Try this. I unplugged my adaptor when my xbox was off then plugged it back in and turned on the xbox. It then prompted me "A network adaptor has been detected. Would you like to set it up?" So I set it up and it worked!
But my friend, try test your connections, and than if not connected a tip windows pop up and sad to you restart your computer! And baaaaaaang its work for me!
So before you open your dirty pice of ... mounth, try out the real solution, not open and screw ur box, and acessories
hey dumd ass why dont you just try to fucking test the fucking thing it will turn green while you are doind the fucking test oh hey dude fuck you xbox is way fucking better than ps3 and wii combinded if you dont like xbox why the fuck would you buy one
Before you do this, try unplugging the power cord when the xbox 360 is Off and replug the power cord all the way in. I was about to open the adapter but I found the solution on yahoo answers and it totally worked. BTW: My network adapter was lit solid red and the xbox wouldn't recognize it.
Great video. I'll agree, that thing is junk. I researched all kinds of different troubleshooting steps like clearing system cache and what have you. It would light up red occasionally, otherwise, it wouldn't light up at all. After all my troubleshooting steps failed, I came across the "Hard Tap Theory". I figured 'what the hell' because it wasn't working anyways. Sure enough, after the taps, I plugged it back in, and it worked perfectly the first time.
hey dude if u still got this problem go to systemsettings, network settings,your network , configure network , additional settings then restore to factory settings. try to connect and the wireless adapter should turn green
@pompeybrett1 yeah I tried that....I basically gave up. My xbox has RROD'd on me too many times so I went out and bought a new Xbox with the wireless and HDMI. My old Xbox never had HDMI
@Skavaen You gave your system no freaking breathing room, so no wonder you got RROD a lot. Wouldn't be surprised if your new one has issues at some point if it is cramped up like hell as well.
@IDikksonHD I tried all the fixes on youtube and it was nothing but a failboat. I ended up just using a laptop and sharing the internet through that. In the end you have to go out and buy a new device. When I cracked mine open to see its guts, I found no faults in the circuitry so I question of Microsoft has a ECM in the device to they can nuke them after a while and force you to waste more money on another one.
@Skavaen you know that i didnt believed that the wifi adapter has somthing that can make the device stop working, but i found by accident a Spanish documental that talks about the topic. the guy who did the documental says that Large Coporations ussually use smthing called (obsolencia progamada) Programmed obsolescence. basically they put a small chip on board that send a signal that indicate the device when it will stop working...
OK GUYS I HAVE THIS EXACT PROBLEM BUT I HAVE THE NEW UPDATE AND WHENEVER I GO TO NETWORK SETTINGS IT SAYS WIRED OR WIRELESS. I CHOOSE WIRELESS AND THE ADAPTER IS PLUGGED IN BUT IT SAYS THAT NOTHING IS PLUGGED IN. SUM1 PLZ HELP!!!!
So glad i got rid of my Xbox. There products are real pricey but very cheaply made and almost always break. Anyone looking to buy a new game system just get the PS3 i paid the same for my PS3 with 320 GB HDD, built in WiFi, the Move motion controller and free internet for life (its always free just stating a point) as someone would for the new Xbox with only 250 GB HDD, built in WiFi, the Kinect motion controller and only a year of gold subscription.
@Skavaen hey i work for xbox and to fix this issue you have to go to configure network go to advanced settings and click restore at the bootom of the advanced settings page then go back to configure network after that then set up ur connection to ur wireless connection and it shoul work and if not contact xbox from the phone and ask for me my name is donnovan jacobs.
@jrcfoxtrot13 I love that system. the controllers an be awkward at times but once you get used to it its fun. I bought that with about 20 games off of ebay for 35$
@bobbyewing311 nah...I had an old ASUS EEEPC kicking around that I installed windows xp on. I ended up using it to get online using the Ethernet from the EEEPC to connect to my xbox and the the wifi to connect back to my router. Turned on internet sharing and the problem was solved.
Hi. I got my Wireless Adaptor. Im plugging it into Xbox, red dot is steady. But i cant find Wireless Mode. It is not even showed in network settings...
@Sipso2008 hey bud i feel your pain one got one yesterday to and it did the same thing i called the xbox live service and went through all the steps and found out when it flash's red when you start it up it **** broke
@Sipso2008 if the red light is on on the adapter then its no good. The light should be green. If its red it will either show up and give some bogus IP or fail the network test like mine did or it will just not show up at all. In the end these adapters cost microsoft about 4 to 10 bux to build and they overcharge $100 to sell them. They are junk!
the same happened to me the other day. there was a 1 second power outage and i got the red rings of death...again. i turned it back on and it said cant connect so i looked at my adapter and it had the red light. i dont want to spend another $100 on a 2 inch adapter that doesnt even work. i also read that this guy bought i new 1 after this happening to him and that 1 didnt work either so he wasted $200
@canihave10thplz My fix was to use an old netbook as a wifi access point. It worked well. I am trying to find a compatible cheaper solution for the wifi. Seeing how the POS microsoft sells is a Realtek chipset, I am working with that chipset to come up with a more affordable way to get wifi to the xbox. Sure now Xbox Slim comes with Wifi, but I am not about to buy another console just for that feature.
I just threw mine in the freezer, somethimes they over heat, if you put it in the freezer for ten minutes (if any more, water might condense inside and short it out) it should work properly
I ended up having to chop through it with a serrated knife. Its not clipped or glued. The old xbox wireless adapters had plastic molded around them which is why microsoft didn't want us to open and service them. The other reason for this is probably the big dirty conexant chip sitting in it that shows that they don't trust their own wifi chipset.
I scored that off of ebay for 20 bux..came with 2 controlers and about 20 games. Looks like crap on the wide screen tv but its fun to play when you are in the mood for retro gaming.
i am going to buy one. I kept this shit for a long time. 5 years atleast. Time for a replacement!
