Solved with Beta Code (see last post)
Starting a new thread to focus on xbox 360 wireless (with the xbox 360 wireless adapter) issue DIR-825 - B1 - 2.02NA
Old thread was: http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=6634.0

With DIR-825
When connected by ethernet (wired), ....everything works great.
With wireless, ...the xbox network test show that the xbox cannot communicate with my network.  (It's doesn't even get to the part where it tries to communicate with the internet, ...or 1 step further to xbox-live.)  The router does not issue an IP address to the XBOX. 

I have 8 other devices connected (3 wired, 4 wirelss 2.4GHz g only, and 1 wireless 5.0GHz a and n mixed).  The xbox can see both networks, ...I select the G with WEP and enter in the paraphrase, then try the "test connection" on the xbox.  No connection.  I look at the router to see if it's in the list, ...not in DHCP listing, not in LAN listing, ...and not in the Wireless connections.  Then I try the A with WPA and enter in the paraphrase, the try the "test connection" on the xbox.  Again, ..no connection to router. 

When connected wirelessly with my DGL-4300, ....everything works great.

a) SPI was enabled  --> I just now disabled it.
b) UDP endpoint was set to "Address Restricted"  --> I just now changed to "endpoint"
c) TCP endpoint was set to "Port and Address Restricted"  --> I just now changed to "endpoint"

I've rebooted the modem and the xbox, ...unfortunately still no connection.
It feels like the router doesn't see the XBOX, ...doesn't give it an IP address, ...etc.

I've tried to connect to either of the dual band networks.

For my 2.4GHz settings, ..I have now enable G and B.
In the advanced settings, I have now disabled WiFi protected setup.
Doesn't work....

For my 5.0GHz settings, ..I have enabled N and A.
I've changed to WPA only for security settings.
WIFI protected setup is still disabled.

How is the xbox connected wireless again? Is it going through a wireless bridge or do you have an wireless adapter? is so what adapter is?

Are you wireless channels locked or is it set to Auto?

I'm using the xbox wireless adapter.  Firmware - 4.3.19.1    Hardware version - A
Channels are set to Auto.

Note:  I tried to upload screen shots (as .jpg) of the configuration of my router, but it told me I didn't have write access.

Is there a way that I could extract and post my configuration settings easily (with some of the security items masked)?  This would be much easier (and you would probably be able to trouble shoot more quickly).

[BigBlueShock]

It's a known issue. I gave up after reading on other forums about bunches of other people having the same issue.  All we can do is wait for another firmware update.

The issue is: When using the official Xbox 360 wireless network adapter regardless of the 2.4ghz or 5ghz band, connecting to the router *instantly* fails while trying to get an IP address.  SSID shows up fine, but it's almost like the router dosen't even want to talk to the network adapter =/

-Even after doing a full xbox 360 reset and clearing out all the network settings, still dosen't fix it.
-Even completetly removed all security settings, and factory reset the router
-Just to test to see if it was the adapter, plugged in my old DI-624 and worked flawless.

[ChickenMan]

Noticed that the xbox 360 wireless adapter takes the exact same MAC address as the ethernet connection.  Is there a security setting with the dir-825 to prevent "others" from cloning the mac address and getting onto my network?

I tried manually setting the ip address on the xbox network config page (including the dns server, gateway etc....)   still no connection.

[luuk2k]

I have the exact same problem. My xbox only has this problem with the Microsoft XBOX360 adapter. My aftermarket Linksys adapter works fine on my network...

I have the exact same firmware, hardware revision, etc.

This is RIDICULOUS.

[Bashful]

Any word on this issue? I purchased a DIR-825 B1 and I'm encountering the exact same problem --- my xbox 360 with microsoft wireless adapter will receive an IP address when connecting to the DIR-825. However, pluging in a network cable, Live works just fine. The console also had no problems connecting to Live under my previous router.

I followed the guidance in this thread (and others on this forum) --- running 2.02NA, endpoints sets properly, etc, etc.

I realize that I could probably get this to work if purchased a DAP-1522 but since I have a perfectly functional wireless adapter, there's no way I'm going to spend money on that.

With firmware version 2.01EU those issues with Xbox 360 are fixed, but media center extender don't work because Xbox "doesn't see" other computers in LAN.

[Bashful]

With the assistance of some network engineers friends, I believe I found the root cause of the problem.

A friend (who recommended the DIR-825 to me) has an A1 DIR-825 that has no problems receiving connections from my Xbox 360 using the Microsoft Wireless adapter. My B1 DIR-825 still won't receive a connection from my Xbox 360.

We did some network captures of the handshake and we found an important difference in the way that the A1 and B1 DIR-825s broadcast the country code. The A1 reports itself as a 'US ' (yes, that's a space there) where the B1 device reports itself as a 'USI'.

Reading http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa503147.aspx, we see that the A1 is claiming that it is capable as operating as an 802.11 station in all environments in the US. The B1 hardware, however, is claiming that it is capable as operating an 802.11 station in indoor environments only in the US.

My suggestion is that D-Link engineers test a B1 DIR-825 with the country value set to 'US '. If it fixes the problem, then releasing a firmware where this value could be controlled would solve the issue.

Use a DAP-1522 in bridge mode using the 5 ghz band. You get "N" bandwidth. The xbox is a "G" device (and it doesn't work).

The result .... HD streaming from Netflix into my 1080i 60" Sony .... PRICELESS !!

Now if I could just stop my DIR-825 from "gutting" itself every hour. I just updated to dir825_revB_firmware_202NA and will see if that improves my situation.

Doc

dir825_revB_firmware_202NA is an absolute must to install available here ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/dir825_revB/Firmware/dir825_revB_firmware_202NA.zip.

My entire network was going down on an hourly basis using the Out Of the Box default stuff. My kid was complaing about the "lag" on his Xbox 360 games. I was ready to go buy yet another router.

Now with 202NA the network stays up (without Viagra) and the kid is super pleased with the new network latency (too bad he has to go back to school on Monday  LOL).

Same problems here, can't seem to find a solution B1 version, tried updating firmware but didn't make a difference. I can access internet through both my computer and my laptop, just the 360 is won't connect wirelessly

[abm100]

I have discovered the same issue with my Nintendo DS.  The router sees the DS and attempts to assign an IP address but something in the communication with the DS causes the DS to never receive the IP address.  It appears this problem is identical to what others are seeing with the 360.  I have a PS3 and it connects fine so far.  I have Rev. B hardware with 2.02NA firmware loaded.

I don't mind beta testing a fix.

My Wii connects OK using WPA2/AES to the 825 B1 using V2.02NA firmware.
