So I setup the WGA600N with my network thou the setup CD. I then move it down to my room and connect it to my XBOX360, and I can seem to figure out how to get the 360 to reconize the network. It sees the WGA as a wireless bridge, but it does not get an IP. Before using the WGA i was able to connect fine with a G-signal using the micrsoft wireless adapter.

 

Im using a WRT-300N as a router

and the WGA600N to transmit the N signal.

 

any help would be apreciated.

Disable all firewall on the computer ....

Try this link  ......

I can't get mine working with the 360 either.  Tech support showed me how to get into setup manually with web browser, sorry don't recall the ip address right now but I have it at home (it's a very strange ip address to my eyes).  DHCP is disabled by default in this device.......go figure.  DHCP is what allows the device to get ip address assignments from the router.  The one time I tried turning it on I could suddenly no longer access the device from the web browser (i.e it seemed to have switched ip addresses or something).  Linkysys support gave me the settings to setup a static IP in windows on the machine and then I could get into the settings again.  And before you ask I did update the firmware on it, after three hours on the phone with support and being cut off three times I used the live chat on their support site and we got it to the point where another computer could get to the internet through it but it says limited connectivity in the task tray (i.e. probably because DHCP is off).  The setup software is a joke if you ask me and should have a manual setup button like belkin includes in theirs.  I think this thing is just way far from ready to be released.  I have chatted with a guy on the netgear site (I have the new netgear dualband) who says he's got two working with his router but so far I'm not getting far and I think the problem with the 360 is primarily that DHCP is off in the gadget and I don't know if assigning an IP address manually in the xbox is going to fix the problem or not, I'm shy of turning it on again in case it screws up the ability to access the setup again like it did before but I'm really thinking that the problem with the 360 is that DHCP has got to be on for it to work.

Well tonight the networking lord finally chose to smile upon me, I finally have this thing working with my 360.  I will share my settings here in the hope it helps someone else.

 

Router: Netgear dual band N WNDR3300

settings in router: up to 270 mbps 5 ghz and 54 mbps 2.4ghz

NAT is set to open (microsoft will tell you xbox very picky about NAT, if you don't have separate settings in your router setup you may have to setup a DMZ where the firewall doesn't take effect for your xbox's ip address)

11N channel 157

11G channel 10/2.457

 

settings in the WGA600N

The ip address for manual setup is 192.168.1.250 if you cannot get in with this typed in your browser window you have to setup a static ip on your machine.  To do this you go to your adapter on the computer you have the gaming device connected to and put this information in the tcp/ip properties:

 

IP Address:192.168.1.20

Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0

Default Gateway:192.168.1.250

 

You most likely need to reboot to get this to work, so reboot then go to your browser window and you should then be able to get into the gaming adapter setup.  default password is admin, top box is blank.

 

First thing to do if you haven't already gotten that far is update the firmware to the December 2007 that you can get on linksy site.  Don't get confused because the firmware number in the corner doesn't change (they don't have enough decimals) it changed because there is one screen where the date is given (make sure it says december after the update).

 

The solution at least in my case was not DHCP (although I don't get why) I have found that turning that on makes it all go south so leave it off which is the default.  The settings in the static IP window are:

 

IP Address: 192.168.1.250

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1

 

Other settings:

For my non linksys router I turned off the following options:

WISH: inactive

Wifi Protected Setup: Disabled

Security: Disabled (I don't mess with it so if you need security I wish you good luck)

 

Unit is set as "wireless bridge"

I really believe that the change I made to get it work was with the radio type settings: I changed it from the default to "Mixed 802.11na, 802.11a, 802.11g"

Transmission: I left at default "Best Auto"

Channel Width: 20/40

 

Advanced wireless settings make sure you match the channels if you can of your router so mines at 157 and I make sure it says 157 in the adapter.

 

You must properly input the ssid of the network you want the adapter to connect to in here, I believe there's supposed to be some way to choose in here but I just typed the network name into it and it associated to it that way.  Everything working now, lots of signal, I've played a couple of live games no lag, I suppose the test should be booting up something like halo 3 or gears of war to see how it handles it, no mbps readout that I can find in the xbox setup.  Still fighting with my other computer in the same room to see what it can do with it. 

 

I hope this helps someone and if the powers in here can put this up as some sort of sticky I hope they'll do so.
