Question about
Airport Extreme Setup with an Xbox 360 (with Linksys WiFi game adapter)?
How do I configure an Airport Extreme with an Xbox 360 (with Linksys WiFi game adapter)? I had it setup and the router crashed and I can't seem to get it working again. I followed some instructions online the first time, but I can't seem to find them again.
The only way to configure any of Apple's wireless devices is using the "Airport Utility.app", which can be found in Applications > Utilities. Then you will probably need to enter the wifi passkey again in the Linksys. Considering your setup, I can only say that if you ran a network cable to your XBox, you would likely find XBox Live support greatly improved. Just sayin'.

If it is working with no security, but not with security, that is likely a compatibility issue between the adapter and the Airport. We get this on campus with some client devices occasionally. Apple's chipsets can be a real nuisance. Try setting the security to WPA and do not use special characters in the passkey. If that still doesn't work, try setting it to WEP instead. If neither of these works, then it must not be the usual issues and I'm not sure where the process is breaking down.

Sorry, I know how to configure it (i.e. using the Airport Utility.app). I am having trouble getting the xBox connected to it. I had it setup & working fine and it was reset from being abruptly shut off. It came back up and the setting were lost. I originally used some instructions online to get the xBox connected, but I can't find them again. I can get it working using the Guest Account feature with no security, but that is not a permeant solution. When I get it set back up again, I will export the setting this time.
