Problem connecting xbox360 to wrt54g

i am trying to connect my 360 to my wireless network and have had limited success. my router is the wrt54g v4 and i am useing the xbox wireless network adapter. i have a desktop that is wired to the router and a laptop that connects wirelessly just fine. the problem on the xbox has to do with the security. when i run "test xbox live" on the console it never gets pased the second test. i can see my network on the network list and even connect after entering the passphrase but when i run the test again in fails on the second test. on a hunch i disabled the security for the router and the 360 connected fine but i need the security. on the xbox website someone suggested that i change the security to wep and i did and connected fine but then my laptop couldn't connect. any help is appreciated and i thank you in advance.

Disable all firewall on the computer ....
Try this link to configure the X-BOX with the router ....

DNS Error when trying to connect xbox360 to WRT54G wireless network, Please help!!

I recently purchased a new router (WRT54G Ver.6) and the initial setup went well. however, when I try to connect my xbox 360 to this network, the DNS does not resolve and it fails every time. what should I do?

Hi…..
Well in this case first make sure whether the computers which are connected [wired or wireless] to the router are able to get online.
If the computers are not able to get online through the router then you will have to configure the router. And if the computers are able to get online then in order to resolve the DNS Error in order to get the X-Box360 working you can assign Static DNS Address to the X-Box
The Static DNS Address you can use can be 206.13.29.12 and 206.13.30.12

Problem with AEBS-N connecting to Linksys WRT54G over WDS

I have been trying -- without success -- to connect a new Airport Extreme Base Station-N to an existing Linksys WRT54G. The two devices can communicate over WDS without any encryption but they will not connect via WDS using WPA or WPA2.
The two MacBooks and the WinXP desktop work fine with the WRT54G over WEP, WPA, or WPA2. All three computers can communicate with the AEBS. The problem is getting the WRT54G and AEBS to communicate over WDS with encryption other than WEP.
Phone calls to tech support at Apple and Linksys were not productive. The Apple rep walked through all the steps to have AEBS-N join a network via WDS and he found no errors in my setup. He then connected me to the next level support for additional help. The second Apple wireless support tech reviewed the situation and said he had no additional information. Both Apple and Linksys support reps suggested I to "call the other company if their device isn't working" or "post feedback so the developers will be aware." Apple tech support had no details (or none they are willing to share) about how WDS works under WPA/WPA2 in their product; I asked for specific details thinking that a third-party Linksys firmware might offer additional modifications to make the two devices compatible. The Linksys rep was similarly unhelpful in giving WDS details.
I am fine with using a third-party firmware for the WRT54G if someone has the settings to make these two devices work together.
This is frustrating because both Apple and Linksys tech support said their products will run WDS under WPA or WPA2 but only with their own products. I suspect each firm has created proprietary WDS implementations because WDS is only a mechanism and not a technical standard (www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/802architecturegroup/802-11/4-address-format.doc).
I would appreciate any information that might allow upgrading from WEP to WPA/WPA2.
Details:
AEBS: model A1143, firmware 7.3.2
AirPort Utility v5.3.2
WRT54G: version 4 (first four of S/N: CDFA), Linksys firmware 4.21.1
Desktop: Dell Dimension 4800, WinXP-SP3, Linksys WUSB54G (USB wireless access)
Macbook #1: new aluminum Macbook (late 2008), OSX 10.5.5
Macbook #2: white Macbook (mid-2008), OSX 10.5.5
(I am happy to post additional tech details and/or log files upon request).

Done. I powered off the Airport Extreme Base Station, restarted it and AirPort Utility, and connected to the MacBook via ethernet cable. I then used AirPort Utility to turn off the Airport wireless connectivity in the Extreme Base Station and configured it in Bridge Mode. The Base Station restarted and showed a green light. However, when I went to reactivate Airport as "join WDS network," the light continued to glow green but, there were obvious network problems:
- ping command to the Airport Extreme Base Station resulted in 100% packet loss, even if the AEBS was connected to MacBook by ethernet cable
- turning off MacBook wireless connectivity resulted in the MacBook being able to see the AEBS, but the AEBS cannot connect to the Linksys router

WRT54G Problem Connecting Wirelessly to Windows 7 Computer

I can connect to the WRT54G router with an Ethernet cable on a computer with Windows 7. I have done all the basic things or at least most of them. I can ping the router successfully wirelessly. My router is old with firmware 1.02.5. I use Linkysy EasyLink Advisor. I suspect EasyLink won't work for Windows 7. I have tried to connect manually but when I put the encryption key in it says it is not valid. I am using 128 bit WEP. Help

I'd suggest you change your encryption to WPA or WPA2 because WEP is insecure, can be easily cracked. Here's the procedure.

Losing Connection with both WRT54G & WRT160N

Problem In Short: My connection is going in and out randomly. One desktop, two laptops connected wirelessly. Same problem on Xbox360. I've been having problems for the last 2 months or so. My connection will randomly hang or go out completely and then come back. The timing will differ each time - sometimes every few minutes, others every hour or so. It started happening with my WRT54G. First, I thought it might have been my modem. Comcast replaced it with a brand new one - still had the same problem. Figured it would have to been the router, and considering it was already pretty old, I went out and bought the WRT160N. Installed everything accordingly, and STILL had the same problem. I lost count of how many times I've called Linksys. Tried power-cycling, tried changing router settings such as radioband, channel, Beacon Interval, MTU, etc.. and still nothing. I have one Dell Desktop connected to the Router, and then two laptops connected to the network wireless. I also have my Xbox360 connected to the network as well. I have the same problem during online games, everything will start out fine but a few minutes in it will either start lagging or lose the connection completely.
ETA: Could it be a problem with the new version of Utorrent (1.7.7)? Any help would be appreciated. Message Edited by SM26 on 05-09-2008 11:06 AM

I also have a connection problem with WRT54G v7 running the latest firmware.
Here's what happens: Seems like a rather serious bug in the firmware causes a watchdog bite.

Don't know if this is what happens to your box but if it does there's propably nothing you can do about it, besides trying a different firmware.

Macbook sometimes has problems connecting

The brief summary is that my Macbook (white, core duo) has problems connecting to my G network when it has been on sleep mode. A restart usually fixes the issue until the computer goes to sleep again.
The G network is comprised of a Linksys WRT54GS that connects using WDS to the AirPort Express (G model). This network is used for any devices that use B/G and to share a printer. I use MAC address filtering (the lists are updated on both the AirPort Express and the Linksys routers), and security is WEP 128 (Because I could never get WPA or WPA2 to work with WDS...)
Here is what I've done to try to remedy the situation:
* Tried to remove the wireless security, and just let the MAC filtering work. This had no effect.
* Tried to remove the MAC filtering, and just let the wireless security work. This also had no effect.
* Tried to unplug the AirPort Express. _This worked, and allows the Macbook to connect everytime._
This leaves me somewhat puzzled; why would restarting the macbook allow it to connect? (this would imply the problem is with the airport express, not the macbook?), Is it more likely that it's the AirPort Express device itself or a problem with the WDS linking? (Airport Utility shows everything is fine). I use manually-assigned IPs, but could it be a problem with IP lease times?
While most computers use the Airport extreme N network (which is wired to the linksys router), all iPod touchs (5 of them), iPhones, and two PCs use the same G network and have never exhibited the same problem. I have reformatted the white macbook, deleted any airport preference files, etc., to no avail.
Any help or insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Dave.

Dave,
Check some settings on your Macbook as follows:
Open System Preferences and click on Network so that your connections are displayed on the left of the pane.
Click the small gear shaped icon at the bottom of the connection list area
Select Set Service Order and make sure your Airport connection is at the top of the list so that it will be first in line for a connection. (If ethernet is set first now, your computer is spending time trying to find an ethernet connection before it looks for an Airport connection).
Now click on your Airport connection on the left to highlight it and click Advanced at the lower right of the pane.
Make sure that your network is at the top of the list of wireless networks so your computer won't spend time looking for other wireless networks first.
Delete any networks that you no longer need.
Make sure there is a check mark next to "Remember any networks this computer has joined"
Leave the next two boxes unchecked.
Any help?

Can't connect iBook to WRT54G

I bought a used Macintosh iBook G3 800MHz with dual USB ports and an AirPort (not AirPort Extreme) wireless card that supports 802.11b protocol. It is running OS X 10.4.11 with all updates applied. System Profiler says that the AirPort card's firmware is v9.52 and that the AirPort software is v3.4.9.
I cannot make a wireless connection from the iBook to my Linksys WRT54G v5 wireless router. The router has the latest v1.02.5 firmware applied. I'm trying to use WPA2 Personal set on the router and WPA Personal set on the iBook. WPA2 is supposed to be backward compatible with WPA clients. The error messages I see tell me that:
There is a problem connecting (no kidding)
The router doesn't support the encryption method
The password I'm using is incorrect
I've triple-checked the password, and I know it's right. My daughters' PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.4.11 and MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5.5 connect using 802.11g protocol to same router using WPA or WPA2 encryption without any problems, and I've read several accounts on the Internet of other people who have the same hardware and software as I do who connect, too.
I've disabled the encryption on the router, and I still can't get the iBook to connect to it. It sees the SSID broadcast but reports an error. I was able to get an error code from the Console, and from searching the Internet I see that it's a timeout, still not terribly helpful. I've tried different combinations of router settings based on the router documentation, trying to make the wireless network more 802.11b compatible, but that hasn't helped, either. I tried setting to router to accept only 802.11b, but still no luck.
I don't know if the AirPort card is bad, but I have no way to test it, nor do I have a known good spare to swap in for it.
This has been an exercise in frustration to the Nth degree. I will be eternally grateful to anyone who can help me resolve this issue.

I found that I can attempt to connect to the router using this command from the Terminal's command line:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport -A
After first disabling protection on the router and then entering that command line I get prompted for the name of the network, which I enter. After a little while the message I get is always:
Error (88001006) associating to NetName.ComputerName.
I believe that error 88001006 is a timeout, which sort of makes sense, but it doesn't tell me why the connection attempt is timing out.
I looked at the AirPort configuration and saw that it had an IP address beginning with 44. I know that the router is set up to use DHCP to assign a maximum of ten IP addresses in the range of 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.109, so I manually set the AirPort IP address for the iBook to 192.168.1.104, the same IP address it gets when I use a wired connection to the router. Still no connection.

Problems setting up a WRT54G router with Vista

My husband upgraded to Windows Vista Home Basic over the weekend (we don't have the newest version! omg!angst!woe!). Today, I got a call that our DSL was turned on, I set up the modem, got the internet working, and attempted to set up the wireless router.
I have used the setup cd, the EasyLink program, and the directions to manually set up the router. I can get the router linked up properly, I can even log into the DSL modem through the router. The problem is that I can't get any of these setup programs to recognize the router. Even putting in http://192.168.1.1 brings up a "page cannot be loaded" error in both Firefox 2.0 and IE (however, when I remove the router, I can see the DSL modem fine with it). Is there some other way to get the wireless router set up, or do I need to wait for one of the two computers with XP to arrive (yay for moving with the military) to set up the router?

Hi,
I too am having problems connecting the WRT54GS to my vista enabled pc. I have installed the software but since connecting everything my internet access is now diabolically slow. This is on the main wired machine, not wirelessly. The router is obvioulsy doing something inbetween (possibly the firewall) but this has made the speeds almost unbearable, negating the object of the new pc !!
Is there some settings I should eb checking ?
Many Thanks

I'm trying to set up my Ipod, but when I go to sign in with an apple ID it says 'Could not sign in: there was a problem connecting to the server'.

I just bought a 3rd generation ipod touch. It was professionally refurbished. I'm trying to set it up, and everything seems to be working fine, until we get to the wifi. I live on campus and our wifi is username and password protected. I signed in and everything seemed to work fine, and in the top left hand corner I have all the bars for wifi. However, when I go to sign in with an apple ID it says 'Could no sign in: there was a problem connecting to the server'. I've tried turning it on and off again, tried signing on to our wifi again, but it all isn't working. What can I do?

I also encountered the same problem. Try using a different email address or try signing in later.

Problems connecting multiple macs to an Airport Extreme network.

I think this problem is similar to a previous post, but is individual in some ways.
I have 2 Airport Extreme basestations covering a large flat connected by Ethernet extending a single network. I did try to extend the network wirelessly, but this was plagued with problems where the network would work for 10 mins, then drop out as I think the basestations are slightly too far apart.
Connected to the network are a number of machines:
Wirelessly we have 3x iPhones, 1x G4 Cube, 1x iMac (current model), 2x MacBook Pro (previous model) & 1x PC.
Wired via a hub is an Apple TV, PS3, Nintendo Wii, Denon Home Cinema Amp, PS2
For aprox 6 months I have had major problems connecting all the wireless machines at the same time. I have played around with the security as per previous posts with varying degrees of success.
I seem to have the most problems with the iMac. The iMac will not join the network when there is any form of wireless security. Every time I try to set up a password it hangs when trying to join and I finally get the "There was a error joining xxxx network".
After more playing around I managed to get all the machines working by having no security on the network and locking the network down by MAC addresses.
Since last Thursday I now have a new problem. The iMac joins and stays on the network perfectly, but the second my second MacBook Pro is switched on and joins the network, the internet connection on the iMac drops out. In addition, as we use the iMac as a media server, all other machines connected to the iMac for either file sharing or iTunes sharing then get the error "the remote machine is failing to respond. Please check firewall settings if there are any". What is strange is that the iMac remains on the network, full signal, independent IP address and the second the MacBook Pro is switched off, works perfectly again.
I have tried wiping both the iMac & the MacBook Pro and re-installing their operating systems, but this only solves the problem for aprox 24 hours then all of a sudden the issue re-appears.
Can anyone out there help?

TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work). "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.

Problem connecting MacBook to a Sharp video projector

One of the great things I like about Macs is the easy way they (usually) connect to a video projector. Unlike a lot of my friends who run PCs with Windows I never had any problems whatsoever connecting my MacBook to a projector at the university and start my presentations.
Until today that is.
I tried to connect my MacBook with Apple's mini-DVI to VGA adapter to a Sharp ("Notevision") video projector and although the MacBook had the projector (even with its correct name "PG-M20X" and available resolution settings) listed under "Displays" immediately, I couldn't get the projector to show any more than "no signal" whatever input source I chose...
What did I do wrong? Or is it the projector that is somehow "incompatible"?! Please help!

MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9) Core Duo 2GHz, July 2006

Maybe this could help as well:
After we tried several things with the MacBook (reboot, "detect displays" etc.), we successfully connected a Powerbook (15", FireWire 800, late 2003) to the projector, using Apple's DVI-VGA Adapter.
So that did work out fine, but the MacBook didn't work on the projector. The cable that came with the projector was a VGA--DVI-A cable: there were only a few pins on the DVI-end of it going into the DVI-Connector on the projector. Could it have something to do with that? But why didn't the Powerbook have any problems connecting to the projector then?

You really have to mess with the resoluton, espescially the refresh rate, as it varies from projector to projector, monitor to monitor. Even within the same brand! Because so many manufacturers are trying so many different things to become the next cool kid on the block, and the way the formats are being configured that's now part of the game.
That's why so many professionally produced corporate shows hire a dedicated projectionist for the video presentations. Too many bugs in the honey.
Refresh & sesolution are the first things to look at.
