BEFW11S4 V4 and Xbox 360 issues

Back when I had Halo 3, I could play and lag would be the only problem. I recently got FFXI however and I keep getting a 0250 error. A lot of people tell me I need to forward my ports but I don't think that's it since I didn't have to do that for Halo 3. Others say it may be a firmware thing. When I try to update the file, it just fails and I don't know how to fix that.
Is it my router that's causing this problem or is it the server's problem (Sometimes the issue with FFXI and the same error) either way, I'm losing day by day on my free trial and I can't update the game because of the error.

For Firmware Upgrade try this : 
Download TFTP Utility
Download Firmware 314 KB
 Double click the tftp.exe file and click run :
For Server- Enter the IP Address of the router that you assigned.  By default, the router is 192.168.1.1...

  • Updated to 7.3.1, PC and Xbox 360 can't connect

    Hey, anyone else having problems getting PCs and Xbox 360s to connect to the AirPort Extreme after the 7.3.1 update? Wired or wireless, my PC (Vista, with and without SP1) and my Xbox 360 (with the official wireless network adapter) won't connect.

    I am in the same boat...
    7.2 worked great... 7.3.1 does not even show in the network list. Also, downgrading it does not fix the issue?!?!?

  • BEFW11S4 Problems with Laptop and Xbox 360

    For the past few weeks my Linksys BEFW11S4 has been malfunctioning. When I try to connect to the wireless network from my laptop, it says "Not Connected" but I can still access the internet for a few minutes before it really disconnects. Unplugging the router and plugging it back in lets me connect again, but still it gives the "Not Connected" message and boots me off within a few minutes. It has also been causing problems with my Xbox 360. It is connected with an ethernet cable to the router, but every time I turn the Xbox on it says that it is not connected. After I unplug the router and plug it back in, the problem is fixed, and I can go online on my Xbox for as long as I want. Anyone know how to fix this?

    It seems that router is not configured properly ..... checkthe firmware version on the status page of router ..... .
    Upgrade the firmware if required .....

  • Please help: connection issues (ATT, Time Capsule and xbox 360 live)

    I am having near constant issues with my home network, so I am hoping to tap in to the collected knowledge of the internets to help sort things out.
    Main issue: daily/hourly internet disconnection. Now, my 360 wireless adaptor can't even see the network. Ugh. Basically, I am hoping someone could give me the "best" configuragtion (ie settings for network, Time Capsule, 360 and/or wireless adaptor) for my current set-up.
    My set up:
    LinkSys modem from ATT (in bridge mode)-->
    Apple Time Capsule (router) -->
    Mad Catz 360 wireless network adaptor -->
    Xbox 360
    I have spent some time looking through the forums but keep running into conflicting recommendations and nothing I have tried so far seems to have helped. Thanks (in advance) for the help.

    So, you must have somehow reconfigured the 2wire to perform as a simple modem, even though it is a full fledged modem/router combination. I've see the 2wire, but never configured one, so I can't offer a lot of help there.
    Was there a particular reason why you configured the 2wire as a bridge when you could have simply configured the TC as a bridge to work with the 2wire? In other words, the 2wire would do the PPPoE service along with DHCP and NAT.
    Maybe you tried it this way and something didn't work?
    We've seen a number of posts from users who are having issues with the TC doing the PPPoE service. I just wonder if you are not betting off letting the 2wire do what the ISP intended it to do.

  • WRT55AG and XBox 360 connectivity issues

    I've had this router for almost 2 years and in the last month I've started developing issues of when I play a game on the XBox 360 I get constant issues with lag and disconnecting errors that make playing any game online impossible, but I never lose connection to XBox Live. This is happening with multiple games including Team Fortress 2, Call of Duty 4, and Halo 3.
    Now before this I would have problems where the router would completely lose connection with my cable modem and I would have to reset everything but then it would be fine. Now I don't lose internet connection (PC is wired into router while 360 is wireless with Microsoft's official Wi-Fi periphial) or XBox Live connection, but any game I try to play is a fruitless endeavor because of lag.
    My ISP is Charter Communication in the St. Louis area, and my connection is 3 down, 256 up. I have done speed tests and I'm getting pretty much those speeds exactly. I have opened the ports to make my NAT open, and the XBox test confirms my NAT is open.
    I'm at the end of my rope, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Open routers set up page using http://192.168.1.1 ...leave username blank & in  password use admin....
    Click on "application & gaming" tab ...... forward the ports 88 & 3074 for static Ip of X-BOX ....enable the servie & click save settings ....
    USe static Ip ...subnet mask ...gateway & DNS numbers on X-BOX confgiuration
    Do power cycle & see if you arew able to play games online or not...

  • E3000 and Xbox 360 5Ghz and Wireless N issue

    Hello everyone,
    Bought the E3000 a couple of weeks ago, and I'm pretty pleased thus far. I do have one issue with it though, my Xbox 360 has a wireless N adapter and should support wireless N and 5Ghz dual band, but it does not see this network. It only spots the 2,4ghz one. Have the latest firmware installed, but it didn't seem to fix the problem. I just read that this router could have some issues with this.
    Once it connects to the 2,4 Ghz network though, it says it's connected by using wireless G.
    Anyone got a solution for this?
    Thanks!

    The problem is your router, cisco needs to update the fimware to be compatible. There is nothing you can do to get it to work, except to switch the router out with a different name brand and it will work. This is a problem with their biggest flag ship router Cisco E4200 as well. You will not be able to connect to 5Ghz N nor 2.4Ghz N, only can connect to 2.4Ghz  G or 5 Ghz A with or without security This has been going on for awhile with cisco. 

  • PS3 and XBox 360 problems. NAT issue.

    I don't know if anyone is having this issue. I own an XBox 360 and a PS3, both connected wirelessly to my WRT54GS router. If I play the XBox 360 (which requires an open NAT) it's fine. As soon as I download something (not play something) on my PS3, it turns the NAT into Moderate rather than Open. When I again turn on my XBox 360 I have problems with Live. So I must reset my router every time I download content on my PS3.
    Does anyone know why this happens or how to keep it from happening again?
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    check out the hardware version on the unit...and then go to www.linksys.com/download and look for the firmware of the appropriate version number of WRT54GS...
    access the router interface using http://192.168.1.1 . Logon using the password "admin"..ensure that the router has the same firmware as available on the website...if not , upgrade it first..
    after the firmware upgrade , reset the router and reconfigure ...
    on the router ui , change the MTU settings to 1364 ...assign static ip add and dns on the x-box and PS3....the ip add should be out of the range of the router's DHCP ( i.e out of 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149 )
    on the router ui , go to "Applications and gaming" tab and forward ports 88 and 3074 for the ip add of the x-box and 10070 - 10080 , 6000 - 6999 for the PS3..

  • Windows 10 and Xbox 360 Mic issues

    I just upgraded from windows 8.1 to windows 10 and my xbox 360 mic which worked fine with the earlier version of windows stopped working correctly with windows 10. Skype 'sees' the mic as installed with no problems but it will not record sound and I can hear nothing back thru it. Please help    Thanks

    I just tested out this configuration.  While I don't own an official Xbox 360 mic I do have a 2.5mm to mic/headphone converter which is essentially the same thing.  With it plugged in it gets detected and installed.  I tested this configuration in Windows 7 and it worked.  I tested it in Windows 10 and it wasn't initially picking up my audio. All it picked up was total noise (even without Skype).  I then updated the driver to the "USB Audio Device" driver and it still didn't resolve the noise problem though it wanted me to reboot.  I then walked away to do something else and the computer went to sleep.  After I awoke, everything worked fine and I could even make a Skype test call. If you haven't power cycled your computer yet, try that.  If you have, try updating the Xbox headset driver under "Sound.." in device manger to "USB Audio Device".  Power cycle the computer and try again.  I have the wireless version but it should work the same way with either wired or wireless.  You can also try install the USB cable or receiver into another jack and see if anything changes.

  • Iphone 4 Video and Xbox 360 as my PC's Windows Media Center

    I noticed that all video formats play perfectly over my Xbox 360 except for video shot with my iphone 4. It plays the video in slow motion while the audio is at regular speed. It's very annoying. Is their a fix for this or do I just need to convert the iphone 4 videos to h264 mp4, or regular mp4? Any quick fixes so I don't have to do the converting? When I play them on my HP they play just fine. I'm assuming it has something to do with the Xbox 360 not having an updated codec. Any ideas will be tried.
    Thanks

    I'm in the same Xbox 360 boat. I'm also amazed at the lack of information on this problem since the iPhone 4 has been out so long and the Xbox 360 received an update long after.
    It has to be a codec issue since the Xbox 360 can play 1080p content. The iPhone 4 720p video can't be more intensive than 1080p.
    While I'm at it why can't the Xbox 360 play iTunes Plus and iTunes Lossless audio, they're DRM free (I use Connect360 to get around the issue)? Seriously, Microsoft has to be doing it on purpose. Every attempt I've made to get this question answered has been met with a MS wall.

  • Getting DSL Modem, TimeCapsule, and XBox 360 to play nice

    I just bought a 1TB Time Capsule and pretty much hooked it up without reading the manual by using what seemed like the defaults. Everything seems to be working fine...I've got internet access, my two MacBooks are backing up using Time Machine...my only issue is that XBox 360, which connects wirelessly, is offline, (i.e., it can't connect to XBox Live.)
    I have AT&T DSL internet. I plugged my TC into the Westell DSL Modem and ran the Airport configuration software. Using the default or recommended options, My TC assumed the settings for the wireless server of my Westell Modem. (I selected the "Bridge" setting when I got to that part.) When I was told to turn off the other wireless device (My Westell modem's wireless), I just logged on to the modem and turned off the wireless.
    Everything worked fine...until I went to get on to XBox Live. It fails the connection test on XBox. (Everything else still works great.)
    What do I need to do to get the XBox back up and running? It appears that my Westell is the router, handing out IP addresses, and my TC is just a wireless bridge to my Westell. Why wouldn't it hand an address to the XBox just like is doing for my two MacBooks?
    I still have my HP Color LaserJet hooked up via ethernet to the Westell.
    Is there a better way to hook all this up?

    Maybe I shouldn't have said I have the "default settings". At each step along the initial configuration path, I read the details for each option, and choose the path that would seem to work best in my environment.
    In my initial post that indicated that I chose the "Bridge" route that you recommended, but my XBox 360 is not getting an IP address from my Westell DSL modem. Yet my 2 MacBooks, 1 MacBook Pro, 2 iPhones and 1 iPod touch all seem to get served IP addresses without a hitch.
    There was a was an option about NAT & Something else after "Bridge" was selected. Is there something about that setting that would allow Mac stuff to access my network, but prevent a Microsoft-rigid device like an XBox 360 from gaining access?

  • Internet Routing a limited-access PC to my iMac AND xbox 360

    Hello All,
    I have a company work computer (PC) at home which does not have administrative access, however, I've been able to download software like firefox and save it to my desktop only.
    Next to this PC, I have my iMac. On the other side of the wall, is my tv room with our xbox 360 which is really a powerful online gaming console.
    I have been frustrated in the past in routing an internet connection to be shared with the PC and iMac. And now I'd like to share the internet with the 360 at the same time. I've had to share the internet "cave man" style by unplugging my Comcast Modem, unplug the ethernet connection, reconnect the ethernet from whichever system I want internet on, and then plug in the power.
    I have tried many times to make this work but have been unsuccessful as I think it's tricky to make the PC and iMac work together. The IT people at work say the iMac has it's own IP number and I don't know if that's prevent the network from working. I've been trying to research the "how-to" and came across something about a "DHCP" but I don't even know if that's my issue.
    I'm reluctant in buying an airport router from Apple because it's not 100% refundable if the packaging is open.
    If you can help, please teach me how to do this. A huge thank you in advance.
    Thank you!

    By default most routers do not use the MAC address for distributing connections, but they can be configured to do so. Modern routers' security settings can be configured to allow access only to machines whose MAC addresses have been entered into the Include list. This creates a "private" network only accessible to those whose MAC addresses have been added to the list, and prevents others from gaining access to the network. Used together with passwords and firewalls they provide effective barriers to prevent unwanted access to the network. Using the MAC address is a good way of securing a wireless network from access by users "outside" of the local network.
    The mechanism used to share an internet connection is called NAT (Network Address Translation) that is used to "map" a real IP address (the one received by the modem from the ISP) to multiple devices. The actual assignment of the local IP numbers is usually done by the DHCP server in the router (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.) The DHCP server obtains all the IP parameters required by connected devices so they can communicate through the router - the important ones being the Gateway IP, real IP, network mask, and the local IP.
    In theory a router makes it possible for multiple device such as a Mac, a PC, an XBox, and a printer to all connect to a local network and to communicate with each other. I don't use any gaming machines like an XBox, but my home LAN is setup using an Airport Extreme Base Station that is connected to my cable modem and to a high speed network switch. I have three computers, two network printers, and a SlingBox currently connected in the network. The latter connects wireless from an Airport Express. In addition to the devices normally connected there are two other laptops that may connect wirelessly when needed. I have a second Airport Express in the house that is used to help extend the network because my house has plastered walls with metal laths that tend to reduce wireless signal strength.

  • Newest 3TB Time Capsule with Motorola SB6121 and Xbox live issues.

    I just bought a new 3TB Time Capsule but am having issues with the speed of my internet and connecting to XBL.  I use Time Warner and have a Motorola SB 6121 modem.  The modem is brand new as well and worked perfeclyt with my old router(Trendnet TEW-gr633).  I want to use the time capsule as my only router but it is only testing out between <1-2 on the download.  I was getting 15-25 on the download before the TC.  I am also having issues connecting to the network on my xbox 360S as well.
    Any help with adjusting the settings on my TC would be much appreciated.

    I would suggest adjusting the Time Capsule's Ethernet WAN port setting using the AirPort Utility. By default, this option is set to Automatic. I would recommend changing it to "1000 Mbps / Full Duplex" to see if this helps.

  • Xbox 360 issues using Wireless Airport Extreme

    This has been driving me crazy I don't know what to do...
    I had an Airport Extreme for a few years, worked fantastic and was able to connect wirelessly with my Xbox 360 with no problems.
    For the holidays I went to visit my family and took the Airport Extreme with me so I could have wireless internet setup. The family bought a brand new Airport Extreme while i was there but because my old one was already setup we decided that I would just take the new one back home with me.
    So i got home, set it up, and now I have Xbox live problems...
    The xbox still connects, that's not the problem (although I do get kicked off a lot)... The problem is that none of the marketplace/online content shows up. I figured this was a Microsoft problem so I was on the phone with them last night trying everything they could think of. Once we had exhausted all their ideas, they concluded it was the Airport's fault and told me to contact Apple.
    Microsoft said I had to open some ports, but I honestly feel they are mistaken here. If I can already CONNECT, and once in about 100 times, the marketplace content WILL show up for a second, then how could it be a port issue?
    I have Hard Reset the Airport Extreme and reconfigured it. I also re-installed the airport software because it said my software was still for the old Airport and that it might cause issues.
    Nothing has helped. Microsoft told me to delete my media update on my xbox, and now I can't even watch movies because I have to re-download the update, which I CAN'T DO!

    Do you recall if you received a double NAT warning when you configured the new AirPort Extreme (AEBS)?

  • WRT54GX4 Wireless Router and Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter

    I just got an Xbox 360 with a Wireless Networking Adapter.  The adapter will recognize the network, but won't connect to it.  Even if I remove the security, the Xbox 360 won't connect.  Is there something else via the router I'm supposed to be doing?  I called Microsoft and they said to open the port settings, but I don't know if that's really the issue and I don't know how to do that if I need to.
    The ports they gave me were:
    TCP 80
