Wrt54GS router and Wrt54GS wireless adapter on Xbox 360

Totally new in the wireless router business, I bought the Wrt54GS router and the Wrt54GS adapter to connect my Xbox 360.
I installed the router with the cd and connected my pc on the router with a fixed ethernet cable.
So far everything working fine.
Then connected the wireless adapter on the Xbox 360, but it seems like the Xbox 360 doesn't recognise the Wrt54GS adapter.
What did i do wrong?
Sebastian

Do you have wireless PC's ? are they able to go online ?
enable network security and also change the beacon to 50 and the RTS and fragmentation threshold by 40 each under the advanced wireless settings.

AirPort Express as a Wireless Adapter For Xbox 360 and to stream PC audio?

Ok, so I am wondering if I can do this config with an AirPort express. I want to connect the AirPort to my existing WiFi, and be able to plug in an Ethernet cable connected to an Xbox 360 to get Xbox Live, as well as stream audio from my PC. Is this possible to do at once? Also, is it possible to stream PC audio, not just iTunes music? Thanks for your time.

Hello podalex,
Just an FYI for you with regard to the Airport Express:
It is always best to check with the software manufacturer FIRST. They will tell you if they have tested the product and the version, as well as whether or not it will work with Windows 7.
Check out the Windows 7 Compatibility site: (There you will find out about hardware and software compatibility.)
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/en-us/default.aspx
There is a pulldown from which you can choose "hardware" and "software".
There are also some great articles, instructional videos and such to help with your Windows 7 at our Springboard site:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/default.aspx
In any event a lot of the times, Vista drivers will work in lieu of Windows 7 drivers, however, it's not 100%!
As stated previously, it's best to have the Windows 7 certified drivers installed.
Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/w7itpro/ . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You may want to check the threads available there for additional assitance and support.

Help using powerbook as wireless adapter for Xbox 360

Ok I need help partially opening my NAT. I have a Linksys WRT54G. And I play on Xbox Live a lot. The other day I moved the xbox into my living room where our new tv is and then I hooked my G4 Powerbook up to the xbox and did internet sharing because I have no internet connection in there besides wireless. Whenever I use a wired connection on the xbox is says my NAT is open. But whenever I use my laptop it says my NAT is Moderate, and it makes it hard to get into any games. I don't want to chip out the money for a $100 microsoft adapter because I will rarely play xbox in their. So how do I go about opening up the NAT the rest of the way.
http://www.ofzenandcomputing.com/zanswers/61 there is how I did it, but I setup the xbox with a static IP
On my router I have ports 88 and 3074 open which make the NAT open on wired connection. So I am thinking I may need to open those ports on the laptop itself? I am not sure if I can open ports on the laptop for outgoing connections.
Thanks for the help!

A wireless router is a device which requires its own wired internet connection. A wireless router is not a wireless access point like the Linksys WAPs. A wireless router does not connect wireless to other wireless routers/APs with standard Linksys firmware. With Linksys firmware you need a WAP54G or similar. The WAPs support wireless bridging and repeater mode.
If you already have a WRT54GL then you have to install a 3rd party firmware which adds wireless bridging capabilities. Read the wikipedia article on "WRT54G" for information about which WRT models support 3rd party firmware and an overview of projects and links.
Remember, however, that you may brick your router if you install a 3rd party firmware incorrectly and you probably void the warranty if you install 3rd party firmware (it is even possible to find out after you restore the original Linksys firmware if you don't clear the NVRAM before).

WRT54GS Wont support Two XBOX 360s online at the same time

Just bought new Linksys WRT54GS to support two XBOX 360s live simultaneously. Can't log both on at same time. It kicks first 360 off when second one tries to log on. How can I fix this and have both NAT types open?

I'm having the same issue. I have comcast as ISP, Linksys modem BEFCMU10 V3, going to a Linksys router WRT54GS V4, two desk tops hardwired to the router, TiVo with a wireless and two Xbox 360s with Xbox wireless adaptors. Each Xbox 360 has a different Live account, one has mine the other has my daughters. Either by itself goes live just fine but as soon as the second unit is brought on the first kicked off. If left on they will take turns dropping off from Xbox Live. One night we alternately texted/chatted from both of our Xboxs to the same third party. When he had signed off for the night and showed be "offline" on my unit my daughters unit still showed him "online" until we shut her Xbox off. In addition the NAT always seems to change. Some times its open, others it's medium or strict. This seems to be related to having one or both Xboxs on. I found an article on segmenting your network by using two wireless routers and running the Xboxes through the router closest to the modem and everything else through the second down line router. I haven't tried it yet. Anything I'm missing? Something else I should try? I've talked to the Geeks and some tell you can't so it and others tell me sure it will but they want $$. I've talked to other gamers that tell they've had two Xboxs on Live with no problem.

WRT54G v6 - Troubles connecting XBOX 360 to XBOX Live?

I just purchased a new XBOX 360 and I'm finding that I can't connect to XBOX Live using my WRT54G v6 (firmware version 1.01.1).
If I connect the XBOX 360 directly to my DSL modem, I can connect to XBOX Live.
If I try to connect the XBOX 360 to the WRT54G v6 (using either a direct ethernet connection, or using the XBOX 360 Wireless adapter) I can't connect to XBOX Live.
When I run the diagnostic tests on the XBOX 360, all of my connection tests pass with flying colours.
Has anyone else had this problem? How do you fix it?

hi, i have just recently bought the wireless adapter for the 360, and i keep getting boot off xbox live when ever my brother turns his PS3 on or off. even when a house call is made or comes in i get booted. if my brother doesnt turn his PS3 on or a call doesnt come in or go out, i can play fine, but once one of those happens i get booted. noone knows what i can do, xbox told me to call linksys, i was never able to talk to a real person on the phone, just machines. does any one have a clue??? i was told to change my NAT, but it's open, so i dont know what to do.

Wireless slow with Xbox 360 Madcatz adapter

I have just had Infinity installed yesterday and all is fine with my laptop and speeds, however, my sons Xbox 360 is connected via a Madcatz wireless adapter and he is experiecing lag since the conversion.
I connected the router as soon as it arrived through the post and the connection was ok then, but since the engineer converted the line to Infinity, it has now gone slow.
Anyone got any suggestions?

I had the same problem the other day. Xbox360 will not pass the security for WPA....I called the Linksys help desk and the guy was great...I had to change my settings for the router to be WEP with a passcode and then the Xbox360 wireless adapter would work.....When you set-up the router I'm sure you were like me and put the hightest security, which does not allow xbox360 wireless to pass through...Change to WEP with a passcode....Then it worked like a charm...

WRT54GL Router and HP Wireless Notebook

I have a Linksys WRT54GL router with v4.30.5 firmware and a SpeedStream 5360 modem with SBC Yahoo! DSL. My desktop is connected directly to the router and the internet works fine. I can connect to my wireless network on my HP wireless notebook with an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG network adapter, but I can't connect to the internet. It sends packets, but hardly receives any (about 5 per minute). Windows Automatic Updates works fine, when I update the received packets increases, but I still cannot browse the internet. Even when I try a wired connection I get the same results, packets sent but few received. I've tried resetting the modem, and router, and repairing my adapter with no success. Thanks for any help.

Change the following settings
ssid-"yourname"
channel=11
beacon interval =50
RTS and Fragmentation threshold (default value) -40
the last 3 options are found under advanced wireless settings .
then restart ur wireless PC and re-connect to the wireless network.
if u have issues even after these settings....verify that u have the latest firmware
also u may need to change the power management option for your intel wireless pro NIC.
to do so....u need to go to the advanced properties of the Intel......under the "property" column...select "power management" and change the value to "highest"
in case u have any confusion....call tech support...n tell them what u wanna do....
my experience with linksys tech has been good so far

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

Wrt54g and internal wireless adapter - please help

Okay, I'm new to this home networking so my lingo is non existence. I have a wrt54g wireless router. Can I use this router with my labtop internal wireless adapter. I assumed I could use this router w/out a modem or ISP, based on what the sales rep told me when I bought the router. Patient and expertise would be greatly appreciated. Please help!!!!

When you sign up with your ISP, they will likely provide you with (or sell you) a modem. Be sure you get a modem with an "ethernet port" (sometimes called a 10/100 port) on it. If the modem only has a USB port, you will not be able to connect to it with that router.
Sometimes the ISP will give you the choice of a modem, a router-modem, or a wireless router-modem. Since you already have a wireless router, all you need is a modem.

WRT310N as wireless adapter with XBOX and PC attached/ WRT600N as router???

I have the WRT600N dual band router installed on the main floor of the house. I just bought a WRT310N yesterday with hopes of attaching it as an adapter for my son's XBOX 360 and wife's PC in the basement. The two basement devices would attach to the WRT310N and then I could pick up the WRT600N signal for Interent and network access.
It seems that so far I was wrong. I cannot figure out how to get the WRT310N to work in this fashion.
Before I return it, I wanted to check and see if anybody had any thoughts on this. I would then need to buy a single gaming adapter for the XBOX 360 and a separate adapter for the PC. I was trying to kill two birds with one stone.
By the way, I could switch the WRT600N and the WRT310N if the former has the ability to do so.
Thank you all.
Sal

You can purchase WET200 as it will communicate wireless to your router and will act like a switch also as it has 5 ethernet ports to connect 5 different devices using cables...

Using the WRT54G and a WUSB54GC with an Xbox 360.

Hi,
I have a WRT54G router and I just bought a WUSB54GC compact Wireless-G USB adapter because I thought I could connect it to my Xbox 360 to play games online. Is this possible? I've tried a few times, but I can't get it to work. I'm not too tech savvy but I'm guessing that it isn't supposed to work like that. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi
As far as my knowledge, if you want to use WUSB54GC you need to install its drivers, and that is not possible on X-box 360, in that case you can check if your X-box 360 is Wi-Fi enabled, if not you can use a special product i.e. WGA54G, Wireless-G Gamming Adapter, It's completely driver-free, so it works on any platform. Since there's no drivers to load, setup is a snap. It provides lag-free gaming with communication speeds up to 54Mbps when connected to other Wireless-G devices. It can also connect to Wireless-B (802.11b) devices and networks at 11Mbps.

WRT54GS NAT Settings Concerning Xbox 360 Setup

My xbox 360 is connected to a Dell Inspiron B130 notebook via an Ethernet cable. The notebook is then connected wirelessly to a Linksys WRT54GS router. The router, finally, is connected to a Sprint DSL modem. My problem is that with this setup, whenever I try to play online on my 360, it tells me that my "NAT settings" are set to "Strict", and that they should be set to "Open". Could someone please tell me how to fix this problem, providing step-by-step instructions? Thanks!

Do have the proper ports forwarded in your router?? Be my only guess......or check ebay for an xbox360 wireless adaptor.

Using router and USB wireless on same machine but can't browse

Hello, everybody.
I have a WRT54G connected to my desktop to enable a laptop to exchange files with me.
Also have a WUSB54G on the same machine to connect to a local hotspot.
Problem is I lose the ability to browse the net when the router is connected.
Does anyone know how to configure this setup so the web browser (IE6) will look for the internet through the USB adaptor instead of trying to go through the router?

Are you able to go online, when your computer is connected directly to the router?? also your laptop is able to go online?? If computer is running on Win XP…. you need to completely uninstall wireless adapter from computer click on start >> programs >> wireless G USB adapter >> uninstall, insert the CD for adapter and restart the computer, one window would pops up found new hardware, install only the drivers no need to install software or utility and use WZC to manage wireless connections…check whether it works or not.

Wireless bridge to Xbox 360 stopped with T-Mobile@home Linksys router

I have my 360 bridged to the network using a Buffalo WHR-G125 (running dd-wrt firmware) as the secondary. Was working great when my Linksys WRT150N was the primary. I recently switched over to T-Mobile's @home VOIP service. It requires the use of their Linksys WRTU54G-TM router. Since then, I can't hook up to Xbox Live. When I run the "test media connection", it fails at "IP Address". Funny thing is, when I hooked the WHR-G125 up to my computer, using the LAN port that normally is used to connect to the router (and internet), I was able to connect to the network wirelessly through the WHR-G125. Apparently the WHR-G125 can connect to the T-mobile router, but for some reason the 360 can't. Any suggestions?

Finally got it working. Had to manually configure the network settings on the Xbox.
