Hey there,

Please help me. Everytime i test for my connection, it fails at the wireless network test. And i dont know what to do next. If anyone knows how to fix this problem, i'd be glad cause i've been trying to fix this thing for days with no luck.

Thanks in advance.

are u using the xbox wireless adapter?

give us more info, like wireless router settings n such.

Yeah iam using the MS wireless adapter. What do u want to know about my wireless router settings? I can tell you everything. The problem is that although the xbox detect my router signal, but it didnt set the ip add, dns and etc. Although i set it as automatic.

Did u turn on a MAC filter on your wireless router? Sounds like it.

No mac filter. It disabled it.

normal settings for your router... if you're not getting an IP check your DHCP settings.. isit locked with a access key? try disabling it.. try disconnecting all devices and just access using the 360 only.. maybe ip conflict..

printscreen ur router page n paste it here

By the way, i disabled the firewall (router) do i need to enable it?

disable is good...

What brand and model your wireless router is?

Brand = TP-link

Model = WR542G

By the way, my router is in the 1st floor and my 360 is in my room ( G-floor ). This i believe is not the problem, cause the 360 senses the signal.

DHCP enabled..? seems like ur X360 is not getting an IP add,

Yeah the xbox360 doesnt get any ip, dns etc although i set it as auto. How do i fix this? Disabled it?? lol

^ ur router, u check if DHCP is enabled.. if still the same issue.. u manually assign the IP n gateway on ur X360,
If you do so the the settings ought to be as below
Ur gateway should be 192.168.1.1 (ur router)
ur ip add should be 192.168.1.x (x depends on what range does ur router assign as DHCP IP addresses.)

Did that. But still it doesnt work. Could it probably be that my router is not xbox-live compatible??? My psp works well with my router's setting.

either try manually assign an ip to ur xbox, or use ur xbox mac addr n set an ip to it at ur router.
n also put these into ur xbox dns servers: 202.188.0.133 202.188.1.5 last time i didnt put dns, i cant connect.

Did everything. But i actually found out the problem is that i notice the Link ( Under Network Settings ) colour was red and Act colour was clear. I believe it was suppose to be Link ( Green ). Tell me how to fix this yo.

Errr.. what mode does the wireless adapter support again? A, B, and G? Or? I don't know cause I don't have one.

Worse case scenario first, try setting your router to operate in B mode first and see if anything happens. I'm guessing the reason the Link light isn't on is because, well you don't have a connection to the router mar.

I tried using my psp to connect to the router, and everything works great. Iam connected to the internet. But not with the Xbox 360, yes, iam using g mode. I'll try to change to b and see if anything happens.

Try changing the Wireless channel. Also are you using any WEP or passwords? Because if you are using WEP, you must enter the passcode in the encrypted format to the Xbox 360. So say you use 64-bit encryption for the word "gears". Then you have to enter the 64-bit format into your Xbox 360 - ie. NOT the word "gears"

What do u mean by So say you use 64-bit encryption for the word "gears". Then you have to enter the 64-bit format into your Xbox 360 - ie. NOT the word "gears" ?

First of all are you using any WEP or security on your Wireless network?

I disabled it

Hmm... ok then I dunno what else to recommend

i suggest u to try asking for help from the gameshop that u bought that wireless adapter from. if not go to djinn n try to bring some McD or coffee or something for his trouble, afaik he has wifi at his shop.

Edit: just saw ur location, ur in KK, w00t. ignore my post

un9ku, i bought the wireless adapter from DJiNN and it runs well when i tried to use it at my uncle's house. But not in my house. Btw, the link indicator was suppose to be green but mine was red (under network settings). ANy idea?

maybe ur house got some mystical beings, screwing up ur wifi signals.
anyway, did u do some thorough checks? i mean.. ok at ur uncle's place i assume u use his wifi router, maybe his network is using 192.168.1.x for the ips, while urs is 10.0.0.x. maybe u can do the "test my connection for live" again. then do some port forwarding for ur xbox, for that, check www.portforward.com. or if ur lazy, just put ur xbox's static ip into the DMZ (for this, just assign ur xbox's mac addr to a static ip).
if these don't work, then i can hang my trousers, n wave my white undies tied up to a pole.

I think what marauderz said is crucial. Have you tried it?

Now problem is your xb360 can't detect any signal. Otherwise, try bringing back the wireless adapter and test, see whether it works.

Heres summore links for troubleshooting the adapter: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907602
U said u got red indication right?
• Steady red light: The adapter is ready to be connected to a wireless network.
• Flashing red light: The adapter is experiencing a hardware failure.

PJ & Marauderz: it supports a,b & g
http://reviews.cnet.com/Microsoft_Xbox_360...29.html?tag=nav

Red Light on the link indicator ( Under Network Settings after u connect to a SSID ). Not on the MS wireless adapter . I tried everything from DMZ, upnp enabled and etc. No luck. Even port forwarding. When i test with wired connection, everything was fine and even the NAT was open.
I even download some stuff from Marketplace and kicked somebody's ass in FIFA 07.

Anyone that can help me, i give them free 1600 MS points. Iam dead serious.

PrivateJohn, it works fine when i test it at my uncle's house. (Aztech)

Ermm... are u using WPA2?

Hmm...you did disabled WEP though...im at a loss of what is happening to ur wifi connection..

All i did with mine was install the router, set the streamyx connection and voila, everythign in my house connected to it..

zio, maybe router problem. Iam using Tp-Link maybe its not xbox360 compatible. When i tried at my uncle's house ( Aztech router ), everything went smoothly.

ok now im giving u the solution, the 1600 ms point u better gimme ok
u switch ur router with ur uncle's. easy eh?

edit: when u did the "test xbox live connection" which part fails? issit at the wireless thingy or at icmp or mtu or xbox live or nat

This post has been edited by un9ku: Jan 8 2007, 04:13 PM

un9ku, failed at "Wireless Network".

Sounds like it is not detecting your router signal. Time to get a new one. I recommend Linksys

Actually when the 360 look for the wireless signal, it was there ( the SSID) and the signal is 100% (cover the 4 bars) although the router is located at 1st floor of my house and the xbox at the ground-floor. Btw, which router you recommend that is a 100% working. What model? and price pls?

IMO not the router problems.... i think u shd bring ur router to ur uncle toby house to test on it.... no harm trying or u wanna waste some moo to get new router....

you juz minimize the scope of problems.... ur 360 working with ur uncle toby router..

wireless adapter faulty? No
ur uncle toby router work? Yes
ur router? No

no harm to bring it to ur uncle toby to give it a shot..


BTW ur 360 modded rite?.. can't support lar ... only unmodded support M$ Wireless Adapter...

j/k

SexyBack, i dont know that you're a joker . ok i'll try and see. thanks for the advice

Ask around if your friends in KK has the Linksys WRT4G err..i cant remember the exact model but i PMed you before..

Test the router if it works at your place..

My uncle has aztech's and tried in his house, everything was so simple. Plug and play. I think i should bring his router to my house. Linksys WRT4G, how much is it?

i bought my linksys wrt54gs v4 for rm268 last year at lowyat plaza. best thing bout this router is that u can install 3rd party firmware just make sure u dun buy the v5 and above, its a big hassle.
weh if u dun mind, u buy some games on arcade then copy to my console mwahahaha. there's a trick to it. 1 acc buy, another acc can play full version oso

Okay but only after everything works well, but any way to solve this prob without buying a new router???

where is ur current location? i heard u bought ur adapter from djinn rite? i would be a great idea if u can bring ur console to him + ur router oso. but since or if ur at kk, i guess we cant help u much

I think my router's having a problem,iam buying Linksys.

ur call.... best way to bring ur 360 go there and test... or maybe with ur current router...

My 360 and my wireless adapter is fine because i tested in my uncle's house and everything went well. So, i think router's having a problem.

yep, u can always sell ur router. sell to star8ucks or local mamak, so u can online when u go mamak kakaka

Sell my router?? Nobody wants to buy a brand they're not familiar with. TP-Link from China. I dont think XBL is official in China thats why the router is not compatible.

I beg to differ, I am pretty sure that China is one of the official regions for Xbox live, mr gates would be pretty stupid not to go into that market as it is one of the biggest in the world. Is it not? any router that is compatible with ethernet or 802.11a/b/g will work with the 360 because these are international standards approved. The reason why the 360 does not work with certain routers are the security mechanisms that are in place inside these routers such as port forwarding that allow signals to go from specific ports on the 360 to the XBL servers.

Can you try bringing your xbox nearer to your router cause I have a notebook which detects full bar signal in the living room but cannot connect. If i bring it to the same room as the router, it connects with no problem. Strange but true

yeap that happens n u will get 169.x.x.x ip.
@keantan, he disabled his built-in firewall.
@kern, maybe u should try finding some firmware upgrades or something

Could be a firmware problem. Try updating the router's firmware.

dude....try to change the B/G channels with channels 1,6 or 11

To channel 11? Alright. For now,iam using channel 6. Will change soon.

hope fix it and manage to get ur ms point

Yeah hopefully. And if it works I'll contact u to give u the redeem code. But i will only confirm the settings on thursday. Hey by the way,iam using the lastest fw version for my router.

Hey guys, just found out with a US xbox 360 gamer that he had the same problem as me. He used homeplug ( Tmnet Streamyx offers this for RM188 ) and he said it works like a charm.

Should i buy this, or just buy a new router ??

that sounds good, no nid to buy new router also but u must have an extra wall socker near ur 360 la.

Un9ku, what if i use and put it on an extension wire? Will it work? Do i have to plug it to a wall socket near the 360? Can it be like 5 meters away?

How far it is depends on how good that device is from TMNet

zio, u familiar with homeplug? what if i use and put it on an extension wire?

I read about it before. Not sure about extension cords man...Dont even know how that thing works Call TMNet and ask?

But the 1 that tmnut offer, is the one that support only 10mb below. Damn slow for online games . I think best shot is to buy a new router and hopefully it works What router that's the best for the 360? Linksys?

So far i think Linksys seems to be the preferred choice

Can u tell me the model and the price pls?

^ As mentioned by un9ku that would be my model as well.

In using netgearWGR614 RM188 last time.. now sure cheaper...

Maybe iam buying Linksys WRT54gs. Btw, anybody using wireless/usb keyboard for their 360 ??

im not familiar with homeplug at all. but if keyboard, yep 360 supports usb keyboard, duno if wireless support or not. basically keyboard is good for typing n browsing thru the dashboard. if u wanna play games using keyboard + mouse, get xfps.

Dude, so if i buy a USB mouse. I can only play when in the dashboard,marketplace etc?

360 dont support mouse, must use xfps. but i think u better just use usb keyboard la to navigate the dashboard. forget bout the mouse or xfps. better yet, use the wireless controller lol. if wanna send msg, use the headset n talk some crap there

You play online? Whats ur gamertag?

my gamertag is unkoolisnotgaybutjaylike7is, or the simplified version: unkool

Added you.

I have a problem setting up the wireless connection on my XBOX 360 without using the original XBOX wireless network adapter. I just plug an extra wireless AP to the XBOX. System registered as a wired network connection but failed when it is checking for the IP address. My current network at my place is secured with password and i dont know how to access the ASDL router via XBOX.

Please help guys!!

no need 2 buy those expensive router, just get the aztech dsl605ew, the white one. Im using it, and it works like a charm

There's no way you can access the router via your xbox.
Use a pc.

Which means the only option i have is to buy the MS wireless network adapter to go wireless networking?
I saw a thread mentioning alternative wireless connection using wireless AP.
Again im in a secured network connection
