| XBOX 360 and FiOs(Actiontec M1424WR)
Ok tried calling like every support line ever trying to get my xbox 360 online and nothing has worked so i am hoping for some guru out there that can lend a hand! I have and xbox 360 elite and have the wireless xbox 360 attachment when i look for wireless networks i find mine and enter the WEP password however when i try to test it recognizes the wireless adapter but says it cannot connect to wireless network!? So I m really in the dark about what to do from here because it shows the network but i guess...wont' connect? I m not sure so any help would be awesome! |

| Are you sure that you are entering WEP and not another form of encryption? Also recheck your numbers there is an issue with the 0 looking like o's and the B's looking like 8 on the sticker of the actiontec router also turn off the wep for a min and try to connect, if it does then some number or character or form of wep is not quite right |

New York, NY | When I connected my Xbox360 to the Actiontec I gave my Xbox an IP address outside of the range the Actiontec will assign. |
|
AocLokk
@verizon.net | What might that be?
And when i assign it do i have to assign the subnet mask and gateway as well? |

| You need to look in the router and see what it is assigning through DHCP, mine was 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.255. I changed the top of the range to 192.168.1.55 and gave my Xbox the IP of 192.168.1.66. The gateway I believe became 192.168.1.1 and the subnet didn't change. |

The xbox wireless adapter does not work with the Actiontech M1424WR router. This is a confirmed problem. |

Wow, I spent 2 days trying to get my 360 to work with my Fios router. I even bought a Linksys game adapter and still cant get it to work. This suck. Guess I'll be buying a better router. |

The WEP key is hexadecimal (0 to 9, a to f). |

Hope you get your 360 on-line by the time Halo 3 is released.
By the way, Microsoft has lowered the price an all 360 models. The best value appears to be the Premium package that’s now going for $350. Microsoft has even updated the Premium to now include an HDMI output. You no longer have to spring for the Elite to get HDMI although you’ll still have to if you want the larger hard-drive or black finish. |

The microsoft adapter for 360 will not work. The work arounds that I have read are to buy the original xbox adapter, it will work. You can also buy another router, and just set it as an access point behind your actiontec, and that will work as well. Or, if possible, just run a cat5 drop, and hardwire it. |

New York, NY | I use a Zyxel P330W as a bridge, it cost me $30 I think might have been $40. Either way, it was way less then the $100 MS wants for a USB adapter. |

Yeah I know that it is in hex and that it is 0 thru 9 and A thru F but I was just saying that some people have inputed o's in sted of 0's not eveyone knows hex, and the fact that on some of the tags the B's and 8 look similar, thanks splicingdan for the refresher |

Hey Troyh72,
How do you know that the old wireless adapter works? That seems to be the easiest solution without having to rewire my whole house. Any downsides you see to this?
Thanks,
Munkiez |

I have the exact same problem. It isn't you, its the router. I tried EVERYTHING, but it just doesn't work.
I guess I need to buy a seperate router to bridge it, or run a wire through the wall downstairs to my Xbox. |

I had this issue, and researched it on the net. Several posts I came across stated that the old Xbox adapter worked. I cant confirm this, since I never had the old adapter, its just something I read. |

What is the Zyxel P330W? Where can I get one to bridge my signal? |

| This wasn't too bad but I had other weirdness as well. I have a Belkin Pre-N router. After calling VZ and finding out the Actiontec is bogus with consoles, I set it up as an access point and disabled the ActionTec (VZ) wireless.
The weird thing is, my wireless laptop can only connect through the Belkin. I had tried turning on both router's wireless, to see which router had better range. I gave them separate SSID's and separate WEP keys. But I couldn't get the laptop to connect through the VZ router no matter how I fudged with it. So now I again disabled the VZ wireless.
The Xbox has great connectivity, it's pretty fast downloading demos, at least as good as it was on Cox. (Not sure how fast wireless is vs a hard wired) |

I have an even worse issue. I have the original Xbox hardwire to my Netgear CG814WG Cable Modem Gateway with a new Cat-5 cable.
I am able to log into xbox live and play 2, just two, games of Halo 2(15-20min) after which it always disconnects me. I have done this about 150 times!
Comcast has no clues what to do(bunch of morons). I have no idea what to do(moron!). I tried to set up my xbox as the DMZ but the gateway does not 'read' my xbox; it is as if it wasn't there even though it is connected. To clarify: under computer name, i see the name of my computer, but no name for the xbox(although i see that something is connected on the ethernet outlet being used).
Any ideas? I had my computer off, so that it is not lack of bandwidth. I have 6mbps, and I used to have dsl at my old place with half that speed and I never had an issue with xbox live(halo 2 baby!) then. I know there is something wron with my router but I know people with the same router who report no issue. What the hell?
Remember it is hardwired with the proper wire(cat-5). The connection is working just fine, I abastain from using the internet on my computer so that all the bandwidth is dedicated to the xbox. I am able to connect and play just 2 games of halo 2 after which I am kicked out, as if the modem reseted itself(though i am not sure if it does) then it takes anywhere from 2-5 of troubleshooting xbox live to get it back to work for two more games and then the cycle repeats.
Anyone has any ideas? Thank you. |
