Re: [Xbox] Help! Cannot get wireless adaptor to work on xbox 360 elite

Dave here is the current 2nd screen. Do you need an additional screen shot of a different page?
 
I cannot see anywhere where there is a SSID.

Gotcha, that would be where we need a screen shot of that 3rd page in
the Router to see what the 2Wire's sending out (or not) and even another
shot of the 2nd page but I think that can wait until we see what the 3rd
says about what your Router's broadcasting. By default it should be
transmitting because you've had other wireless connections working
prior to this problem? But it never hurts to get a good peep! The SSID
on yours may be different than mine or the stock one because it's a
different model.
