360 network connection issue

Hi all. Got a problem that nobody on the 360 forums can help me with.

I'm using a new Linkysy N Gaming router and everything is fine with other devices in my house.

Thing is, my 360 doesn't even "see" the network in it's list. It finds other networks in my neighborhood but not mine. Nothing.
Even if I enter the info manually, nothing.

I'm using the PSK2-Personal. Should I be using WAP instead? Does that matter to the 360 finding the network?

I have to use a neighbors wireless to play on Live and the connection is terrible. Mine *should* be great but it isn't even an option.
 
^^^ Not being able to access your own wifi is no excuse to break the law (unless of course you have your neighbors permission to access their network)
 
Do you have SSID broadcasting turned on? What wireless mode do you have your AP set to? B, G, N?
 
I'll check SSIS but the mode is set to "mixed".

coolie, no offense but how is that an issue for you? I simply stated that that's the only way I can access Live, I didn't say it was a permanent fix. If fact, I hate it but mine at the time, was inaccessible. Do you have any suggestions to the topic at hand or do you just want to discuss the legality of my problem solving?

Now, I disabled my own wireless security and the 360 finds the network just fine. Just not secured.
Problem is, I don't want to run my own network wide open.

Ideas?
 
having broadcast on and being wide open are two different things. You need to have broadcast on to be able to see the network with the 360. Use Wpa encryption pick a phrase and you will be fine security wise.

Best solution? Run an ethernet cable. Go through a wall if you must. 100 ft runs are cheap from some no-name cable website. But it eliminates problems such as thus, personally I dont use wireless when i don't have to
 
Like others have said, make sure your SSID broadcasting is on, and use WPA. Unless you're hooking up like a DS or something to it, there's not reason not to.

To repeat again: The 360 WiFi adapter does NOT support WPA2 security; it will, however, pick up any wireless device with WPA encryption.

This is why the 360 recognizes the router w/o security just fine.

Short answer: knock the security on the router down to something like WPA Personal and you'll be all set.

K, I should have clarified WPA Personal (that's what I use currently).
