Xbox 360 wireless adapter for windows 8.1.

would the xbox 360 wireless receiver adapter work with windows 8.1. because i'm having a problem that my controller keeps getting disconnected for no reason.

Hi,
Regarding your problems about not connecting the controller to the adapter, I suggest you replace the batteries or recharge the battery pack.
Meanwhile, I would like to verify if the controller is recognized in Device Manager. How about changing different USB ports?
Please reinstall the latest driver of the receiver adapter and the controller from Microsoft.
If the issue persists, I would recommend you to contact Xbox support for further assistance.

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 ...

Airport extreme connecting with xbox 360 wireless adapter problems...help!!

Has anyone linked their xbox 360 wireless adapter to an Airport Extreme? I need help! Neither Apple nor Microsoft knew how to link the two devices. If anyone has successfully been able to make this work, your help will be much appreciated. Thanks guys

Yes - Mine works no problem. I have found that I have to unplug the Xbox360 wireless adaptor and plug it back in occasionally (if the green light is on everything is fine). Are you using the correct WPA Key?

Configuring an XBOX 360 Wireless adapter to Airport

How do you configure an XBOX 360 Wireless adapter to your Airport. I've Been trying to connect to xbox live but have been having trouble doing this.

You have connect 360, right?

If so, I think you have to change the default security from WPA to WEP (or vice-versa) in order to make it work.

WRT350N compatibility with XBox 360 wireless adapter

I just installed a new WRT350N - all my computers connect just fine - my XBox wireless adapter will not connect. Is there a compatibility issue?

Make sure that your wireless security is not set to WPA2. The XBOX 360 wireless adapter does not support it. You need to use WPA or WEP.

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.

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!!!

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.

Wired xbox 360 controller used for PC

I have tried literally everything I can think of, I searched it, and a resounding solution were these steps:
1) Download the drivers from "Can't post links yet"
2) Choose Gaming > Xbox 360 Controller for Windows > Windows 7 64 bit > English.Don't run the drivers. Save them to a folder. (Or Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows depending on your controller)
3) Right click the Xbox360_64Eng file in the folder you downloaded to and click "create shortcut"
4) Right click the shortcut you created. Select properties.
5) On the compatibility tab in properties, click "Run this program in compatibility mode" ChooseWindows Server 2008 Service Pack 1 as the compatibility mode. Apply setting and click ok.
6) Right Click on the shortcut and select "Run as administrator"
7) With your controller plugged in go to Device Manager. You should see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class. It located under Mice and other pointing if you do, you have arrived. If you don't, try this.
Continue only if you don't see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class in Device Manager
8) Right click the unknown device that shows a problem.
9) Update Driver Software > Browse My computer for Driver Software > Let Me Pick from a List of Drivers
10) Choose Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class > XBOX 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows
I have tried the steps in order countless times. tried many different compatability modes, and to no avail am I able to get the "Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class" to show up. so I continue through the next 3 steps (8-10) and
the option listed in step 10 is not available. and I have been trying to fix this since 7:00 AM this morning.....

Hi,
Are we download the driver from the following link?

Airport and using a xbox 360 wireless

I want to convert to the apple world and a airport network. I am 99% there.
I have been readin many post's about xbox 360 not working on airport networks, i was woundering can you use a AirPort Express unit and hard wire in to the 360. so it would work like a wireless bridge.
Has any one tired this or hard wired a non wireless computer like this?

John Knowles wrote:
Hey I think, I just responded to this same topic in the Airport Express forum (?)
Anyway, I was going to post this as a sticky on the topic but this seems as good a place to put my info. I have an XBox 360 hardwired into my Airport network, works great. Here's my setup:
1. Main access point: Time Capsule 500GB (upstairs) plugged into Time Warner cable modem. Set to Wireless N, b/g compatible.
2. Bridge: Airport Extreme N base station (downstairs), extending my wireless network.
3. XBox 360 plugged into the downstairs base station via Ethernet cable.
4. TivoHD also plugged into the base station. Not important to this discussion, just to show that it works (and that it's nice to be able to hardwire all your AV devices).
Set your primary base station to be extendable, then configure your second base station as a bridge by allowing it to extend your primary network. Easy. Plug in the 360 and it will configure automatically, no need to go through all the PAINFUL configs when using wireless.
Just for the record, I also tried:
1. XBox 360 wireless adapter and my Time Capsule: would only work when I set my Airport network to "B only" mode, which is pretty useless. Stopped working altogether after I swapped wireless adapters and tried to switch back. I think it's a piece of junk, and the XBox's wireless setup could use an overhaul.
2. Linksys G Game Adapter: worked briefly with Time Capsule, then stopped working. Created it's own ad-hoc network despite being told not to. Can only setup using web utility on a Mac. Also a piece of junk.
**Final advice: if you have Time Capsule, do yourself a favor and buy an Express or another base station and hardwire your Xbox 360. You'll save yourself a lot of headache. An Express costs close to what an XBox wireless adapter costs anyway, so it makes more sense to go this route.**
Haha, you're a **** genius. I was going to buy a new n-compatible Airport Express anyway (been borrowing my mom's old Express thus far) – aaand I just got an Xbox 360. And also, by doing it your way, I will only have the power cord and the ethernet cable from the modem to my Time Capsule‚ all other devices (iPhone, MacBook Pro, PS3) will connect wirelessly, and the Express will do the same, and since its current position is like 1 meter away from the Xbox 360, this was truly one of my all-time highlights of a forum-solved problem...
Thanks!

[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.

Using Airport Extreme as a wireless adapter for an xbox 360 and/or computer

I have a wifi network that is successfully broadcasting internet, i also have a spare Airport Extreme that i would like to use as a wireless adapter for my xbox 360.
My Existing network is being broadcast from a D-Link modem so it doesn't support "extending a network" with airport extreme
What i want to achieve is:
Wifi Internet being broadcast by d-link, received by Airport Extreme WIRELESSLY, then sent via a WIRE to my xbox 360's ethernet port so that i can access internet on my xbox 360.
Unfortunately:
My Xbox 360 doesn't have built in wireless
Connecting to the d-link network wirelessly (with the airport extreme) doesn't seem to give me a wired internet connection (from the airport extreme)
I don't want to extend the network wirelessly
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance to any users who know how to solve my (probably simple) problem

Welcome to the discussions, DanSwiggsD!
If you have a non-Apple device as your main router, unfortunately the AirPort Extreme has almost no chance of compatibility with your main router.
If you do have an Apple router as your main device, please post back with your model number and we'll let you know how your devices should be configured.
If you don't have an Apple device as your main router you have a few options to connect the xbox:
1) A pair of ethernet powerline adapters could be used if you did not want to run a regular ethernet cable from your main router to the xbox.
2) The new AirPort Express 802.11n model does have a feature called Proxy STA which should allow it to receive a wireless signal from any wireless router and allow the ethernet port to be enabled.

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.
