No matter what I try, I cannot get the DIR-655 to connect to my Xbox 360 Wireless N Adapter with N, only connects with G. If I use N only mode, it won't connect at all, even if I manually input the settings. Setting the security to WPA2 Only and setting the Cipher Type to AES doesn't work.
Hardware Version : A3
Firmware Version : 1.35NA
802.11 Mode : Mixed 802.11n and 802.11g
Enable Auto Channel Scan : Checked
Transmission Rate : Best (automatic)
Channel Width : Auto 20/40
Visibility Status : Visible
Security Mode : WPA-Personal
WPA Mode : Auto (WPA or WPA2)
Cipher Type : TKOP and AES

Have you tried setting Single Mode N on the 655 router?

Have you tried setting Single Mode N on the 655 router?
Yes I have. The Xbox won't connect at all when I do that.

Do you have a new xbox Slim or the 1st gen xbox with a wireless adapter? I have heard of some xbox slims having some wireless connection issues on N.
-
I have the Xbox 360 Elite.
-
I presume it's the older generation xbox elite then with the USB wireless adapter that you plug in?
-
Yeah.
-
What happens if you set WiFi mode for Single N only mode? Will it connect?
-
Nope.
-
Do other devices connect with using Single Mode N?
I've heard that some xbox WiFi adapters don't work well out of the box.
I would test the adapter at a friends house with other WiFi to see if your adapter works else where or take it back and get another adapter.

I "Think" you MUST have the router Cipher type set to ONLY use AES in order to get .11N speeds.
Something about TKIP interferes with .11N but don't ask me why that is.... I am only going by my own experiences here setting up my 655 to achieve .11N speeds.

I tried that and I didn't work either lol

If other devices are connecting in Single mode N and the xbox adapter isn't, then I would presume that this device is defective.

Yeah, It probably is. But, do you know any third party adapters that would work using Wireless N?
Thanks for the help btw!

Not sure if there are any 3rd party WiFi adapters for Xbox as MS likes to keep that system pretty closed off to 3rd party anything. >:(
I have the xbox N adapter that I bought at Best Best last year and it worked great on a WNDR3700 set up or AP connected to a DIR-628 using DSL. I was at my families place for the holidays and took my xbox with me. I didn't know if the 628 would work well for gaming so I took my spare 3700 and set it up for AP and N mode only. Gaming was pretty good.
I would try another adapter if your really want to game over WiFi. I recommend wired though. ;)

I have been using the Trend NEt Gaming adapter TEW-647GA (if thats exactly correct??) quite well.... Its actually a wireless bridge, but they call it a gaming adapter.... I have two of them here...one to a PC and one to my Xbox360.
You set it up first on your PC....IP addy and such....Wireless encryption and cipher....
Once set up, you move it over to your device (XBox 360 in my case) and plug in the ethernet cable to the Xbox, and the unit's power cord... I also chose to set up a manual IP address in my XBox...
They sell a newer version that comes with 4 ethernet ports instead of just one....but I only have the single port model. I get 300 Mbps connections using my DIR-655 and the gaming adapters....
Here is the Newegg link...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833156307 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833156307) 4-Port version Only $29 now... I just ordered one for myself...
I got mine (single port) on sale for like $29....but that was a while ago....even at current price, its half the cost of the microsoft wireless N unit...

Good info Sammy. Which reminds me that a couple of guys on the DGL-4500 forum are talking about it. Maybe you two can review there posts and make contact there too. Any information is good.

I have the TEW-647 as well I used it for my PS3 before I wired it and it worked great.
It was really easy to set up and I didn't run into any issues. Great bridge for the price and small at that.

Wow I have the EXACT same setup and I also can't get the Xbox to connect in 'N' mode. At best, I can only get the Xbox to connect at 'G' but that's only if I have the DIR-655 router set to G&N mode.
I'm currently using Firmware Version : 2.00NA , Wed, 12, May, 2010
Somebody please PLEASE help!
I really don't want to have to buy something else as a solution to this problem.
Thanks for the space.

Airbrat,
Do you get any other devices to connect
At N speeds ?
Have you followed the 300 Mbps Stickie ?
Are there any specific settings for theXbox wireless
to achieve N speeds ?
-
What wireless modes are you using?
Try single mode G or mixed G and N?
What security mode are you using? WEP, WPA or WPA2? Preferred is WPA Personal. Auto TPIK and AES.
The xbox should see both G and N modes if your router is set up on mixed mode.
What xbox do you have, 1st generation or slim? Seen some reports that wireless adapters for both don't work as designed.
