Re: 360 Wireless Adapter Trouble
Okay, I've been having this problem ever since I bought the (huge ripoff) Wireless Adapter over a month and a half ago. I was using the old Xbox wireless adapter (connected through ethernet port instead of the USB that the new adapter uses) under a WEP security and that works fine. Upgraded my wireless network to N and my D-Link router forces me into WPA security to use the N signal. Operating in mixed mode, everything else connects fine to the wireless network. Talked to Microsoft, tried two different 360 Wireless adapters, neither worked. SENT 360 TO MICROSOFT, got it back today (replacement 360 btw) and STILL doesn't work. The kicker is that when I set my router back to WEP in 802g, plug in the old Xbox adapter, works fine, but I can't operate in 802n with WEP security (is that blanket or just D-Link routers???). An ethernet connection works fine on the new 360 and worked on the old one, so the 360->ethernet cable -> laptop might work, but that is really lame that this product would be such a problem. Google turns up many other articles on this same issue, you think Microsoft would at least have some kind of answer to it at this point. Running on a D-Link DIR-655 router. This is frustrating me to the point of possibly selling my Xbox if Microsoft seriously doesn't have their act together to the point that they have no answers or possible suggestions as to the problem here. My guess is the router, but support from Microsoft has been dismal. I work as a game tester and personally loathe the PS3, but at least it has built-in wireless that doesn't cost an extra $99 + Xbox Live costs.
BTW, any help would be hugely appreciated.
