HERE IS HOW YOU GET THE CD TO READ:

1. Turn on the xbox and insert the cd
2. Go to the System Settings > Console Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Startup [Then Select: DISC]
3. Turn off the xbox
4. Turn on the xbox
4. It will do some updates then plug in the Network Adapter

The instructions are terrible. But this worked for me after cursing microsoft for 8 min and then figuring it out. No secret code entry necessary.

Forget the disk i just spent hours dealing with this crap…. If you had the original adapter and have updated LIVE this FALL then you have what you need. My problem was that the N Adapter would only connect at G speed and say G in the Network configuration slide on XBOX … restore the network settings to Deafault…. Then all I had to do was ensure that my router was using WPA2 for security and make sure the FIRMWARE was up to date…… and even with my router broadcasting a mixed signal B/G/N the XBOX chose the N and now says connected 802.11n!! Also there are specific fixes for certain routers that wont recognize the XBOX wirelessly..I suggest going to their Brand websites and getting the details there…. hope this helps somebody

if the installation disc doesn’t run and if u read the instructions on the front of the CD case and read #5 its says if no instructions are displayed ( the cd doesnt load to give instructions) that means ur system is up to date. i called them today and found that out cuz i had confusion on it. but if the installion cd doesnt load just says mixed media disc u dont need to install the cd. just set up the wireless adapter and ur good to go. hope this helps

Quick question guys… First off i think everyone has an issue with this new adaptor/disc.

I recieved an elite for xmas… but just today went down and bought the new n adaptor, and a new n router.

Still can’t seem to get disc to load.

Was gonna ask… if I just use a cable and connect my xbox to it… can I then run the updates to get the adaptor to work via just internet update.

I mean is that update still even available? This xbox has never been hooked up to internet… so in theory can’t i just get the most recent drver update just by using an ethernet cable connection?

Or am I just stuck with this hassle until i figure out how to load the disc.

Please reply

The xbox adaptor was recognised on the network but I couldn’t get it connected to the internet as the router wouldn’t automatically assign an ip address although all the router settings were correct. I tried to do this manually, again without success. I had the same problem when I tried a wired connection!
More through luck and as a last resort I reset the settings back to the factory settings and it picked up the connection right away and I got connected to XBox Live. Talk about frustration!!!!!

I Found If you set the xbox to run disk on start up and have the wirless plugged in when you reset it runs the update program and all is good!!!
