Linksys E3000 Wireless Router, Xbox 360, 5GHz and 802.11n

Please could someone help - I'm tearing my hair out!!
When I set up a 5GHz 802.11n or mixed a/n SSID, my XBox can't connect to it, even with security disabled. It just says can't connect to wireless network. It can connect to a 2.4GHz SSID as 802.11g (not n). I've already reported the issue to Microsoft and also tried all the obvious things (I work with computer networks) and nothing works. It can see the network after a scan and, if I disable security, it will even warn me that security is disabled, but it just can't connect. Tried everything I can think of, including different channel widths, channels, USB ports and static IP configuration, to no avail.
Here are the details:
Router firmware version: 1.0.04
XBox version: Elite
NIC: Microsoft Wireless N Network Adapter (black, two antennae)
I've reported the issue to Micrsoft Support and they're not sure what the problem is either.

Maybe it's a compatibility issue. You and this guy have the same issue. But I'm not sure if you guys have the same adapter.

E3000 and Xbox 360 5Ghz and Wireless N issue

Hello everyone,
Bought the E3000 a couple of weeks ago, and I'm pretty pleased thus far. I do have one issue with it though, my Xbox 360 has a wireless N adapter and should support wireless N and 5Ghz dual band, but it does not see this network. It only spots the 2,4ghz one. Have the latest firmware installed, but it didn't seem to fix the problem. I just read that this router could have some issues with this.
Once it connects to the 2,4 Ghz network though, it says it's connected by using wireless G.
Anyone got a solution for this?
Thanks!

The problem is your router, cisco needs to update the fimware to be compatible. There is nothing you can do to get it to work, except to switch the router out with a different name brand and it will work. This is a problem with their biggest flag ship router Cisco E4200 as well. You will not be able to connect to 5Ghz N nor 2.4Ghz N, only can connect to 2.4Ghz G or 5 Ghz A with or without security This has been going on for awhile with cisco.

Trying to setup my Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router but having trouble.

Right, i will keep this nice and simple. I have had broadband internet for the past 10 days and yesterday i got myself a Linksys WRT54G Wireless router so both myself and my partner can connect our Macbook Pros up to the wireless internet.
But the problem is we cannot seem to connect onto the wireless network. It shows up when searching for internet connecting even when its is open without a password or with a password it does not want to connect?!?!
I can plug my laptop directly (as i am doing now) into the broadband modem and it works so i have no idea what is wrong? This afternoon we tried using a Windows Laptop and had the same problem. The wireless network shows up but when you enter the password that was entered on the 192.168.1.1 website it does not reconise it?!?!
If you can reply speaking English and not too much computer language that would be fantastic.
Many thanks

Hi candn14 and welcome to the forums!
Since internet connection is working fine on the laptop computer when plugged directly into the modem, you just need to configure your router settings.
Are you using a DSL or Cable connection? Please see the links below on how to configure your router with your internet provider (ISP).
Setting-Up a Router with Cable Internet Service
Setting-Up a Router with DSL Internet Service
Once you are finished doing so and your laptop is able to connect to the internet when connected to the modem > router > laptop, then you are now ready to configure the wireless settings of the router for you to be able to connect wirelessly.
Here are the steps:
Setting-Up the Wireless Settings on a Router
And please secure your network w/ a password.
Setting-Up Wireless Security on a Linksys Router
Please feel free to ask any questions again if you encounter any problems. Hope this helps.

I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly. the wireless light has a fast green blinking light. how can I fix the router?

I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I am unable to connect to the internet wirelessly. The wireless light is blinking green very quickly and I connect and disconnect from the network constantly. How do I get the router to work properly

Hello James,
The flashing WLAN light means activity (data getting transferred). Try disconnecting all your devices and check whether the light is still flashing or disconnect the router from internet and do the check.
Do you have your SSID as linksys or the default one? If your neighbor has the same SSID, then traffic could result from your neighbor's one. Try changing your SSID and password. Make your security WPA/WPA2.
Hope this helps,
Thanks

Hi been trying to connect my xbox 360 online and i am having major problems my router is a WRT54GS v.6 i have the newest firmware also i also use a linksys wireless adapter for my pc i am connecting my 360 to my pc and doing internet connection sharing i can get a ip address this way but not a dns if i have ics off i do not get a ip address i have tried everything opening ports on my router for the 360 and still nothen i am about to break my router and get a differnt one. me need helps.

Yes, you have the ports connected backwards.
The WAN port is labelled with the "circle of dots" icon, and must be connected to your DSL modem.
The LAN port is labelled with the "double-headed arrow" icon, and that is where you connect ethernet cabled devices on your LAN.
See Apple's article AirPort Base Station: About the WAN and LAN Ports
What is surprising is that you haven't previously run into all sorts of problems with your existing setup. Once you cable things properly, you will likely have to power down your DSL modem and Base Station for a while (sometimes just an instant, sometimes overnight). After waiting, plug the modem into power and wait a minute. Then plug the base station into power and wait for it to restart.

Hi,
I just bought a linksys WRT54G Wireless Router. My laptop was able to detect it wirelessly untill I changing the "Router Name" in the setup page(http://192.168.1.1)
While saving the settings, the wireless network suddently disconnected. From that point onwards, I was not able to detect the wireless network with any computer at all.
I tried unplugging it, resetting it, and even restory factory settings by holding the reset button for aprox 30 secs.
What is wrong?
Thanks in Advanced

Recheck the wireless setting (SSID, encryption, DHCP, etc) on router management page again. Also make sure your computer's wireless adapter setting matches the one you set on router.

I installed the WRT54G Wireless router on my desktop and have been using the internet on that pc and my laptop (wirelessly) for a few months. Last week I uninstalled Norton Internet Security and installed ESET Smart Security. Now my desktop cannot get to the internet and the advisor says it does not detect a router. But my laptop says it's connected to my network and I am able to use the intenet on it. The router itself has all of the correct connecions and the appropiate lights are lit. Could the ESET Smart Security Software have messed up my router firmware. Please advise.

there seems to be consistant issues with Linksys routers according to all the posts ive been reading for the past month while i try to fix my on and off again internet connection. its becomming very annoying. i have asked my cable company to replace my modem, which they did and that didn't even help. last year i bought a new linksys router thinking it would solve my problem back then. it did for a while, then my lap top wouldn't connect any, so i sent it into have it checked and it came back with no problems. soooooooooo apparently, while i am connected to my neighbors open connection from his BELKIN ROUTER and even though the signal is very weak............amazingly enough!! i am still online while typing this.......funny eh?? WELL........it seems to me......that i guess i wont be buying linksys anything anymore. Especially after spending hours on the help line (INDIA) trying to reset channels and reset the router box itself. i give up.......i have 2 pieces of crap routers for sale cheap......any takers? dont waste your time

Linksys WRT54GSV4 Wireless Router

Hi
I have a Linksys WRT54GSV4 Wireless Router with frimware version 1.06.1.
I have a internet connection that can performe 100Mbit/s. But when i check my connection with "TP Test" I only get ~40Mbit/s. I do the test without the router and I get 80Mbit/s+.
Why is that? How do I get the router to pass through the traffic at high speed?
Thanks....

I guess you should get the latest firmware 1.00.9

Linksys WRT110 Wireless Router

I need to setup my Linksys WRT110 wireless router for wireless use as well as a router between my cable modem and my desktop PC. So far, I cannot find any documentation on how this is done or if it is possible at all. When I called Linksys support they told me it can be done and provided me with a link to the instructions, however, they did not work. Does anyone know if this is possible? I need to setup in order to work from home and I cannot use a wireless connection to my cable modem but I need a router between my desktop PC and my cable modem. Oh, by the way, I have a new HP desktop which is running Windows 7. I would appreciate any help someone can lend me. Thank you. SHH

From what i read on your post looks like your trying to use your wrt110 as a wireless access point and you want to still use your router near your modem.
To do this what you have to do is disable your wrt110 as a dhcp server since your other router near your is acting as the dhcp server.
So what you do is hook a cable to your wrt110 in port 1. type in 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of your internet explorer.For now this 192.168.1.1 number will get you into the wrt110 until you change it to 192.168.1.5 under setup you will see 2 areas. Under the ip address type in 192.168.1.5 so this make your wrt110 have this ip address.
Below that you will see DHCP server setting disable this. So your wrt110 will not act as the dhcp server it will act as a wireless access point.
Now if you type 192.168.1.1 in your web brower that will open the configuration screen of the router next to your modem. Which that dchp server setting will be enabled.
So basically from your modem your first router will route the signal from the modem thru the router to the computers hooked to it. then say you run a cable from that router to the wrt110.So basically your just uplinking to the wrt110. only thing is your wrt110 will have to act as a access point instead of a router.
Your main router configuration screen to get into it. you would type 192.168.1.1 in your brower after you setup your wrt110 an disable the dhcp server and set the ip to 192.168.1.5 when you type this number the 105 number in your browser it will go into the web config screen of the wrt110
So to access the web config screens of both routers they will have different numbers.
1st router by your modem will be 192.168.1.1
2nd wirless one will be 192.168.1.5 which you changed when you when in and disable it as a dhcp server since your 1st router by your modem acts as the dhcp server.
Hopefully this will help. I know it does get a little confusing been there and done that more then once. If not call linksys on the phone tell them what products you have and how you want it to work they will walk you thru it.
My setup in my home from my modem it connects to a 4 port router, then from there to a 24 port switch then uplinks with a Power over Ethernet adapter which sends power thru this little adapter over the brown pair in the cable so you dont need a electrical outlet where you put your wireless access point/router. Then from my switch it uplinks with that POE to a Wrt110 upstairs in my home. I know what a pain this can be i've call them more then once to get mine setup and working.
GOOD LUCK HOPE THIS HELPS

How can I turn off my Linksys 1200 wireless router?

Hi,
I just got a Linksys 1200 wireless router and wanted to know how (and the best way) I can turn it off (besides unplugging it) when I am out of town?
Thanks

hi there.
there is no on/off switch in the router. these devices are meant to run 24/7 so there's no off on it.

My Linksys E1200 wireless router stopped working

Hi, my Linksys E1200 wireless router stopped working. When my checked my network it said "Limited Connection." However, when I connect my ethernet cable directly to the modem my internet works fine.
Can someone help me with this?

@JeffNewYork
Are you getting that error hardwired to the router? Or wireless? Since the internet is working directly to your modem, you may need to reset and reconfigure the router depending on the settings from your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Setting up a Linksys router with Cable Internet service
Setting up a Linksys router with DSL Internet service
Setting up a router with a Static IP account
Good luck!

The remote app requires both to be on the same network and home sharing to be enabled, you will need the physical remote to set this up. You can purchase a replacement through Apple.

There are a number of extremly dubious sites which claim to offer Drivers for common Hardware, but actually are phishing for identies and credit card numbers and candidates to join a bot-net.
Make absolutely certain you load drivers ONLY from the manufacturer's web site.

Is it possible to get an IPv6 and 802.11n capable router?

I would like to upgrade my current wireless router to an one that supports IPv6 and 802.11n. I want to do 6in4 tunnels for IPv6 to Hurricane Electric for my tunnel service and I have computers that have 802.11n. Currently I have the Actiontec (Verizon) MI424-WR wireless router with 10/100 ports. Can I get this through Verizon? I know I can go buy a Wireless router that can provide this on the outside, but want to ensure that this doesn't mess up my tv services. I have the three services currently on FIOS. TV, Internet and phone. So the router controls the TV settop boxes also.

Well Verzion them selve has no plans to switch customers over to ipv6 capable routers right away as its hard to get on Wireless N router from them as well unless you are on a buisness plan.Now If you Turn off your wireless from the Verizon side and hook up a router switch to a open port on the verizon router\modem there should be no problem as thats how i do mine.Also there are only certain routers and that support Wireless N and IPv6 access and I will post some info here as well about that.
