Wireless Gaming (linksys game adaptor)

sinjin_smythe

Hi ive had this Linksys gaming adaptor that ive used for my Xbox 360, but in order to use it ive always had to turn off my security settings (ie all my neighbours can use my bandwidth from my wireless router). According to the adaptor it has a type of security on it WEP but i cant seem to configure my router to those settings with my adaptor being detected. Does anyone have this, please help.

Any more details on what the problem is? Can you detail what steps you took and where it fails? I'd try updating firmware on router and driver for the adapter, just in case there's a bug etc.

Right this is really annoying especiallly because of the fact that ive got a friend 2 doors down telling me hes stealling my bandwidth ! .

Ok i go into my router settings i enter my 128 WEP Passphrase. then save my settings. Then the adaptor suddenly loses signal and have no wireless connection. Although i have configured the same passphrase on the adaptor settings it doesnt recognise it. This is really a problem that can only be answered if anyone else has the same router and adaptor. im just about ready to give up on it. If anyone has any other possible solution please tell me

Well reading thru the manual two things come to mind.
1) Are you selecting the correct profile on the adapter (P1,P2,P3)?
2) It allows you to enter a passphrase and it will generate the key for you. I'd type the key in myself and see if that works. Also make sure WEP is set to 128 and not 64bit.

Also sometimes it's easier to config the device thru the web config page rather than using the setup CD.

Yeah how would i know which profile to set it on? suppose ill just test each one and see if a signal appears. Thanks irlrobins

Cos you set each profile up? Mmmm, have you read the manual? It's all in there tbh.
