Airport Extreme N + Xbox 360 --- Can't find network.

Can't find my network through my Xbox 360, even through the different radio modes with the closed network box left cleared. Can anyone help? Where can I start? Thanks.
This happened after the Xbox Live update on December 4. There's not much I can do on the Xbox unfortunately, so it will help if I can configure the Airport in a way that it might work for the Xbox.

Hey man, I didn't really bother with connecting it directly, but I disabled WEP and it could find the network again. Using the 'Option key' trick you advised (even though I'm not using a Macintosh, but I knew what key is related), I managed to change the radio mode and WEP setting. Changed it to 802.11a and WEP 128-bit instead of WEP (Transitional Security Network). Thanks a lot man. You're really helpful. If I had a friend's list here, I'd add you.

  • Xbox 360 can't find PC (WRT54G)

    My PC (via windows media player 11) recognizes my xbox 360 on the network, and i've allowed it. However, when i try to connect to my PC from the xbox, it can't find it. I've tried everything suggested, such as changing port forwarding, giving my PC a static IP address, etc, and nothing works. What am I missing?

    you have to download and install the Media centre extender software please goto the following site for instructions - http://www.xbox.com/en-US/pcsetup/alldownloads.htm thank you.

  • How do I connect Airport Extreme to XBox 360 live

    I just bought an Airport Extreme to use as my wireless router.  Everything connected beautifully EXCEPT my all in one HP Printer and my XBOX 360.  If I manually enter the settings, I can connect but only for a minute or 2.  Once my son starts using xbox LIVE, the connection gets dropped.  All instructions I can find must be for older utilities.  I eventually plugged in my old G Router into an open LAN port on the back of the Airport Extreme and got my printer working when connecting to the old network ID but still can't get XBOX 360 to connect and stay connected.  Any help is appreciated. 

    Ok, thanks for the update. Do you have the Xbox connected to the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) by Ethernet (wire) or by wireless? If wireless, temporarily connect it by Ethernet to verify that you can get connectivity via this method.
    If you were using wireless, which of the following is the wireless adapter that you are using?
    802.11g or
    802.11n?

  • AirPort Extreme and xbox 360

    How do I open NAT on 2013 AirPort Extreme 7.1 for xbox 360 connection?

    Unfortunately, the AirPorts are not listed as Xbox Live-compatible routers ... so there is no guarantee doing this will get Open NAT status for Xbox Live!
    Basically what it comes down to is that although you can get an Internet connection for the Xbox with the AirPorts, you may not get the necessary NAT setting (Moderate or Open) for the Xbox Live! on-line game that you want to play. As such, you basically have two options: 1) Create a DMZ (Apple calls this a Default Host) for the XBox or 2) Configure the AirPort for Port mapping to open the required ports to allow Xbox Live! access ... or 3) Use a compatible router.
    Option 1 - Create a DMZ
    AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > Edit > Network Options
    Enable default host at: <Enter the IP Address for the XBox>
    Option 2 - Configure Port Mapping
    The following ports must be available for Xbox Live to operate correctly:
    UDP 53
    UDP 88
    UDP 1863
    UDP 3074
    TCP 53
    TCP 80
    TCP 1863
    TCP 3074
    To setup port mapping on an AirPort base station, either connect to the AirPort's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the base station's LAN ports, and then use the AirPort Utility, to make these settings:
    1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the Xbox 360.
    AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > Edit > Network tab
    Click the "+" (Add) button to enter a DHCP Reservation.
    Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
    Reserve address by: MAC Address
    MAC Address: <Enter the MAC hardware address of the Xbox or the MAC address of the wireless depending on how you connect the XBox to the network.>
    IPv4 Address: <enter the desired Private IP address you want to assign to the Xbox>
    Click Save.
    2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
    While still on the Network tab:
    Click the "+" (Add) button under the Port Settings dialog box.
    Description: <you must enter a description here; it can be anything you want>
    Public UDP Port(s): 53, 88, 1863, 3074
    Public TCP Port(s): 53, 80, 1863, 3074
    Private IP Address: <enter the DHCP Reserved IP address for the Xbox you created earlier>
    Private UDP Port(s): 53, 88, 1863, 3074
    Private TCP Port(s): 53, 80, 1863, 3074
    Click Save
    Click Update and allow the AirPort to restart.

  • Apple Airport Extreme with xbox 360

    Even with alot of research and tinkering i have not been able to get a stable xbox live connection. however i am fairly sure it is not the router, if it was it would disconnect regulary, and it doesnt, it works fine one day and is a bit twitchy the next. Still i was wondering... what is the difference between the ipv6 modes: link local, node and tunnel? and is one of them best for xbox live use?

    ...I will get a better connection using the Xbox wireless adapter and my Airport Extreme Base Station, than I do by connecting the Xbox via Ethernet to an Airport Express that is wirelessly connected to my AEBS?
    Yes
    If I get the xbox wireless adapter, do I still need to configure my AEBS as WDS...
    No
    ...and could I get my old network communication speed back?
    Yes

  • Wireless Airport Connection for XBox 360

    There are several prior threads on this, and on the Micros**t board, but none resolve the issue - so here's hoping someone can help the father of a frustrated 15 year old (please, please!!).
    Bottom line - my son got an XBox 360 for Christmas. We have an Airport Extreme network (with an Airport Express range booster down stream) for our home network. Cable modem with static IP. The XBox with its wireless networking adapter will recognize my home network (with WEP security) - it's located about 10 fet from the Extreme Base Satation, but the XBox will not connect. (We tried the XBox website's "set up wizard" to no avail; Microsoft simply says that Airports are not supported and they have no clue as to how to establish a connection with a non-PC).
    I know an XBox 360 can join an Apple Airport Extreme wireless network because others have posted the result - but without any explicit instructions on how to do so (at least none that I can find).
    I'm pretty Mac savvy, but don't want to get into doing terminal commands as I don't want to mess up any aspect of my home network (since I have an office there as well and can't afford to rebuild a network like I did last night for 6 hours when someone at Micro told me to change my Airporst security, which sent a ripple effect throgh my system to the point I lost all internet for hours).
    So, if anyone can give me a set of "a, b, c ... 1, 2, 3 ..." set-up instructions on how to wirelessly get an XBox 360 to join an Airport Extreme network, you'll have certaintly done your good deed for the Holidays!
    Thanks and Cheers!

    Found the answer - set wireless security to 128 bit WEP and made the network password EXACTLY 13 characters, and the XBox loaded right up.

  • I have an Airport Extreme wireless router & I can not connect my Kindle.

    I have an Airport Extreme wireless router & I can not connect my Kindle.  Also, my password will not work when a visitor uses it for a laptop (even a Mac) or any other device that uses the internet.  It says the password is incorrect.  I easily connected a Kindle last year, but I got a new one & now I can not connect wirelessly.  I see no tab to create a guest network.  I do not mind giving my password to visitors, but that does not work.

    If you temporarily disable wireless encryption on your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), can the Kindle connect to the router and gain access to the Internet now? If so, then I would suggest that you reconfigure the AEBSn to use "WPA2 Personal" for the Wireless Security setting, and then, try connecting with the Kindle again.
    As far as establishing a Guest Network, the AEBSn must not be in bridge mode. That is, it should be the only router in your current network and directly conncted to the Internet modem. If it is, then you would find the Guest Networking option on the AirPort > Guest Networking tab:

  • Xbox 360 can't even detect router in the house at all now???

  • How do I setup my Airport Extreme so that I can extend the coverage of my existing AT&T wifi network?

    How do I setup my Airport Extreme so that I can extend the coverage of my existing AT&T wifi network?

    Start by establishing a permanent fixed Ethernet cable connection from one of the available LAN <-> ports on the ATT modem/router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme.
    Ethernet cabling can be run up to 300+ feet or 100 meters, so you should be able to locate the AirPort Extreme exactly where it will be needed to provide more wireless signal coverage.
    Configure the AirPort Extreme to "create" a wireless network using exactly the same wireless network name, same wireless security setting, and same wireless network password that the ATT wireless is using.
    The final step is to insure that the AirPort Extreme is configured to operate in Bridge Mode, so it will work correctly with the ATT modem/router.
    If you need more specific steps, we need to know what operating system you are using on your Mac or PC. If you have a Mac and do not know which operating system it is using.....click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and then click About This Mac, and post back with the OS X version number that you see there.

  • HT4260 what is the actual range of airport extreme in meters ? can  it cover my whole home if it is in the range of 50 meters of radius ?

    What is the actual range of the Airport Extreme in Metres? Can it Cover up to 50m in Radius?

    What is the actual range of the Airport Extreme in Metres? Can it Cover up to 50m in Radius?
    50m would be approximately the range.....if there were no walls or obstructions in the path the wireless signal must travel.
    Since we know nothing about how many walls, ceilings or other obstructions there might be the path that the wireless signal would take in your home, or the construction type of those obstructions, we cannot even make a guess about whether the AirPort Extreme might provide a signal to cover your home.

  • I have a 1st generation AirPort Extreme and want to create a guest network, can I? If so, how? Can I do this by adding an Airport Express?

    I have a 1st generation AirPort Extreme and want to create a guest network, can I? If so, how? Can I do this by adding an Airport Express?

    I have a 1st generation AirPort Extreme and want to create a guest network, can I?
    This version of the AirPort Extreme does not have guest network capability.
    Can I do this by adding an Airport Express?
    Why not simply buy a new Airport Express.....which does have main and guest network capability*.....and sell the AirPort Extreme?
    * The AirPort Express will need to connect to a simple modem.....not a modem/router or gateway type of device.....for the guest network feature to work correctly.

  • AirPort Extreme / Green Light ON / Can't see it on network

    My Setting
    Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi (4th Gen) and Motorola Surfboad Model SB6120 with Comcast service
    Solid Green Light is ON / Internet is working with LAN line connection on Airport Extreme.
    Problem
    I can not see it from wireless.  
    Attempts
    Scan with Airport Utitity from my MacBook Pro
    Scan with Airport Utility from iPhone 4
    Scan with other PCs.....     

    Your problem might stem from having your Airport create a "private" or "hidden" network or by having turned off the wireless functionality of the AE.
    If you think you might have setup a private network, but don't know the name, or turned off the wireless, you can:
    - connect your MBP by ethernet cable; then,
    - adjust the WiFi settings to enable wireless clients; or
    - adjust the Wireless security to disable a hidden or private network.
    If all else fails, perform a hard factory reset by holding down the physical reset button in the back of the AE with a paperclip, and redo the setup.
    Good Luck.

  • XBox 360 can't get IP / Directv gets IP, but showing "local only"

    I have two Linksys WRT54GL's using DD-WRT firmware.  One is serving as a router and broadcasting, while the other is serving as a wired bridge.  The wired bridge is working, a laptop wired up to it connects to the internet fine.  However, my Xbox 360 can't get an ip address, and DirecTV gets an IP address, but connects only to the local network, not the internet.  Any suggestions?  It doesn't seem to be the specific port, as I've used the laptop on all 4.

    Problem Solved!
    First, I re-configured my AEBS to allow DHCP sharing of a public IP address.
    Second, I re-set the new XBox 360 to its factory default settings.
    Third, I used the search function on the XBox 360 to locate my home network and AEBS.
    Fourth, I re-booted my modem (I'm a Comcast broadband user) and then re-booted my AEBS.
    Fifth, I restarted my XBox 360 service.
    Voila! My XBox 360 connected via my home network AEBS to the internet and now my 21-year old is out of my hair as he plays Halo!

  • Xbox 360 vs. Unsecure Network

    I have an Xbox 360 and Microsoft wireless adapter, plus a WRT54GX2 wireless router.  I've tried setting this router up in unsecure mode, meaning no security.  My Xbox 360 will not find the IP address... what should I do?
    -Simon

    Well..I had a similar problem..Here's what you can try.....
    On the set up page of the router , reduce the MTU to 1365... Go to " Applications and Gaming " tab..click on the "Port trigerring" subtab..Trigger ports 88 and 3074..
    These are the general ports for xbox..however you can still look for some more ports if required and open the same...
    If this does not work then go for upgrading the firmware of the router and re-do all the settings...

  • I just installed Airport Extreme. It works as a wireless network on my Macbook. It won't connect with my Windows Visa PC. Message reads: "settings saved on this computer for the network don't match requirements of the network.

    I just installed Airport Extreme. It works as a wireless network on my Macbook. It won't connect with my Windows Visa PC. Message reads: "settings saved on this computer for the network don't match requirements of the network." I seem to need to enter a security key/passphrase to connect to the PC. Where do I find them?
    Thanks for your help.

    I assume that you have Wireless Security enabled on your AirPort's wireless network. The issue maybe that the PC is unable to use the WPA password itself and will require using the Equivalent Network Password instead.
    To get this password, you will use the AirPort Utility from the MacBook:
    Start the AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort base station > Manual Setup
    Now, before doing anything else, go up to the utility's menu bar at the top of the screen, and then, choose "Base Station," and then, Equivalent Network Password from the drop-down menu. You will see two items: 1) WPA Password, which should look familiar to you, and 2) WPA Pre-Shared Key. It should be a long hexidecimal set of numbers and letters. Jot down this second item.
    You will want to use the value you just jotted down when entering the password from the Windows Visa PC.
