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

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • Airport Extreme With Current XBOX 360

    Will the current XBOX 360 (sold for $299.99) with the XBOX 360 Wireless Network Adapter be able to connect to the Apple Airport Extreme?

  • How do I add an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule to an existing non-Apple network?

    How do I add an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule to an existing non-Apple network?  I have an ISP provided wireless Router that has to remain as the base station.  I am able to join my 1/2TB Airport Extreme and Airport Express to the network, but I can't access/use Time Machine.

    One option would be to connect the Time Capsule (TC) to the ISP-provided wireless router by Ethernet. You can then configure the for a roaming network. Then, depending on what your goal is for the AirPort Express, you can either: 1) Add it to roaming network, 2) Configure the TC & the Express for an "extended" network, or 3) Configure the Express to "join" the roaming network for AirPlay.

  • I have a BT home Hub 3 with standard BT broadband(no infinity), how do I set up an Apple AirPort Extreme without a stand alone modem? Can I use my current Home Hub

    I want to use an Apple AirPort Extreme as my home router but at present I have standard BT broadband using the BT Home hub 3. Can I connect them in some way so I don't need to buy a stand alone modem.
    IS THIS POSSIBLE???
    1. Would Apple AirPort Express be better and easier?
    2. What modem would be suitable if I can't do it any other way?
    I AM CURRENTLY USING MY INTERNET WITH PS3,WINDOWS 7 LAPTOP, IPAD AND IPHONE!!!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You said that you wanted the layout to look like this:
    AT&T 2WIRE Router (wireless off) ---> AirPort Extreme ---> NetGear 16-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch ---> ethernet cabling to ports in most rooms --->
    So, we took that at face value....,.but it could look like this if things are more convenient this way, if you prefer:
    AT&T 2WIRE  > Ethernet Switch > AirPort Extreme and other devices.
    - If we include an AirPort Extreme in the overall network setup, are there any potential issues with the 2WIRE router and the AirPort Extreme router "competing" with one another?
    No, if you leave the wireless function off on the 2WIRE.  If you do want the utilize the wireless on the 2WIRE and the AirPort Extreme, then you want to keep them physically separated by 6-8 feet, or a few meters.
    - Do I really need an AirPort Extreme in the final setup?
    No, if the AirPort Express will provide enough range for the network.
    Or if I just want an extra WAP, can I operate two AirPort Express units (with the same SSID) downstream of a 2WIRE router?
    Yes, if both of them are configured to operate in Bridge Mode.  If you are using the "wizard" setup utility in AirPort Utility 6.x, the wizard will do this for you automatically.
    That is to say, could we have a setup that looks just like the image above, but with an extra AirPort Express tacked on to one of the unused ethernet ports?
    You can have as many AirPort Express devices (or AirPort Extreme devices) as you want, as long as each has an Ethernet connection back to the switch.

  • HT3546 So i recently bought an Apple AirPort Extreme BaseStation (the mushroom shaped one) and was wondering if someone could tell me where and how to find a power cord and how to set it up with my Macintosh (2011 edition with 1.7.5) Thankyou! :)

    So i recently bought an Apple AirPort Extreme BaseStation (the mushroom shaped one) and was wondering if someone could tell me where and how to find a power cord and how to set it up with my Macintosh (2011 edition with 1.7.5) Thankyou!

    Welcome!
    Last question first, as we need to know what operating system that the Mac is using.
    If you are not sure, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac, and post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.
    Two possible solutions on the power cord
    ORIGINAL OEM APPLE AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATION POWER SUPPLY AC ADAPTER A1202 if you want a white power supply and white power cord to match up with the Apple device
    AC adapter for Apple AirPort A1034 Extreme B... if you don't care what color the supply and cord might be

  • AirPort Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR Card for Apple Dual Core

    Hello everybody,
    Where can I buy the AirPort Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card for a new Apple PowerMac G5 2.3 Dual core? What websites or locations in Los Angeles sell this card?
    What workarounds are out there?
    Thank you all for your answers.
    Apple G5 Dual Core   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   HD Cinema Screen

    The new Dual Core G5 machines do indeed come shipped in the base models without Bluetooth or Airport Extreme. There will be a solution available through the local ASP's (Apple Service Providers) and Apple Genius bars in the Apple owned Retail stores. Many of the store employees are not fully aware of the situation, however, they should be able to look up the issue in the Knowledge Base.
    There is a service part (PN 661-3692), that should likely be available for future upgrades. At present, the part is constrained, and therefore restricted to exchange only repairs. You may want to contact a service provider or Apple Retail location to inquire on availability as an upgrade part, as it is currently not planned as a DIY (do it yourself) activity and would have to be obtained and installed by one of these service providers.

  • I bought an Apple Airport Extreme used and it did not come with any software disks. how would make it work without the software disk?

    Bought an Apple Airport Extreme used and it did not come with any discs. Do i need any discs? or is there another way to setup this airport without using a software disc?

    You can download the setup manual and software that you need.
    Look on the bottom of the AirPort Extreme for the Model Number.  It's A.......  something.
    Post back with the model number and the exact operating system you are running on your Mac or PC.

  • What needs to be done to avoid WIFI drop-offs with Apple AirPort Extreme Base station with Extended Wifi

    Hi there,
    can anybody please advise me what needs to be done to avoid WIFI drop-offs every half an hour or 1 hours.
    I use voip phoe calls a lot using my WIFI, However my AirPort WIFI connection drops-off while I am in the middle of WIFI VOIP calls.  This is causing significant disturbance in my family.
    Please assist.
    In details, I have extended my WIFI range using 2 Apple Airport Extreme Base Station.
    Main Base is - A1408 9 (5th Gen),  and I have extended my WIFI in my L shape house by connecting another Apple AiPort A1354 ( 4th Gen) with AA1408.
    Note1:
    > when I am close to A1408 my iPhone4 connected with A1408 automatically
    > When I am close ot A1354 , my iPhone4 connected with A1354 automatically.
    Note2: these drop-offs never occurred when I had only 1 Apple AirPort Extreme Base station WIFI
    I think, this Auto switching causing the slight drop outs in my Wifi when I am on the VOIP call.
    Do you think that something is going wrong with my Apple AirPort Wifi extended?
    Much appreciated

    To help eliminate drop-offs you need to ensure that your extended network is operating at its peak bandwidth performance. Base station placement is critical in an extended network. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details.

  • 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.

  • Creating my home network, Apple Airport Extreme & Sky

    Hello all,
    Hoping somebody can help, I’m attempting to set up a network in my home that works a bit like this.
    Ok, we’ve had sky broadband for a few months now and have the new grey Sagem router to go with it. I also have the new Apple Airport Extreme station (and an Oldish BTHomehub v1.5, the white one… just kicking about incase its useful!)
    What I want to achieve is use Time Machine on my Macbook Pro to wirelessly backup over the network to a Hard Drive plugged into the AE. I want the AE to be upstairs away from the sky router and I also want to be able to plug Ethernet devices into the AE to use the internet (somehow acquired from the router downstairs I assume) like an Xbox, laptop or anything else I might need really).
    *Its important to me that the AE isn’t downstairs in the same room as the router, otherwise I would just connect it with a cable and create a wireless network from that.
    On top of that (stay with me….) if the AE has the functionality to extend the wireless network further to hit the low signal spots that would help.
    I’ve been reading around the internet and various support sites. I know a little about this stuff but I’m not an expert on networking, I know nothing about the different signals N, g, b etc or how IP assigning works. I read a little about WDS networking but I’m not sure which direction to head.
    This is probably the closest thing I’ve found to what I’m talking about, If the bottom hub was the sky router and the top hub was the Apple AE.
    http://www.jarviser.co.uk/jarviser/repeaterhubs.html
    Appreciate any suggestions, thanks.

    The best way by far is to run ethernet as a kind of backbone between the two stories.. on one storey setup the AE and the other you setup the TC.
    I have no idea if one is the main router or not.. or both are bridged.. that doesn't really matter.. the principle is.. one router per network. So whichever is not the main router change to bridge mode.
    Both should create a wireless network. You can use roaming setup, where both use identical names and identical security. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4260

    I am getting a "connection timeout" message when trying to access my Airport Extreme with various laptops, Play Station 3 and Wii. My Airport Extreme is about a month old; it was working fine until about a week ago. Suddenly, the "timeout" is not allowing me to connect to my wireless network.

    It could be that there's a new source of interference.
