xbox and the internet

[Scott™]

Lads the lappy is picking up my house internet (wireless) with no bother and signal strength is top notch.

Xbox won't pick it up at all?

Help please.

Re install your router.

Or use a wire

What Xbox we talking!?
Older with a Wireless adaptor, or a Slim?

Re install your router.

Re-install a router? How exactly?

 

[Scott™]

I have the adaptor, but I don't have the install disk....

 

[Toby]

Re-install a router? How exactly?

Turn it off then back on again

What sort of xbox is it?

 

[Scott™]

elite

 

[Toby]

New one with built in Wi-Fi or old with adapter?

 

[Scott™]

As said I have the adaptor but no install disk. I've never needed it until now..

 

[Toby]

Ahh right.

Didn't think you needed a disk?

Is there a light in it? Is it red or green?

 

[P17 TOO]

No disk needed...plug n' play!

 

[Scott™]

Hmmm well its not picking up any signal How do I configure my wireless or should the adaptor just be able to locate it automatically?

 

[Toby]

System Settings > Network Settings > Configure Network > Its should give you an option to scan?

 

[Scott™]

System settings > Network settings > scan = no networks found :S

 

[Toby]

Has your adaptor got a light on it?

Must be your Router playing up.

Tried the classic on/off?

If not then I'm stumped.

 

[.Kev.]

Red light when theres no signal, green when hooked up. On the Xbox dongle this is.

Is your router broadcasting its name? If not it may may not pick it up. Mine never used too.

Has it worked before? If so has anything changed since you last used it?

+1 to the light.

My old adaptor died for no apparent reason. I didnt even notice it had no light on! haha.

PS. I didnt know unplugging and rebooting a router constituted as a re-install .

 

[Scott™]

Stupid f**king thing. After unplugging the router, turning of the xbox 3/4 times it has now decided to work. Cheers lads.

Just turn things on and off and they work, tried and tested.

Glad you're back on-line.

 

[Scott™]

Yea to be fair I did it 3/4 times and only the last time it worked. Cheers for the help any how
