Hello,
I have a Xbox wireless N networking adapter which connects just fine through my Cisco dual band router
running in the 802.11g mode using 2.4GHz Wireless Settings. However, when I try connecting in the
802.11n mode, it will not connect using either 2.4GHz or 5GHz Wireless Settings. When I switch the
router from G to N the light on the adapter turns from green to solid red. I have tried reconfiguring
the console and network settings without success. I have tried an ad-hoc connection which offers A and
G modes, but 802.11n is greyed out and is not available as an option. I have a desktop and laptop which
both connect to the internet without problems no matter which settings that I configure them and the
router to use, so I figure there is not an issue with my wireless network. There must be some setting
in my configurations that I am overlooking or to which I am blinded. I would greatly appreciate any
suggestions offered.

After you run "Test Xbox LIVE connection" and click on "More info", what is the exact message shown on screen?
"Can't connect to your wireless network.
Your wireless network is secured with a WEP key or WPA passphrase.
Your console may be using the wrong one.
On your PC, go to the router configuration webpage and write down
your wireless network's WEP key or WPA passphrase.
You can find help about WEP and WPA at www.xbox.com/networkhelp.
In the list of available networks, press Y to disconnect, then select
your wireless network again and set it up using the correct key or
passphrase. Do you want to set up your network again?"
