Xbox 360 with wrt54gs V2 connection problems

Been trying to set this up for a wired connection and getting nowhere. Firmware version is 4.71.1. Reason I have the higher firmware is for the WPA security which I don't think the xbox supported firmware version provides. BTW, have four computers, two wired, two wireless, connecting through the router. If I connect the xbox directly to the DSL modem I get connected and sometimes (and I mean sometimes) get an IP but always fail on the DNS. ISP is verizon. Verizon says to call Xbox, Xbox gave up after their flow charts ran out of options. If I hook the cable through the router I get no connection and the connection light on the router blinks on and off very slowly. I've tried every setting in the book and cant get a connection. My thought is by going through the router the connections for the xbox can be negotiated by the router instead of the ISP, plus other systems can also connect. Any thoughts on what could be preventing the connection? Would a new router solve the problem? It is four or five years old, has never been a problem, but could it possibly be too old for an xbox 360? Any suggestions on a model that would work in this configuration? Thanks

Lowered the MTU to 1498 and didn't make a difference, at least not yet. What I have noticed on the router is the connection light for the xbox is in a very slow, cyclical on / off rotation. Where all of the other lights for connected systems are rapidly moving this one is not.

Xbox 360 and wrt54gs 7.2 problem

i read the faqs and serached the forums i did not find an answer to what i am looking for i have a xbox 360 and i can not connect it to my computer for media center and it can not connect to xbox live i can use the xbox 360 connect directly to my cable modem and it connects to xbox live just fine so the problem must be the router. will some one please help me!

Connect your computer straight to the modem and download the firmware file for your router from www.linksys.com/download After downloading the firmware connect your modem to the Internet port on the router and connect your computer to port1 on the router...
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.Then, unplug the power keep holding down the reset button for another 30 Seconds.Plug the power back in, and keep holding down the reset button for 30 Seconds.Release the reset button.
Open the Internet Explorer and type 192.168.1.1 in the Address Bar and press enter. When it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field empty and provide password as admin all in lower cases and then click on ok. Now click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' to select the extracted/uncompressed .img or .bin file and click on "Upgrade"...After doing the firmware upgrade you have to reset this router again for 30 seconds.
Re-configure your router... forward the port nos on to your pc for the assinged ip address & reduce the MTU size to 1365 & you will be able to play the games wired as well as wireless.

Can AirPort express be used for AirPlay with my home stereo, and to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via ethernet, simultaneously?

I am considering buying an airport but I am not sure if it will work how I would like it to. I need it for two things. The first would be to use for AirPlay with my home stereo. The second would be to use as a way to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via the ethernet port. I would like to do these things simultaneously, rather than constantly changing the configuration and being limited to a single function each time I do so.
Thanks!

The 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can be configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, it would join an existing wireless network and its Ethernet port would be enabled for a wired client, like your Xbox 360. This configuration would also support AirPlay simultaneously.

Open nat type for xbox 360 with wrt160n?

How can I open my nat type on the xbox 360 with my wrt160n?
Currently it is on moderate..........

I had this same problem, I had to enable three things. enable UPnP, enable Allow users to make congiguration changes, enable Allow users to disable internet access. You most likely have the first two I mentioned enabled but the last one is the one I didn't have enabled and once I enabled then I had open NAT

Free Xbox 360 with $700 or up Windows Laptop

I have gotten the coupon using my .edu email for the free Xbox 360 with a laptop purchase of $699 or higher from College Student Deals
but have seen that it says I need a valid student ID to get the deal. I have just graduated from high school and have not gone to orientation yet so I do not have a student ID from college yet. I have a high school student ID still. Does anybody know if they really check for IDs or if a high school ID would work? If not, there are other online places I can get the PC and get the laptop using only my .edu email, such as the Microsoft Store, HPDirect.com, NewEgg, and Dell.com and I will get a computer from one of those sources. I only wanted to get my laptop at BestBuy because I can g check out the laptop before I purchase it plus I hate waiting for shipping. I get impatient when having to wait for items ordered. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

As long as you have an acceptance letter and your .edu address.

Can I use xbox 360 with thunderbolt display

Is it possible to use an Xbox 360 with a thunderbolt display? If so, I need specifics of what I would need to do so.

Not unless your 360 has a TB port.

Connecting XBOX 360 to WRT54G wireless network

I have a Linksys Wireless Router (WRT 54G) and I have set up a wirless network with my xbox 360. (sucessfully connected to Live).
I have windows XP and latest Zune software installed and thought it would be easy to connect my XBOX to my Zune. 5 days later (and one hour wasted with tech support) and I am still stuck.
I have enabled sharing in the zune software and it does indeed recognize that a 360 is available. But when I try to connect the 360 it cannot find the PC.
I have closed Zone alarm and windows firewall is not running.
What do I need to tell the linksys router to enable the XBOX to see my PC?
The XBOX help says the following need to be enabled?
Port Name Protocol Scope 2869 UPnP Framework TCP My network (subnet) only 1900 UPnP Framework UDP My network (subnet) only 10284 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10283 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10282 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10281 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10280 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10243 Windows Media Connect TCP My network (subnet) only
The xbox help tells me I need to enable ports??? If I do this then I am only able to enter the 4th number ie AAA.BBB.CCC.DD What should I enter for DD, 1? Will this fix it?
Please help and put me out of my misery.

well...you need to assign a static ip add on the x-box ( 192.168.1.10 ) . Also , assign static DNS addresses ( from the router's status page )

I have the WRT54G Version 6. I could not connect -- First I updated the firmware. Check the linksys site for your router under support to ensure you have the most up-to-date firmware. Still could not connect. Observed which IP it was assigning to the XBox then put this IP address into the DMZ. It has worked since. Might work, might not. I noticed you have the V3 router, so hope this helps in some way.

New XBOX 360 S can't connect with Linksys WRT54G2

I can't get the XBOX 360 (the new S model) to connect w/ XBOX Live through my Linksys WRT54G2.
After the automatic settings didn't work, I tried some manual instructions here:
http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/WRT54G2-issues-when-it-s-plugged-in/m-p/207071?qu...
But that didn't work.
Note: I have a laptop and an iPad that connect to the router just fine.
Ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

One additional piece of info... When I go to my Windows PC and look at the Network Map (Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Map), the XBOX shows up as part of the network. But it has a dashed green line connected to it, instead of a solid green line like the rest of the devices.
Not sure if that provides any additional clues.

Problem streaming from Windows Media Center to XBOX 360 with Airports?

Good evening,
I have been having an issue trying to stream windows media center from my windows 7 ultimate (64 bit if that helps) to my Xbox 360. My network setup is:
I have an airport extreme (G) that is plugged into my cable modem and my windows 7 machine. In my living room I have an airport express that extends my wireless signal through out the house but my xbox 360 is plugged into it via ethernet. I have a very fast internet connection that is stable but any transfer between my computer and xbox is very limited it seems. I was wonder if there is a way to get this to work better. When I lunch windows media center on the xbox it sees my pc and it shows the available files but when I try and move from one to the other nothing happens and eventually I get a can't connect error. Would I be better off not connecting via ethernet to the airport express and just buying a wireless adapter?
Thanks

You don't say how your devices are connected, whether through your Verizon router or some other way. If through, say, an Actiontec then you may be having bottleneck issues. I used to run all my devices through my Actiontec and got poor transfer speeds (it only handles 10/100). Moving everything on my network to a 10/100/1000 switch helped my transfer speeds to shoot right up ten fold. This way only the switch gets connected to my Actiontec and my network devices can still get out on the 'net if needed.
It's ok to try to reinvent the wheel, but just make sure it's round.

XBox 360 and WRT54GS no one can fix this. Please help if you can?

I'm totally out of ideas here and would appreciate it if someone could help me? We have 2 XBox 360's both with the Microsoft XBox wireless adapters. My son has had his since they first came out whatever year that was. My youngest daughter got hers last October. Both XBox's connect to XBox LIVE without a problem via a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router. The problem we can't solve is - my oldest daughter and son-in-law live about a mile from us and they have an XBox 360. When we try to connect to their XBox (or anyone else that's local) to play against her and her husband, it won't connect and gives us a "Disconnected" prompt every time. They have no problem connecting to other XBox's locally but we, for some reason, can't. I can connect our XBox directly into our cable modem bypassing the Linksys and it connects to them, so it isn't the cable modem. I've changed settings on the router, internet, XBox with no luck. I've updated the firmware. I've read thru posts on the internet for weeks and now my brain is mush. Is this fixable or do I need to buy a new wireless router? Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with anything but we have 3 PC's and 3 DVR's also connected to the internet but are hard wired. My kids and grandkids have DSi's, a Playststion3, and a Wii and those all connect via wireless and work great. XBox has this WRT54GS listed as compatable. I'm stumped. I know there's some really sharp folks out there somewhere.......please help if you can? Thanks for any help you could offer!

Have you opened the ports on the router....?
If not then,you need to open ports 53-3074 on the router..Read this link. Also,under the security tab on the router,uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...

Xbox 360 and WRT54G v8 SBC Ameritech

I have done extensive searching on this forum and many others to no avail. I cannot get my xbox 360 to find an IP address. I have the router setup and can get internet from all of my PC's and Mac's through it. I am wondering if the problem is the modem from SBC - it is an Efficient Speedstream 5260 and if I hook the Xbox 360 directly to it with the PPoE settings typed in, it still will not find an IP. Thought that going through the router might solve that. Weirdest thing is the first couple tests I did through the Xbox dashboard passed every test, but still could not connect to Live, and now it will not go farther than the failed IP test. Problem is that where I am I cannot upgrade my modem because I cannot risk all the problems I had getting this 5260 to work. By day it is my work internet, and I can't afford to be down even for a day. So I am hoping there is a fix for the equipment I have.

Hi,
Try assigning a static IP address on XBOX as following:
IP:192.168.1.10
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway:192.168.1.1
Hope it works for you

Xbox 360 wireless adapter wont connect to Airport Express/cant find ip

i have a time warner modem with the ethernet cable plugged into my airport express to create a wireless network in my house. my macbook and dell connect with no prob.
the xb recognizes the airport express, shows it as connected with green bars, but when i try to log into xbox online, it says that there is no connection.
i can plug in the ethernet cable from the xb to the airport ex and there is no problem. only when trying to use the wireless adapter.
how can i stop this? also, how can i find my IP address?
since the xb wouldnt connect and find my ip automatically, i tried to do it manually. when i go to terminal on my macbook and enter "ipconfig e0", i dont see an IP address.
i have seen a lot of info on this but it mainly deals with airport extreme or those who are trying to connect to airport express with an ethernet cable.
so if you can help me troubleshoot the wireless connection between my xb and my airport ex OR explain how i can find my IP address, i would be very grateful.
FYI---the airport express was purchased in april, so i believe it is the new "n" model.
thanks for all your help.

Gary Sanborn, please share your tricks. I'm curious to know how you got it to work. I used to have the old Express and that worked just fine. The new version (n) doesn't seem to connect to xbox live. As previously stated, mine also shows "connected" and a strong green bar signal on the xbox but the text can't get passed "connected to live"... if I'm not mistaken.
I heard about holding down the option button white selected the type of wireless connection and connecting to wireless b only. I would want to avoid this option. I don't want my express to run that slow. Please advice. Thanks in advance.
By the way, I haven't tried it since recently upgrading to OS X 10.5.3. I wasn't sure if that affected airport's connectivity with xbox 360.
