    Hey,
    Just got the xbox wireless adaptor, and I'm having trouble getting my xbox to connect to my router. I'm using the bog standard one you get from Magnet. When I do a connection test in system, it stalls at the IP address and says "connection failed". Do I have to change any settings on the router, or put in any info through the system dashboard?
    Any help or advice appreciated!

    Are you sure that the security password you have on your routers wireless is input correctly into the 360? Does your router filter hardware addresses?

    I'm not sure of anything! I haven't a clue about any of this... worked fine when I was using a cable direct. How do I find this information? If I ring Magnet, will they have a clue what I'm talking about?

    On the bottom of the magnet router is the password you need for the WEP encription, IRC it is in bracket like this [2837636279]

    Once you have it right the wireless LED will come on and stay on. If it only lights up occationally then the WEP password is wrong.

    Thanks Greyarea,
    Do I put this code into the system area on the dashboard? The led light seems to be constantly on at the moment. I'll check this when I get home.

    I have a magnet modem but my 360 is wired so I cannot tell you where to put the key in the dashboard.

    Just look for somthing mentioning WEP / password / key in the dashboard.

    Later,

    In the network settings page on the 360 (On the system setup blade) did you scan for your network?

    I managed to get this working - had to ring Magnet for the WEP key.
    Thanks.

    Yeah i have the same problem with connecting a PSP and PS3 to a wireless MAGNET telsey router, I know the WEP key is correct but it still tells me the attempt to obtain the IP address timed out.
