nevins Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Turn on the console and navigate to the wireless settings screen. On the Xbox, the menu path is "Settings -> Network Settings -> Advanced -> Wireless -> Settings" On the Xbox 360, the menu path is "System -> Network Settings -> Edit Settings." Set the SSID (network name) on the Xbox to match that of the wireless router. If your wireless router has enabled SSID broadcast, the SSID name should appear pre-selected on the Xbox display. Otherwise, select the "Specify Unlisted Network" option and enter the SSID there. Specify "Infrastructure" as the Network Mode. (Infrastructure is the mode used by wireless routers.) Set the Security Type to match that of the wireless router. If your router uses WPA encryption and the type of adapter connected to the Xbox does not support WPA, you will need to change your router settings to use WEP encryption instead. Note that the standard Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter supports WPA while the standard Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter (MN-740) only supports WEP. Then save it.

JS2004 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 When I set my Xbox up I completely forgot that my router has a MAC Address list - and unless the MAC Address of the network device was entered it simply wouldnt allow it to connect. This could be the case if the above guide by Nevins doesnt get it sorted. Sounds like your wireless network was set up by someone for you?

bluecoup Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 mmm i heard the xbox wireless is not the strongest, can you not take it downstairs and try it there ? should be the code you need to enter on the wireless router somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 i was going to try and put the modem upstairs and try that tonight see if it picks something up. i just cant understand why im not getting the wireless mode part in the basic settings because from there its easy, i have put the disc in which i got with the xbox adaptor but nothing happens, they say if nothing happens i already have the update done at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 So when you click scan for networks, it can't find it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
