Hi,
I bought a new Xbox 360 recently and have only recently got the wireless adapter for it. When I plug it in the red light is on and I can find my network but when I enter my WEP key the page just closes and sends me back to the basics settings menu and it says ';not connected';, it doesnt even show an error message...
i have tried everything from opening ports, changing the WEP key, trying it with no internet security, mac addresses, etc. but it still has the same response of shutting the page and going back to basic settings...
Does anybody know how to fix this or do I need to send the adapter back?
My router is a Linksys WRT300NXbox 360 Wireless Adapter problems!?
Send it back..get your XBOX 360..chuck it on the floor..stamp on it.. laugh.. go buy a PS3..live happily evr after :)Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter problems!?
Have you tryed resetting your Router, unplugging your routers power cord, or restarting your Modem?
All I can think of is your Router is Denying your XBOX's access.
I would either contact Linksys support or Microsoft support, or just play around with your router setings till it works.
What Akii said :P
Don't use WEP. Use WPA at a minimum. WPA2 is the best.
Anyway, it sounds like you might need to change your wireless channel or clone your MAC address of the card in the router. Change the wireless channel to 1, 6, or 11 only.
If that doesn't work, you should look into powerline. Check these links out:

Now I run both powerline and wireless. Powerline is as simple as plugging it in. There is no drivers or software to load. The nice thing about powerline is that it seems to be as reliable as connecting to the router as far as not going down. Also, it eliminates the bad security issues wireless has. Security can easily be enabled if you are worried about your outdoor power outlets by pressing a button.
