver of the receiver adapter and the controller from Microsoft.
    If the issue persists, I would recommend you to contact Xbox support for further assistance.

  • Airport and using a xbox 360 wireless

    I want to convert to the apple world and a airport network. I am 99% there.
    I have been readin many post's about xbox 360 not working on airport networks, i was woundering can you use a AirPort Express unit and hard wire in to the 360. so it would work like a wireless bridge.
    Has any one tired this or hard wired a non wireless computer like this?

    John Knowles wrote:
    Hey I think, I just responded to this same topic in the Airport Express forum (?)
    Anyway, I was going to post this as a sticky on the topic but this seems as good a place to put my info. I have an XBox 360 hardwired into my Airport network, works great. Here's my setup:
    1. Main access point: Time Capsule 500GB (upstairs) plugged into Time Warner cable modem. Set to Wireless N, b/g compatible.
    2. Bridge: Airport Extreme N base station (downstairs), extending my wireless network.
    3. XBox 360 plugged into the downstairs base station via Ethernet cable.
    4. TivoHD also plugged into the base station. Not important to this discussion, just to show that it works (and that it's nice to be able to hardwire all your AV devices).
    Set your primary base station to be extendable, then configure your second base station as a bridge by allowing it to extend your primary network. Easy. Plug in the 360 and it will configure automatically, no need to go through all the PAINFUL configs when using wireless.
    Just for the record, I also tried:
    1. XBox 360 wireless adapter and my Time Capsule: would only work when I set my Airport network to "B only" mode, which is pretty useless. Stopped working altogether after I swapped wireless adapters and tried to switch back. I think it's a piece of junk, and the XBox's wireless setup could use an overhaul.
    2. Linksys G Game Adapter: worked briefly with Time Capsule, then stopped working. Created it's own ad-hoc network despite being told not to. Can only setup using web utility on a Mac. Also a piece of junk.
    **Final advice: if you have Time Capsule, do yourself a favor and buy an Express or another base station and hardwire your Xbox 360. You'll save yourself a lot of headache. An Express costs close to what an XBox wireless adapter costs anyway, so it makes more sense to go this route.**
    Haha, you're a **** genius. I was going to buy a new n-compatible Airport Express anyway (been borrowing my mom's old Express thus far) – aaand I just got an Xbox 360. And also, by doing it your way, I will only have the power cord and the ethernet cable from the modem to my Time Capsule‚ all other devices (iPhone, MacBook Pro, PS3) will connect wirelessly, and the Express will do the same, and since its current position is like 1 meter away from the Xbox 360, this was truly one of my all-time highlights of a forum-solved problem...
    Thanks!

  • Configuring an XBOX 360 Wireless adapter to Airport

    How do you configure an XBOX 360 Wireless adapter to your Airport. I've Been trying to connect to xbox live but have been having trouble doing this.

    You have connect 360, right?

    If so, I think you have to change the default security from WPA to WEP (or vice-versa) in order to make it work.

    Make sure that your wireless security is not set to WPA2. The XBOX 360 wireless adapter does not support it. You need to use WPA or WEP.

  • Wrt54g and xbox 360 wireless gaming adapter

    First post here and I have a problem. The WRT54G has wirlelss disabled. It is connected to a WAP11B wireless access point which is connected in 802.11b mode to a laptop, Wii, xbox 360, iPhone. The router is connected to a dsl modem. Three wired ethernet computers are connected. And I am running WEP with 128, and I changed the SSID to something other than linksys.
    I'd like to change to use the WRT54G as a wireless enabled connection. Then remove the WAP11B, and put a pcmcia 802.11g card in the laptop and connect the xbox360 with a microsoft xbox 360 wireless gaming adapter which should connect at 802.11g.
    The problem is the xbox 360 displays a message that there are duplicate networks using my SSID. Is there someway to upgrade to 802.11g without getting that error message on the xbox 360? Let me know if there are any questions I can answer in order to more clearly explain the problem.

  • WRT54G version 5 and Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

    Hello,
    I just upgraded to the latest firmware since my Xbox 360 Wireless adapter can't connect to my router. I still have the same problem and can't figure it out. I read some of the other posts, and opened up the correct ports in my router 88 & 3074. I even disabled wireless security and I still can't connect.
    My wireless adapter is a solid red. I can connect just fine with a wired network cable. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to try?
    It's a brand new Xbox too and there shouldn't be any problems with it. 

    Make sure the wireless settings are configured correctly. Also check with the adapter.
