WRT54G - How do i make my router find my xbox 360 wireless adapter?

Can someone please help me? My wireless adapter is not getting anything. My ipod gets wifi from the router but no my xbox.

All you need to do is forward ports on the router for XBOX-360 you got from the XBOX provider for the assigned static ip address & do the complete network power cycle & you will be able to play the games wirelessly!!!

  • 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 Adapter and WRT54G

    I can only squeek out one (red) bar of signal on my xbox 360 when it is only two rooms away (with open doors and few walls) ...
    Are there settings on the 54G that will boost the wireless signal?
    Not using any encryption ...
    Any suggestions?

    There is no setting to "boost" the wireless output.  However, changeing some settings may get you a better connection.
    Make sure you are using a unique SSID.  Do not use "linksys".   Also, be sure that "SSID Broadcast" is set to "enabled".   Broadcasting a unique SSID will help your Xbox find your router and lock on to its signal.
    The router usually works better if it is raised several feet off the floor.   Try to position the router and the Xbox closer together, with as few obstructions as possible between them.  The router antena should be vertical.  Do not place the router behind monitors, or other computer equipment  -- get it out in the open.
    Try setting the router to a different channel.  Channels 1, 6, or 11 usually work best.  Check out your neighbors and see what channel they are using.  The channels overlap, so try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors.  For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, use any channel 1 through 4.
    Eliminate any interference from other 2.4 GHz devices, such as wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, wireless keyboards and mice, Bluetooth (including Bluetooth game controlers), and microwave ovens.  Even some 5+ Ghz phones use the 2.4 GHz band.  Unplug these devices and see if that improves your connection.
    Another thing that should help would be to use a high gain antena on your WRT54G, for example, the Linksys HGA7T.
    Ultimately, for the best gaming experience, a wired connection usually works best.

  • Xbox 360 wireless adapter wont connect to Airport Express/cant find ip

    i have a time warner modem with the ethernet cable plugged into my airport express to create a wireless network in my house. my macbook and dell connect with no prob.
    the xb recognizes the airport express, shows it as connected with green bars, but when i try to log into xbox online, it says that there is no connection.
    i can plug in the ethernet cable from the xb to the airport ex and there is no problem. only when trying to use the wireless adapter.
    how can i stop this? also, how can i find my IP address?
    since the xb wouldnt connect and find my ip automatically, i tried to do it manually. when i go to terminal on my macbook and enter "ipconfig e0", i dont see an IP address.
    i have seen a lot of info on this but it mainly deals with airport extreme or those who are trying to connect to airport express with an ethernet cable.
    so if you can help me troubleshoot the wireless connection between my xb and my airport ex OR explain how i can find my IP address, i would be very grateful.
    FYI---the airport express was purchased in april, so i believe it is the new "n" model.
    thanks for all your help.

    Gary Sanborn, please share your tricks. I'm curious to know how you got it to work. I used to have the old Express and that worked just fine. The new version (n) doesn't seem to connect to xbox live. As previously stated, mine also shows "connected" and a strong green bar signal on the xbox but the text can't get passed "connected to live"... if I'm not mistaken.
    I heard about holding down the option button white selected the type of wireless connection and connecting to wireless b only. I would want to avoid this option. I don't want my express to run that slow. Please advice. Thanks in advance.
    By the way, I haven't tried it since recently upgrading to OS X 10.5.3. I wasn't sure if that affected airport's connectivity with xbox 360.

  • [SOLVED] Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, how to make it work?

    How can I get this to work under Arch? the controller gets detected at /dev/input/js0 and I if cat the file I get a bunch of symbols (which I read that means it works).
    However, I can make it work with anything, am I missing something?
    It even gets detected as: Bus 004 Device 003: ID 045e:0719 Microsoft Corp. Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter
    The light on the controller keeps blinking but thats normal also.
    If anyone can help out with this I would really appreciate it.
    thanks for the help

    Already read that but didn't help. However I found the problem. Controller wouldn't sync with the wireless receiver. I ended up using xboxdrv userspace driver and after sync it worked like a charm, even the xbox light stops blinking and stays fixed on the player 1
    thanks for the help

  • 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.

  • How can I make disappear the finder tool bar in the second monitor?

    How can I make disappear the finder tool bar in the second monitor?
    (I have to use ProVideoPlayer, a professional application for presenting videos and I really need a clean second monitor!)

    After changing that setting and logging out and back in as it indicated, do you still have two menu bars?
    If you are already set up that way and want to move the menu bar to the other monitor, drag it there in the Arrangement tab of the Displays system pref.

    Thanks

    Unplug the USB cable from the printer.  Plug your printer into your wireless router with an Ethernet cable.
    Next, on each computer, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.  Install it and select "Network" installation when it asks.

  • WRT54G & XBOX 360 Wireless Networking Adapter-Router doesn't see my SSID

    I purchased a XBOX 360 networking adapter yesterday.  I hooked it up and serched for networks and it doesn't see my SSID through the linksys router.  Before I purchased the 360 adapter, I could hard hook it to the router and it worked fine.  I called 360 and they suggested that I open my MAC on the Linksys Router so that it would recognize it, but I do not know how to do that.  I know how to get into 192.168.1.1, but don't want to do anything crazy.  Please advise. I'm not a novice, but not an advanced router owner.  Thanks,
    WRT54G v.8

    SSID Broadcast should be Enabled on your router...
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab-
    Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...SSID Broadcast should be Enabled...Check what is your SSID(change the SSID if it is Linksys)...Click Save Settings if you have changed anything...
    Click on the subtab Wireless Security, if the Security Mode is WPA/WPA2 change it to WEP, if it is WEP take not of Key1(this is your wireless security)...
    X-Box Setting : 
    1. Connect the appropriate wireless network adapter to the console. On the Xbox, a Wi-Fi adapter that connects to the Ethernet port (sometimes also called a wireless network bridge) must be used. Alternatively, the Xbox 360 is also designed to work with certain Wi-Fi game adapters that connect to a USB port.
    2. Turn on the console and navigate to the wireless settings screen. On the Xbox, the menu path is "Settings -> Network Settings -> Advanced -> Wireless -> Settings" On the Xbox 360, the menu path is "System -> Network Settings -> Edit Settings."
    3. Set the SSID (network name) on the Xbox to match that of the wireless router. If your wireless router has enabled SSID broadcast, the SSID name should appear pre-selected on the Xbox display. Otherwise, select the "Specify Unlisted Network" option and enter the SSID there.
    4. Specify "Infrastructure" as the Network Mode. (Infrastructure is the mode used by wireless routers.)
    5. Set the Security Type to match that of the wireless router. If your router uses WPA encryption and the type of adapter connected to the Xbox does not support WPA, you will need to change your router settings to use WEP encryption instead.
    Note that the standard Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter supports WPA while the standard Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter (MN-740) only supports WEP.
    6. Save your settings and verify the network is functional.
    On the Xbox, the Wireless Status screen displays whether a connection has successfully been made with the wireless router, and the Connect Status screen displays whether a connection has successfully been made through the Internet to Xbox Live.
    On the Xbox 360, use the "Test Xbox Live Connection" option instead.

  • How to open the proper port for your xbox 360 on a NVG589 router for optimal online gaming

    This took me a while to figure out on my own, so hopefully this will save someone else the trouble. My Xbox 360 said my setting were moderate.  Step 1: In your internet browser, type this http://192.168.1.254 into your address bar Step 2: Click on the tab at the top that says Firewall  Step 3: Click on the sub tab that says NAT/Gaming Step 4: In the drop down box located under the heading "Application Hosting Entry" Scroll down the option that says "XBox Live 360" and select it Step 5: In the second drop down box under the same heading find your Xbox 360's ip address and select it. If you don't know you Xbox's ip address it can be found on your console Network settings, select your connection, then select configure network, under basic setting will your ip address, remember that,  Step 6: Click Add  Step 7: Restart Xbox, everything should be running smoothly online Step 8: Profit!

  • Using your MacBook Pro as a Router For the Xbox 360

    Not sure how many of you guys have 360s, but I've written up a guide to use your MBP as a connection point for the 360. Basically it involves sharing your Airport with the Ethernet port. Here goes.
    How to Use a MacBook Pro as an Xbox 360 Internet Hub v.01
    This guide is copyright 2006 Jonathan Ferguson.
    If you would like to host it, email me at the address below.
    All trademarks are copyright their respective owners.
    I am not responsible for anything that happens that may screw up your Mac, 360, Internet, or anything else.
    By reading further you accept full responsibility for any damages or troubles that occur as a result
    of your using this guide. K?
    Welcome! I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and did not feel like shelling out 130 dollars for the
    360s Wireless Adapter.
    Thus I set out to find a solution and it was my shiny new mac that came to the rescue.
    I'm positive this can be done in Windows, but I've not taken the time (yet) to test it.
    I think it's very simple to follow, but I do recommend that only those with patience and a will to learn attempt the setup.
    Also if you don't know how to reset your router, I wouldn't recommend it either. But for the rest, on we go.
    You will need these things for this adventure:
    Broadband Internet Access
    1 Xbox 360
    1 CrossOver Cat 5 (NOT Patch, so NOT the one that came with the 360)
    1 Macbook Pro (the regular Macbook may work, I haven't tested it)
    1 Router with wireless and wired connections or 2 Routers linked together, one wired, one wireless.
    Plug the cross cable into the ethernet port on the mac and the ethernet port on the Xbox 360. Turn both on.
    Go to your system blade on the 360 into the network settings and go to the Sharing area of the
    System Preferences on the MBP.
    On the MBP make sure that your Airport Extreme connection is being shared with the Built-In Ethernet
    (check the box next to Built In Ethernet and hit the start button at the top.).
    Go into Network under System Preferences on the MBP.
    Pick Built In Ethernet in the Drop Down menu. Write down the Subnet Mask and IP Address for the adapter,
    you'll need that later.
    Contact your router by punching it's IP into an internet browser. (I.E: 192.168.1.1).
    This is usually the default IP for any router, so if you don't know what it is, try that one.
    It'll also ask you for the password and username which are usually:
    Login: admin
    Pass: password
    Login:
    Pass: admin
    or
    Login: admin
    Pass:
    Once you're in find the DNS Addresses (DNS 1 and 2)
    (under LAN not WAN if they're different) and write those down. Now it's time to go back to the Xbox.
    In the settings tab you'll find a lot of stuff has been set to automatic.
    This will not help you, so start changing the things to manual.
    Once you get in there, input each piece of information like so:
    IP Address: Have a look at the address of the Ethernet Adapter.
    Copy it digit for digit only make the last number lower than the last number of the Ethernet Adapter.
    (I.E if the Adapter is 111.211.13.5, make the 360 111.211.13.4)
    Subnet: This is the Subnet Mask you got from the Ethernet Adapter.
    Gateway: This is the IP address of the Ethernet Adapter (NOT the address of your router)
    DNS: These are the DNS numbers you got from your router.
    Now, before you allow the Xbox 360 to test the connection, make sure that you have a
    wireless internet connection coming in on the mac, and that you're sharing it with the ethernet card.
    Also, though I haven't tested it yet, keep the Ethernet card on DHCP. Putting it on manual might mess things up.
    Et Voila! Let the 360 run the tests.
    There's one test that'll take extra long to do but don't fret, it eventually goes through and works splendidly.
    I'll update this as I see fit, and feel free to email me at: [email protected] to add/correct/contribute.

    Well that's nice and all, but why not just spend the 50 bucks on a router? Also, why do you need a crossover cable? Modern operating systems do not require crossovers anymore.

  • 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.
    Thank you,

  • Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter N and Liksys WRT54GX Router

    When I configure the xbox 360 Wireless N adapter, as soon as i itroduce my WEP key all my internet conection goes down, in all my pc wirelessly and with the ethernet cable, i have to reset my router to connect to the internet again, Why is that?

    Check if your XBOX is not set to a Static IP? If you have set the Static IP on your XBOX and if its in the range of your Router, then due to Ipconflict the Internet Connection must be getting Down down on all the computers.
    If you have set the Static IP on your XBOX, then you need to set it to DHCP or Automatic and then try to connect to your wireless network on your XBOX.
