Xbox 360 Wireless Control not working in W7 x64

Hey all,
I have read some topics in here about issues on a Xbox 360 Wireless Control connection in Windows 7 x64 (I'm on a Dell Inspiron n5110, 6gb ram, intel core i5). Thing is, in difference to all those threads, in my devices list there ain't any "unrecognized
devices" nor anything, so all the solutions listed don't work for me.
What I have done:
1) Installed the Accesories 1.2 for Windows 7 x64
2) Plugged the receiver to my usb (it got detected by windows, recognized and listed properly in the devices and printers, as a wireless receiver)
3) Turned the controller on, hitted the sync button on the receiver, then on the control... and I get a eternal green blink around the Xbox button, which never ends nor stays in one of the quadrants.
As I don't see nothing like "unidentified device" in the device admin, I simply can't use the "update drivers" stuff. What can I do, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
I would suggest you to follow these steps and check if the issue is resolved:
1. Verify that the accessory is an officially licensed Xbox 360 wireless accessory.
2. Examine or replace the batteries to make sure that you have fully charged the batteries in the Xbox 360 wireless accessory.
3. Move the receiver away from other devices that could interfere with the wireless communication between the receiver and the Xbox 360 wireless accessory.
Note: Devices such as wireless routers, cordless telephones, and microwave ovens can generate wireless interference.
4. If you are using a wireless keyboard or mouse, disconnect the keyboard or mouse and reconnect the the wireless gaming receiver. Then try reconnecting your Xbox 360 wireless device to the PC.
Also, you may try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for controller in device manager and check if this helps.
If the problem persists, then please contact Xbox support for further assistance. Here’s the link:

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 ...

WRT610N 5ghz xbox 360 wireless N adapter won't connect (xbox 360 "Wireless Mode = Not connected")

Hi folks,
Looks like some other folks have reported similar. Haven't seen if an answer has been found anywhere.
WRT610v2 running latest firmware.
xbox 360 sees both the 2.4 network (ssid = network1) and the 5.0 network (ssid network2) when it does its scan.
Initially, xbox showed network strength for 2.4 network at 3 out of 4 bars and 5.0 network at 1 out of 4 bars.
Connects to 2.4 network just fine
Won't pull an ip address and reports "Not connected" when I select the 5.0 network.
I tweaked the wireless settings per some suggestions I found in this forum and now it shows the 5.0 network at 4 out of 4 bars signal strength. Also turned security on and off and xbox 360 reported the changes in security on the 5.0 network.
So the xbox 360 is definitely seening the 5.0 network. and can tell if it is running WPA2 or not.
If it can see the 5.0 network and recognizes what security and network type (infrastructure) is set, would would stop it from connecting to the WRT610n router and getting an IP address? No mac filters or firewalls are set and, again, connects just fine and gets an ip address if I select the 2.4 (network1 ssid) instead.
Won't work if I manually set IP, subnet, gateway, dns either.
Have tried mixed versus dedicated on the N radio...
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks!
rjb

Hello,
Thanks for the suggestions. Tried as you suggested but still no luck. Seems to see the 5ghz ssid just fine with plenty of strength but just will not pull an ip address or even connect if I manually assign.
Any other thoughts?
thanks again for taking the time to respond.

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.

[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

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!

Xbox 360 wireless headset

Does the new xbox 360 wireless headset by microsoft work on the xbox 360 arcade?

What's the model number or can you link to the product on BestBuy.com? I'm not aware of a "new" Xbox 360 headset but I'm sure it would work with the Arcade as it has wireless capabilities just like the other versions of the console.

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.

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.
EA6500 - v1.1.27.144156
WUMC710 - v1.0.00

Connecting XBOX 360 Wirelessly to WRT300N V1.1

If you suffer from a slow connection when using your Xbox 360 usb wireless adapter and the wrt300n router, then fret no more! I called both xbox and linksys and below is what I came up with, which made my connection to Xbox Live work properly. This may even work with other routers as well
Setup for WRT300N V1.1 connected wirelessly to an XBOX 360 USB Wireless Adapter.
Connection Type: High Speed Cable Internet.
Select Setup
Select Basic Setup
Change the MTU setting to manual, edit size to be 1365.
Save
Select Security
Deselect the “Filter Anonymous Internet Requests”
Save
Select Applications & Gaming
Select PortRange Forwarding
For the first port input the following:
Start ~ EndPort: 88 to 88
Protocol: UDP
To IP Address: 100
Check Enable
Application Name: xbox1
For the second port input the following:
Start ~ EndPort: 3074 to 3074
Protocol: Both
To IP Address: 100
Check Enable
Application Name: xbox2
Save
Select Administration
Disable Upnp
Save
This should allow for a smooth connection.

Thank you for your reply.  However, there is still some confusion on my part.
How does setting up a static IP on the PC help me connect to the Xbox 360 wirelessly?   Please explain.
The static IP Doesn't help you connect wirelessly, it helps you set up port forwarding properly.   So that is step 1
Step 2 would be for you connecting wirelessly, and I am pretty sure the actiontec is already security enabled, so if it is then you would look on the router itself for a silverish sticker that has an ESSID and a WEP KEY   When going through your xbox set up you will have a list of networks to choose from, make sure what you try to connect to matches the ESSID found physically on the router, and then it will ask you for a password or a network key and that is when you put in your WEP key.   That would get you on wirelessly.
the static ip is exclusively for your port forwarding and should only really be used if once your connected to the xbox wirelessly - if it's still having trouble.   that would be when you would set up the port forwarding as I kinda described earlier. so you put in your xbox the static ip address, and then your router will route traffic to and from it based on that ip.   mine didn't need the static ip it would connect wirelessly automatically or via dhcp, but when the network dragged or i got bad performance, that is when I went to port forwarding.

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 N Adapter Only Connects to 802.11G on WRT310N

I recently purchased the Xbox 360 Wireless N Adapter. I plugged it into my Xbox (which is current on updates, including the adapter drivers), and am able to successfully connect to my WRT310Nv1 using the "Mixed" mode, but only at 802.11G, not 802.11N. If I force my router into "Wireless-N Only" mode, the Xbox is able to see the signal, but will not connect. The WRT310Nv1 has the most recent firmware (v1.0.09) installed, and I am using WPA2 Personal, AES encryption.
I've scoured the internet and haven't been able to find a solution yet. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have an Xbox 360 Slim with the built-in Wireless N and I have the EXACT same problem. I also tried forcing my router into Wireless-N only mode and the Xbox will not connect. It will only connect in "mixed" mode but at 802.11G. This is very frustrating.
If any one can help us out it would be much appreciated!!
