Xbox Wireless Adapter registers itself as an Ethernet adapter

Are you not able to run an ethernet cable from you wireless adapter to your xbox? You said you are using a usb adapter with a usb cable. I don't believe that will work (if I'm understanding what you said). If you have a wireless adapter that has an ethernet connection, you can run an ethernet cable from the adapter to the xbox.

I have used a wireless adapter to connect my xbox for years without no issue. What I use has an ethernet connection on the adapter and then I run an ethernet cable to my xbox.

This is what I'm using:

My Xbox connects through the wireless adapter. It's connected to the adapter with an ethernet cable.

Hi,

This won't be an Xbox problem it will be the setup of your third party adapter and it talking (or not) to your new router, if you connect a PC to the adapter you will probably had the same issue

How do I determine which MAC I need? Because ipconfig /all gives a bunch of different physical addresses and I'm not sure which one to pick. I connect to the school's internet via WiFi, not Ethernet. Not sure which physical address/MAC is the correct one.

The options I have are: Wireless LAN adapter Local Area Connection* 12, Ethernet adapter Bluetooth Network Connection, Wireless LAN adapter WiFi (I think it's this one), Ethernet adapter Ethernet, Tunnel adapter 6TO4 Adapter, Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection*
2, Tunnel adapter isatap.wireless.umass.edu...

I'm pretty sure it's the Wireless LAN adapter WiFi but I'm not sure. Thank you guys for the response. Keep the help coming!

Well I have the latest XBOX and router firmware and I have a datel wireless adapter for xbox and a wireless to ethernet adapter for xbox. Both work because I have tested them on my laptop. Also my router is not on the not supported list.

I think the problem is that my router does not work with my xbox. I have run my xbox through my laptop to wireless and it works fine. The only difference between the setup i used for my laptop to wireless and my wireless ethernet adapter is that the adapter
takes on the name of the device it is connected to.

I know this sounds stupid but my xbox does not come up as a device on my router (ie it has no name) this could mean something.

Also my router firewall has been detecting port scanner attacks at the same time as I am testing XBOX live on my xbox when I had it connected to my wireless adapter or wireless ethernet adapter but not my laptop.
