Re: XBOX 360 and FiOs(Actiontec M1424WR)
said by draven  :The xbox wireless adapter does not work with the Actiontech M1424WR router. This is a confirmed problem. draven is correct. I had the same issue. 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. |

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 |

Keller, TX | 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) |
