Xbox 360 does not connect to router

Xbox 360 does not connect to router - Person Holding Microsoft Xbox One Controller

So, I had to stop using my Wired Connection because my Wife wanted to have her PC upstairs tethered. So, I go into my Xbox 360 S, enter the info, enter the MAC address in my Router. Everything looks good, until it tries to test the connection. The password is incorrect. Both router and Xbox says this, yet I enter the same password on multiple devices without any problem. I also need to mention my router logs have it denying my Xbox, saying incorrect Security. So why is this happening, is it Xbox related?

Best Answer

I found out that while most places including here and everywhere on Xbox site where it tells you how to either connect wireless or finding your password on your router. Either way Xbox360 does support connecting to a wireless router using WPA2(AES). However, it is not an accepted algorithm. It will accept WEP or WPA with TPK. This is really a hit and miss issue.

Thanks to @Frank for troubleshooting the issue.

Why is my Ethernet not working Xbox 360?

Unplug the Ethernet cable from both the console and the networking device (your modem, router, or gateway). Use a different network cable to connect your console to the networking device. Test your connection again (Profile & system > Settings > General > Network settings > Test network connection).
