xbox network with airport extreme for dummies

    Hi guys,

    Just wondering if anyone can help me with the above. In this case I am the dummy and to be honest I havent a bloody clue about getting our xbox 360 to connect to our network. I have two younger brothers who know even less and hence I am the one who had ended up here trying to find a solution if one exists.

    As it stands we have an airport extreme as our router and our computers connect wirelessly to that. Least I think that is what we have done and it seems to work. However a few times I have tried to get the xbox to connect to the home network I have failed. The message on screen says, test failed, turn router off and wait 30 seconds, have you restarted your modem.

    I have inputted the WPA2 password in to the network settings etc and basically after that I am stumped. If anyone can give me any ideas what to do or where I might be going wrong it would be much appreciated. These lads are dying to give the xbox live a right go

    Cheers

    Michael

    I am not even sure I know how to reply to this! I did read on some thread on a google search that the airport and the xbox were not compatible. Is this still an issue I wonder? As for the firewall I swear to god I dont know how low is too low!

    Cheers for the reply forza

    some firewall's when you going in to fiddle with the options they might have a sliding scale like basically "high" "medium" and "low" - default is often high so could be the issue - but hard to say - check the links above googling "airport extreme and xbox live" has a lot of hits - with people who've had the problem so might be alot more help there.

    I don't think the Xbox360 supports WPA2, change the router to WPA and that should work.
