Home Hub 3 (type A) compatibility with Xbox Live a...

Just got a new Bt Broadband activated a couple of days ago.
All set up nice, getitng a 8mb download speed which is good for our area.
2 laptops, 1 PC, and a wireless printer all set up using wifi. All good.
Even managed to get Xbox Live connected via wifi.
BUT - when updating any software or games on the XBOX, what used to take seconds is now taking hours!
I even tried my old Dlink router on the new BT Broadband, and it all works fine, but as soon as my Home Hub 3 (type A) is connected, the software updates to the xbox take an age.
All other connections seem fine.
Is it true that Home Hub 3 type 'B' is the best one for using with Xbox Live?
If anyone's had this exact same issue, and managed to solve it - please tell me how.
Thanks

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Seems to be the same.
The only thing worse (so far) is the BT customer services team. I spent over 3 hours on the phone with various people from BT yesterday. Only when I threatened to cancel the contract did anyone take me seriously.
I really wish I'd stayed with my previous broadband provider.
What I'd like to know is how to resolve this issue - preferably from someone who's had similar experience to mine. I'm not going to go through a troubleshooting process yet again. My HomeHub 3A is simply not compatible with connecting wirelessly with any significant speed to my xbox, nor to my android mobile phone.
I have run every possible check on our line and home network.
The only variable that causes this problem to re-emerge is the Home Hub 3 (type A) which I was sent 2 days ago.

Home Hub Type A Or B

hi all can somebody tell me the differance between the home hub type a and b,i currently have the type a ,and im thinking of getting a type b,because ive heard there much better for online gaming,can someone tell me if this is the case

Hi there,
The type A hubs (of which there were two types with different internals) have something of a reputation for being pretty poor for gaming. The type B hubs have a differnet circuit board to the A types and the firmware is also different.
Not being an avid gamer myself I can't offer first hand advice, but there have been noticeably fewer complaints on the forum since it was introduced.

Problems with Xbox live & WRT120N.

Post-script: I've already read just about every thread having to do with Xbox live. None helped me at all.
Well, I just got a WRT120N router recently and I love it. It's fast, and the WiFi range is phenomenal.
Bt, Xbox live doesn't work. I just CAN'T connect. Plain and simple. I get no error message or reason,
just suggestions that don't work. I've probably reset my router/modem 20 times today. No joke.
I've got one of those Wireless N Network adapters for my 360. With my old connection, I could connect.
It was slow, and it sucked, but I could still connect. I don't know what the problem is. My laptop
picks up the internet and I ALWAYS have a full connection anywhere in the house. The wired computers work great,
What do I do? If there are any questions or suggestions for me, go on ahead. I'll do whatever it takes to get this working.

Try this..
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click Save Settings...
Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done...
2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
3)Click on the Status tab and take note of DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses...
4) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your XboxIP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox
Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox...
6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...

Home Hub Type A new firmware

I note the following message posted by Admin:
Home Hub 3A firmware version 4.7.5.1.83.8.94.1.11 is being rolled out gradually, we started last week. This firmware includes bug fixes for the following issues that have been raised on the forum over the last few months (and longer):
Bug fixes for loopback functionality
Fix for dual boot Windows and Linux Ubuntu machines where previously it wasn't possible to obtain an Internet connection if you switched to Linux OS
Optimisation of Smart Wireless
You'll most likely receive the update before the end of January but we're taking our time with the rollout so it goes smoothly, fibre hubs will be first followed by adsl. We'll come back and update you if it's going to take longer to get everyone's 3A updated.
Whilst any improvements to functionality are welcome, I note that there is no mention of a) correction of the 'time bug', which of course has temporarily gone away since the clocks went went back in October; or b) any corrective action in relation to the mystery of the internittent slow speeds through the Type A's LAN ports i.e. wired speed dropping below 10mbps requiring a hub reset to restore. Any information in respect of these two bugs would be welcome especially the LAN speed issue which appears may be a hardware fault requiring a change to a type B hub!

this post by Stephanie confirms that 10mb problem will be fixed in update - although not mentioned in Stephanie's upgrade post

Problems With Xbox live "conection Interupted" HELP

I have a Xbox 360, and have just recently got internet. Its cable internet from comcast, im using a RCA modem, and a Linksys WRT16010 V3 router. Hooked into my router(wired) i have my bluray player, and my Xbox 360; while my computer uses it wirelessly. The problem is whille on Xbox live, playing CODWAW the screen will "jump" and then flash "connection interupted" then kick me off!!! When i set up my xbox i just used the prompts it gave me on the screen. I have tried exchanging the router, called the internet provider and it tested fine. This will happen any time of day even when my computer or bluray player is not on. Is there something i should set up with the router, or my xbox?? please help, for this is very frustrating.

To make your XBOX work perfectly fine with your Router, you need to make certain changes on your router. Follow the settings below :
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...
Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click Save Settings...
Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done...
2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
3)Click on the Status tab and take note of DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses...
4) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox , IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox , Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox...
6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...
Now re-connect your XBOX to your Wireless Network again and i think it should work perfectly fine.

Airport extreme not compatible with xbox live?

Hello,
Ive had this problem for a long while now and are getting desperate. Basically when i go on xbox live the connection is really really bad. It's not all the time, rarely it will work fine but most of the time the connection is awful.
I know the problem isn't because of the location of the xbox since, the connection is strong in my laptop in that room and we have also used a wifi signal analyzer in the room aswell. It's not because of where i live since i have a friend across the road who's xbox connection works fine. We also have an xbox dowstairs much closer to the router which also has the same problem. Im almost convinced its because of the aiport extreme.
We have an aiport extreme which acts as the router and a netgear which is the modem. The airport extreme has to be in bridge mode or else i get a double nat problem. I think its something to do with the airport extreme and netgear conflicting, if they where i have no idea how to solve it or even if thats the case.
We tried taking the airport extreme out of bridge mode and then turning nat off on the netgear but then we couldn't connect to the internet at all.
Please help me, i really need this problem solved. Its really starting to annoy me.
Thankyou

Im almost convinced its because of the aiport extreme.
Unfortunately, the key issue here may be that the AirPort Extreme is not on the Xbox list of "compatible" routers.
Xbox LIVE Compatible Hardware - Xbox.com
I know of no way to change that fact.
We have an aiport extreme which acts as the router and a netgear which is the modem.
You do not have a Netgear modem, you have a Netgear modem/router or gateway. That is why the AirPort must be in Bridge Mode. In Bridge Mode, the AirPort is not acting as a router, it simply passes through the network information from the Netgear gateway.
If you want the AirPort to act as the main router for the network, then the Netgear device must act as a pure, Bridge Mode modem. Netgear support may be able to tell you if it is possible to configure the device that way.
But, even if it is possible to configure the Netgear this way and the AirPort as the main router, the fact still remains that the AirPort is not listed as being "compatible" with Xbox, so there are no guarantees that this will help.

BT Yahoo Compatibility with Windows Live Mail

Hi Everyone,
I have two computers (Laptop - Vista [32], and my desktop Windows 7 [64 bit]) and I have been using Windows Live Mail (Part of Windows Essentials) for many years!
Until recently, I have not experienced any problems downloading my e-mail messages; problems, only started to occur when I transferred from Talktalk, to BT Infinity!
Regularly since the transfer, whenever I send/receive, I get a messages, advising, either
"enter your password",
or
"incorrect password user name"
I have 5 e-mail accounts, and frequently, I get these message for all 5 of these accounts!
Two things, I find interesting, are that when this problem occurs:
(1)        It occurs, simultaneously, with both the laptop, and my desktop! (I have switched, each of in turn, to rule out mutual interference)!
(2)        I get a message, several minutes later, from the BT software "BT Broadband Desktop Help", advising "An E-mail Issue Detected" and I am given the option to FIX! If I choose this option, a report comes up, advising that there are no BT accounts on this computer!
Today, for example, I found that I could not download messages, for some 3 hours, continuously!
However, I found that I could log in to BT Yahoo, and see my messages, on line! (Same e-mail address and passwords)
Several times, I have contacted BT, and each time, let them take control of my PC, to investigate. Every time, they have played around, and established that everything is in order!
Today, I again contacted BT, and again, they checked everything out, and verified everything was in order, and they verified that my messages could not be downloaded!
At no time, would the BT specialist admit, that the problem could be at the BT end.
I suspect that with BT Infinity, which is very fast, that my interrogation(Send/Receive) is too fast for their mail account to respond, when the network is busy!
The BT representative, today, admitted that he had tried everything he knew, and therefore was not able to help further; if I wanted further technical assistance, I would have to pay for it!
Given that on many occasions:
(1)          I do not have a problem downloading my messages!
(2)          When I do have a problem, it occurs on two computers (including (2) above)
I can only conclude that the problem is at the BT end (My broadband connection is perfect), and that the BT software "BT Broadband Desktop Help, is a bag of nails!
I would interested in any comments, especially from BT

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
There is actually no compatibility problems with Windows Live Mail, and actually the speed of your connection isn't too fast for the mail servers.
However a couple of months ago or slightly more, there were serious email access issues affecting pop3 client program such as WLM (and all the others like Outlook, Thunderbird etc). As you've noticed, it did not affect access via webmail (logging in via BTYahoo!).
The problem seems to have resurfaced over the past couple of days for some (I have seen the problem), so it's a server issue and not an end user one.
You may like to try altering the mail server addresses in WLM as indicated in my shortcuts option 0d/h (see link below). That has fixed it for many people. (Accounts/Properties/Servers tab - Incoming mail/Outgoing mail, alter both these and the Email username should be the full email address). It is easy to alter back, and only the servers need changing.

Are there any license issues with installing Office 2013 Home and Business on Server 2012 R2 operating system?
I am having inconsistent issues installing this software on a server running this operating system. The Office software is not being acccesed by client workstations. Its a stand alone software installation for the server. Are there any

Microsoft website states Office 2013 Home and Business is compatible with Server 2012 but doesnt include the an R2 version reference.

Hi,
Please note only Volume Licensing editions of Office may be used on RDS host server. Since Home and Business is a Retail edition, it's not suitable/permitted if you are using RDS.

HOME HUB - EVENT LOG - Help with translation pleas...

Have just found the event log on the Home Hub and am trying to uderstand what it is telling me. For today, there are many similar entries such as copied below;

WRT350N compatibility with XBox 360 wireless adapter

I just installed a new WRT350N - all my computers connect just fine - my XBox wireless adapter will not connect. Is there a compatibility issue?

Make sure that your wireless security is not set to WPA2. The XBOX 360 wireless adapter does not support it. You need to use WPA or WEP.

No compatibility with WIndows Live Mail?

Why is only Outlook allowed? I will not pay to use Outlook Express. Windows Live Mail is a free mail service by Microsoft. It should be compatibile!!!

Using iPhone 3GS I am able to sync contacts from the phone to Windows 7 contact list, and then to import that contact list into Windows Live Mail 2011.
I had to call Apple tech support for help to do it. They had to get a senior level tech support person to help me through it but he did and it most definitely is possible. If you lose a hard drive but your entire address book is on your iPhone you can upload that entire address book to iCloud using iTunes sync ( you will want senior tech support help for this) and then they can assist you to download it off the cloud and onto your Windows 7 PC contact list. You can then open WLM2011 and import the contact list from the Windows 7 contact list. There is an import button for addresses.You will have to find it or get Apple support to give you hints on where to find it. Some of their people are very Windows 7 savvy and know how to work WLive Mail 2011.

Xbox One and xbox 360 on the same Home Hub 4

I currently have an xbox one and 360 directly connected to a Home Hub 4 (with different internal static IP addresses allocated to the xbox units). I want to configure port forwarding on the Hub to enable access to xbox live and other gaming services.
I have created the game profiles one the hub and can allocate to one of the devices, but when I try to allocate (either the same or another profile), I get a conflict error.
I understand why this is happening and was wondering if there was a simple way to resolve this (without giving both xboxs the same IP address, and only having one online at any given time)?
Many thanks
Ian

Hi there,
If you are using UPnP, then you will need to use what's known as "Port Range Triggering".
You can't use "Port Range Forwarding" as the limitation of this is that it expects the ports to be directed to one internal IP address.
The ports you need to forward are as follows:
53, 88, 80 and 3074.
Disable DMZ (should be disabled by default on the Home Hub 4, but double-check) and also disable "Port Range Forwarding", if this option is available.
Lastly, you will need to set your MTU to 1364 to avoid lag issues.
*DISCLAIMER: This is generic advice, sourced from the internet, so I cannot be held responsible for it's accuracy, as I don't use a Home Hub router*
EDIT: Here's a Youtube link that explains the process visually. Although the user here doesn't use a Home Hub, essentially the process is the same.
