Xbox 360 and wpa key

kaza

Hi,

Got a new xbox 360 for christmas, I am trying to connect via a wireless netgear router and its saying its the wrong wpa code.

Im pretty sure its right, however I cant log into the router via router log in to check it. I have tried using admin and password to log in - but I must have changed them ( dont know what to!)

Is there a way to find my wpa code without having to reset my router? as l really dont want to to do this.

Many thanks
Karen

i dont know of any way to find out the key other than start again with the router
its easy to reset it so you can setup the wpa key

Follow gaming guys suggestion first, if you cant login into the router then id suggest resetting it,

I am definately using the correct case, and admin and password are not working Ive just done it again using an ethernet cable but it didnt work.

I don't know all the details to enter back into the router if I reset it thats whats putting me off.

(is there any details I need to know before resetting it)

Thank you for taking the time to help me, I appreciate it

well as its a netgear (ive reset mine before) all you need to know is that username and password is admin password respectively then once logged into router go to something like wireless settings and enter a passphrase and chose what kind of security needed eg wpa, wep but do this whilst connected by ethernet to router

if unsure about anything let us know

if it's a sky -flashed netgear, the login is admin and sky, not admin and password...

the other things you need are the ISP logon details (username and password) to authenticate to your ISP, again unless it's a sky branded one, where they'll be embedded and a hard reset won't budge them

also, it sounds like you may have the wifi key set as WEP, not sure if 360 can handle WEP. Once you get into the router, check this and change it to WPA and pick a new key

Its not sky and I have wpa, Ive tried connecting wired with an ethernet cable from xbox to pc and it doesnt recieve an ip address, so I put it in manually and it still wont work?

I tried it with ethernet from xbox to router and the green lights on the xbox did go 1 stage further than on wireless, but then came up with

DNS server cant resolve the names of the xbox live servers.

Do you want to manually enter DNS- which is 192.168.0.1 I will see what happens if i put it in
Heeeelp!!!

Thanks
