Xbox360 can't find my Wireless network! Help!

[buzz909]

Hi Yesterday I connected to and signed up for Xbox Live, using an official wireless adpator. However today when I tried it, it can't find the wireless network. The network is availalbe cos my Laptop is connected to it now. Does anyone know what I can do? My 360 is in the same location as yesterday.

Thank you

mine before i went wired would sometimes lose the router, turning xbox off, then the router off for 10 seconds, then xbox on would sort it, worth a try?

It's irrelevent that your laptop is connected to it, that doesn't mean it's "visible".

Could do with a little more information, are you using a wireless router etc? I'm assuming so as you say you are using the wireless adapter with the 360, you need to make sure in the router settings it is discoverable.

Which means if there's a question in the router setup "broadcast SSID" you want this to be "yes". If not, you have to know the SSID name and enter all the details manually rather than searching and autodetecting.

On one of my routers, it's always fine. On my other router it'll be fine for a while and then the next day not have a hope in hell of finding it. Stupid routers. I'm thinking of getting a cisco wireless AP just cos it will work and turning off the wireless on the router.

Are WPA-PSK networks visible to 360s? I understand that 360 wireless does not support WPA, so that could be it, perhaps.
