Trying to hook up xbox 360 for first time. Always fails when trying to connect to wireless. Asks for WEP key and I input the password that has hooked up countless devices to it and it fails. I think it is WPA password for the wireless router. Any advice? Thanks.

G'day Gravy! Is the error specifically pointing out an incorrect password? If so, can you try changing your wireless password and enter the new one?

The password is correct. I have phones, laptops, kindles, etc all hooked to the wireless using the password that I try on the X box. Works for everything but the x box.

Greetings Advanced!
Appreciate if you could post up the make and model of your router and your modem as well (if this is not a single device). Also, state whether you have the white or black external wireless network adapter or the built-in (Xbox 360S/E).
Which security method have you configured for your router (WEP, WPA-SPK, WPA2-PSK with AES encryption)?
Make sure WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is diabled and that you have manually configuerd wireless setting for your router.

...WPA2-AES security

If you are using WPA2-AES then I wonder why the Xbox is complaining about a WEP password.
Can you (just for testing purposes) disable the WLAN encryption temporarily and try to connect your console? Also make sure you change the SSID to something personal (maybe the Router was set up by AT&T with a default name, that is the same for everyone, and
a neighbour set up a WLAN with the same SSID?)
If the console is able to connect without encryption to your WLAN, set up WPA2 encryption again. When choosing a password, make sure you use characters from the standard ASCII range, meaning you should avoid overly special characters like Umlauts or accented
characters, as these can lead to problems. Try a "simpler" passphrase first with only upper and lowercase letters from the standard alphabet and numbers. Then (if desired, but also recommended) make the password more complex by using special characters like
punctuation or symbols like #%! etc... See if the Xbox is still able to connect.

This is a known issue with the B90-755025-15, to recognize WPA2-PSK or mixed mode WPA/WPA2.
Change the security method to WPA-PSK (not mixed mode) to resolve this issue.
Post back and let us know how that goes.
