WRT54G Wireless - Xbox 360

Converting/upgrading router to WRT54G wireless. All PCs working fine with upgrade, but Xbox 360 connects, then fails IP test.
If I remove security from the WRT54G, the Xbox connects completely and just fine, but when I reactivate security--either WEP or WPA security--Xbox no longer receives a valid IP address from DHCP, so I can't connect.
I've entered and reentered the appropriate security password at the Xbox, so it's not simply a typo on the password. I've also reset-to-factory-default and powercycled until I'm practically blue in the face. I've also tried disabling DHCP and setting a fixed IP at the Xbox and disabling UPnP. I've also used the Windows Connect function to download wireless settings from a working PC, as Xbox explicitly recommends in its instructions.
Help?

Many thanks for the reply. Does it seem as odd to you as it does to me that one should have to go through all that for what Xbox calls a "compatible router"?
In any event, Xbox tech support has done nothing to distinguish themselves in my eyes. Amongst their bad advice: "the Xbox wireless network adapter is bad"; "you're too far away from the router"--both blown away when I successfully connected to Xbox Live via my neighbor's unsecured router located much further away than my router.
Anyway, I devised the following work-around: knowing that my Xbox 360 connected fine to Xbox Live with my router unsecured, I kept the security off and opted for MAC address wireless filtering, which lets only specified MAC addresses connect to the router. As soon as I entered the Xbox 360's MAC address and saved the settings, we could connect to Xbox Live without any hesitation. I of course had to track down all the MAC addresses for our other devices, but once that was done, everything seems to be fine.
Now, the trick is never to do anything that will change any device's MAC address...
Again, this is a work-around, not a solution to the problem of why the secured WRT54G was failing to recognize the Xbox 360 under either WEP or WPA-Personal.

Trouble Connecting a Wireless Xbox 360 Controller to Windows 8.1 via the Play & Charge Kit

I've been trying to connect a standard black wireless Xbox 360 controller to my PC, a Dell Inspiron 17R Special Edition (what makes it special is a mystery to me, but that's the name) with the standard Play & Charge Kit.
I downloaded the drivers from Microsoft's website <http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-wireless-controller-for-windows>. Since there was no version for Windows 8.1, I downloaded the version for windows 7 (64-bit) and ran the installer
in compatibility mode. The installer ran just fine, and I was able to run joy.cpl with no trouble. The trouble was, my controller doesn't show up in the list of game controllers, which is blank.
Under Devices and Printers, an item named "Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play and Charge Kit" appears in the "Unspecified" category. When I look at the properties of this device, there are only two tabs, "General" and "Hardware".
Under the "Hardware" tab, there is a device also named"Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play and Charge Kit" whose properties have all the proper drivers and suchlike.
Help!

Uninstall all the driver.
Download and install the latest driver,or,you may try the same to get via Windows Update.

WRT310N gives my wireless Xbox 360 terrible connection when PC is wired

When my wired PC is linked to my WRT310N, my wireless Xbox 360 has a terrible connection and is repeatedly disconnected. When my PC is not hooked up, my Xbox 360 gets a perfect connection, just like it's wired. I've had this router for around a year and just ran into this problem 4 days ago. Discovered the problem an hour ago.

If the above settings didn't made much difference to the connection on your XBOX, then i think you need to upgrade the firmware of your Router.
Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in search tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop...
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

IPhone 2.0 & Wireless Xbox 360 Controller

Does any one's iPhone w/ 2.0 disconnect their wireless Xbox 360 Controller while using the new apps?

I did actually have my Xbox 360 controller disconnect in the middle of a game for the first time yesterday. It was fully charged. My iPhone 3g was on and located within 5 feet of it, but it was not being used so I can't believe it'd be related.
The thing is, Microsoft uses a proprietary wireless communication protocol (which is where there's no wireless third party apps) so it would be very hard to believe that it would interfere with the iPhone or any other phone. The iPhone definitely doesn't have any type of signal receiver or transmitter in it that's unique and many other phones have the same and don't cause problems.

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,

WRT54G V6 - XBOX 360 Moderate NAT - NEED Open NAT

Ok, I have seen a post in response to wanting Open NAT on the WRT54G V6 wireless router. The response was as follows: ******************** 192.168.1.1 (default IP address). Leave the username field blank and in the password type “admin” (if you have not changed the password). When the linksys configuration page loads up fully …..click on the tab that says Application and Gaming. When the page loads up fully u can specify the ports that needs to be forwarded for your Xbox. Make sure that before forwarding the ports u assign a static IP address for your Xbox in the same range as that of your router. Specify the sane IP address in the port forwarding page. Also set the MTU of the router to 1365. Try forwarding the ports 88 and 3374. ******************* HOWEVER... I have multiple XBOX's behind the router so I don't believe doing port forwarding will be of any help here will it???? Is there a newer Linksys Wireless router that will allow us to configure Open NAT??? Is there a third part firware that can update the WRT54G V6 so that it can utilize Open NAT??? Desparately need to get 3 or 4 XBOX 360's working behind this thing in open NAT mode. Thanks in advance!!!

well..in this case , you should go to "Applications and Gaming" and instead of "Port Forwarding" .. you should try "Port Trigerring" .. enter the required numbers .. no need to assign a static ip add to any of the x-boxes ..

WRT54G (V6) Xbox 360 DNS Test Failed

I am trying to get online with my xbox 360. It is passing its IP address test, but failing the DNS test. It actually passed the DNS test once, after several powercycles....but never again.
Here are my specs:
XBOX 360 connected eithernet to a Linksys WRT54G (V6) Firmware has been updated as of today.
My ISP is AT&T/Yahoo DSL with a Speedstream 5100 modem provided by my ISP.
My xbox is assigned a static IP of 192.168.1.7 (suggested by Linksys) and automatic for DNS
Here are my router settings:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So does that mean that I can configure the WRT54G as a PPPoE that manages the user name and password so that the account is allways active. Jeeze, I have no idea what I am doing here.
Yes... If you have the Connection Type set to DHCP change it to PPPoE and enter your Username & Password.

I have the WRT54G Version 6. I could not connect -- First I updated the firmware. Check the linksys site for your router under support to ensure you have the most up-to-date firmware. Still could not connect. Observed which IP it was assigning to the XBox then put this IP address into the DMZ. It has worked since. Might work, might not. I noticed you have the V3 router, so hope this helps in some way.

Can I programmatically control an xbox 360 console from a PC using a USB cable?

I have an application that may require LabVIEW, some software normally associated with LabVIEW or both...
I would like to be able to programmatically control an Xbox 360, via a PC, and through the use of a USB cable connecting both. I have setup a separate Xbox 360 console as a "dedicated server" for my gaming clan. I would like to be able to have the PC issue scripted commands according to a schedule, that will cause the console to power up, start the specific game (disk in the machine already), and then proceed through a number of Xbox 360 controller button actuations to cause the game to essentially be ready to play.
If possible, I would like to find software that I could install on my PC (currently run with a Windows XP SP2 OS, but I have access to many versions of Windows and also Linux and soon, Solaris Unix).
I have tried using various Infrared devices that connect to and are controlled by my PC, but none so far have allowed the infrared signals to work once the game is launched (apparently, only controller signals generated through a USB cable or through RF from a wireless Xbox 360 remote work once the game is launched - and that probably because the IR signals are meant to control the console as a media device).
I would appreciate any direction that you 'all could offer. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your replies everyone, and thanks to NI for this great forum!
The last solution appears to be pretty close to what I'd like to do. If I understand you Robert, I would attach a DAQ to my PC via USB and would control that device via software, then the DAQ connects to a digital output controlled relay (looks multiple wires, and screw-on connections) and then there would be separate wires connecting 'channels' (my term) from the relay to individual button wires inside of the gaming controller? The signals coming from the controller following this would therefore appear as normal.
If this is correct, could you suggest any specific devices for this? I see that NI makes several USB DAQ's includng the USB-6501, 6008, and 6009. I also have seen many digital output controlled relays available from different vendors. I could use some assistance with the finer points for choosing the correct ones to purchase.
In case it makes any difference although the controller has analog functions my requirements are for only the digital buttons only as I would simply be proceeding through the Console's menu (left, right, up, down, enter/select, etc.), launching the game, and then within the game continuing to choose among the game's menu items, ultimately according to a script. So, I don't see any need to be able to actuate either of the 'sticks' which are analog in nature.
Thanks!

It must have been a fault with the broadband itself, as you did not say whether other computers were affected on their own, I assumed it was only the Xbox.
At least its sorted now.

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 ...
