We have the Thompson/Plusnet 585v8 router with 8.2.7.8 firmware.
2 older style 360's which have been using the white/cream G rated WiFi adapter fine.
The other day I thought I'd upgrade and get the black WiFi adapter which is n rated, seeing as the router is n spec.
The xbox(s) will connect to the WiFi fine but will not get out to internet/xbox live when on "n"
If I set touter to g or b/g it works fine.
I know that the "n" works fine as I have tried a 360 S on there and thats cool, it connects to wifi and net/live on "n"
So is it the black wifi adapter that is faulty or is it that the router has compatibility issues?
Before you ask have deleted and recreated wifi details in all xboxes/reset etc etc...

IEEE 802.11b/g/n 1x1 access point
If it wasn' t then the option wouldn't be in the router setup or the WiFi devices would attach on n would they?

Already tried it on 2 different "older" 360s (Currently have 3 xBoxen in the house as I bought a new shiney S with chrimbo money, so one of the old ones will be on ebay soon)
Same result.
Only thing I haven't tried is use the black WiFI adapter on a different N rated router -- which I ain't got to hand.
I did ONCE manage to get it to connect to LIVE on "n" but that was done by hot swapping the adapters on one of the xboxes. Not a reliable method and my kids can't be expected to do that.
I'm 50/50 whether its the adapter or the router.... will ahve to find some one with a N rated router nearby to test.

All the "g" rated stuff works fine, and the black MS 360 adapter works fin on G too.. just not N.
Although might drop it down to WEP and see what happens, if that works then it's sure to be the router.
...unless there is somethign I'm missing.
