Son has just purchased an x-box.Having plugged the very expensive wireless adaptor in, he is unable to pick up the internet !We can see our neighbours networks (they are protected!) but not ours.The router works with laptops and the PS3.

Anyone any ideas ?

Thanks.

Dont you need to wire it up through ethernet first, then pick it up on the wireless after?

Nope should just detect it unless he's been around all his neighbours plugging it in.

Check that your router has the latest firmware. My wii wouldn't work my my current router until I did the update.

there is a security setting about not broadcasting as available on the router, might be worth turning off security for a few mins then hooking up for first time.

The most likely issue is that you've turned on some sort of security on your router. Maybe you're not broadcasting the router address or you've restricted connection to certain (known) MACs.
