BT Home Hub connection issue on XBOX 360

I have just upgraded from a BT Home Hub 3, to the BT Home Hub 4, before the upgrade I ran Sky TV wired, and 3PCs wifi, my Ipad and my Iphone. I also ran my XBOX 360 wifi, and a PS3 wifi, all worked no problem.
Now I am on BT Home Hub 4, all my connections are the same all working well apart from the XBOX 360.
I have tried doing the fix on the BT site logging into the Hub changed the SIDD and set the other bit to NO. this did not work.
I then reset the XBOX to factory settings as this was in another fix, I then reset the XBOX to the Hub 4, logged on to call of duty ghosts got half way through a game it crashed out saying no conection reset to test conection.
The Hub will conect to my XBOX 360 but only stay conected for up to 14 mins at most.
Do I need to go back to my BT Home Hub 3, Can any body help its starting to be a pain. As one good person said use a wired conection that would be good, but due to location would be hard. I did think upgrading was ment to make things better not harder. Please Help.

To add, I had on online chat with BT, they said that no problems exist about XBOX 360 and the BT Home Hub to do with wifi.
If this is the case why have a fix on the BT site, that does not work may I add well not on my XBOX.
I found BT online chat not much help in this case.
Please advise and help

If you have a Slingbox and an Xbox 360, this will solve 360 connection prob

I got my TC on Wednesday of this week and starting hooking everything up. I had a PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, Printer, and Slingbox Pro that I wanted to hook up. Slingbox, PS3, Wii, and Printer all work fine, but the Xbox would not cooperate as many of you have found out. So, I took my old linksys router that I was not going to use anymore, turned off its wireless functionality, so it simply acted like a signal pass through with multiple ethernet outputs. I unhooked the Slingbox from the part I speak of below, and attempted to use the linksys to split an incoming signal to the Slingbox and the Xbox 360, which ended up working like a charm.
When I bought my Slingbox, I knew it was not going to be able to be close to my router, so I purchased one of their additional products (links below to products) call the Sling Link Turbo. Most of you are probably aware of this but for those of you that are not, it is a neat device that sends your internet signal through the electrical wiring in your house to a different location where it is plugged in another wall outlet. The catch is that both plugs have to be directly into a wall, it cannot go into a power strip or surge protector. I had this product by default on Wednesday and it helped me fix the problem, so it might benefit those of you that are interested to pick one up, the single port is not that expensive.
http://www.slingmedia.com/go/slt
http://www.slingmedia.com/go/slt4
Moving on now, I connected the Slink Link Turbo to the back of the TC and plugged it in. Then I plugged its counterpart into the wall behind my TV so it could sit next to the Slingbox on top. I then ran an ethernet cord from the Sling Link Turbo to the WAN port on the Linksys router behind the TV. Then I ran an ethernet cord from the output ports on the linksys to the Xbox 360 and another cord to the Slingbox.
This is where things got tricky because I had to forward the ports in order for the slingbox to work. I set the TC to reserve the IP 192.168.0.200 for the Linksys router. I set my linksys router to be have a static IP at 192.168.1.200 (not a typo) and I set the DNS Server to 192.168.0.1, which is the TC's router IP. Then I set the port forwarding on the TC to open port 5001 to 192.168.0.200 on all ports, Public and Private UDP and TCP. Then I set the Linksys router to open port 5001 to IP 192.168.1.253, which is the Slingbox.
Do not set any static IP for the Xbox 360, it works great without it and if you set it it probably is not going to work.
Now, hold down the reset button on the Slingbox for 20+ seconds to reset it completely, run through setup, takes about 3-5 minutes, and make the IP address 192.168.1.253 and leave the other settings as is. If it will not work, change the router to either IP 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1, whichever one it did not show up as wanting to be. Then make sure the port is 5001 and you should be good to go on the Slingbox even remote viewing. If you have problems here, pop me an e-mail.
Now for the Xbox 360, plug it in, turn it on, test connection settings, it should work perfectly on all accounts, mine has so far.
I now have a PS3, Wii, Printer, Xbox 360, and Slingbox Pro running on the N connection, I did not have to downgrade the settings to b/g for the Xbox 360 to work. However, my linksys router is old and only supports G, so I'm not sure if my N signal translates through to the Slingbox and Xbox, but they still work great. And the rest of my house can use the N signal with no problem.
If you have any problems please e-mail me and I will try to help as much as I can.
Good luck.

I have a question which I'm hoping you can answer. My dad lives in the states and has a slingbox connected. I live in another country and watch american tv through internet (i.e. through the slingbox he set up). I also have an xbox 360, which is connected to the TV in the living room. Do you know if it's possible to wirelessly stream the computer content (i.e. the slingbox content) to the tv in the living room through the xbox?
Thanks

Using your MacBook Pro as a Router For the Xbox 360

Not sure how many of you guys have 360s, but I've written up a guide to use your MBP as a connection point for the 360. Basically it involves sharing your Airport with the Ethernet port. Here goes.
How to Use a MacBook Pro as an Xbox 360 Internet Hub v.01
This guide is copyright 2006 Jonathan Ferguson.
If you would like to host it, email me at the address below.
All trademarks are copyright their respective owners.
I am not responsible for anything that happens that may screw up your Mac, 360, Internet, or anything else.
By reading further you accept full responsibility for any damages or troubles that occur as a result
of your using this guide. K?
Welcome! I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and did not feel like shelling out 130 dollars for the
360s Wireless Adapter.
Thus I set out to find a solution and it was my shiny new mac that came to the rescue.
I'm positive this can be done in Windows, but I've not taken the time (yet) to test it.
I think it's very simple to follow, but I do recommend that only those with patience and a will to learn attempt the setup.
Also if you don't know how to reset your router, I wouldn't recommend it either. But for the rest, on we go.
You will need these things for this adventure:
Broadband Internet Access
1 Xbox 360
1 CrossOver Cat 5 (NOT Patch, so NOT the one that came with the 360)
1 Macbook Pro (the regular Macbook may work, I haven't tested it)
1 Router with wireless and wired connections or 2 Routers linked together, one wired, one wireless.
Plug the cross cable into the ethernet port on the mac and the ethernet port on the Xbox 360. Turn both on.
Go to your system blade on the 360 into the network settings and go to the Sharing area of the
System Preferences on the MBP.
On the MBP make sure that your Airport Extreme connection is being shared with the Built-In Ethernet
(check the box next to Built In Ethernet and hit the start button at the top.).
Go into Network under System Preferences on the MBP.
Pick Built In Ethernet in the Drop Down menu. Write down the Subnet Mask and IP Address for the adapter,
you'll need that later.
Contact your router by punching it's IP into an internet browser. (I.E: 192.168.1.1).
This is usually the default IP for any router, so if you don't know what it is, try that one.
It'll also ask you for the password and username which are usually:
Login: admin
Pass: password
Login:
Pass: admin
or
Login: admin
Pass:
Once you're in find the DNS Addresses (DNS 1 and 2)
(under LAN not WAN if they're different) and write those down. Now it's time to go back to the Xbox.
In the settings tab you'll find a lot of stuff has been set to automatic.
This will not help you, so start changing the things to manual.
Once you get in there, input each piece of information like so:
IP Address: Have a look at the address of the Ethernet Adapter.
Copy it digit for digit only make the last number lower than the last number of the Ethernet Adapter.
(I.E if the Adapter is 111.211.13.5, make the 360 111.211.13.4)
Subnet: This is the Subnet Mask you got from the Ethernet Adapter.
Gateway: This is the IP address of the Ethernet Adapter (NOT the address of your router)
DNS: These are the DNS numbers you got from your router.
Now, before you allow the Xbox 360 to test the connection, make sure that you have a
wireless internet connection coming in on the mac, and that you're sharing it with the ethernet card.
Also, though I haven't tested it yet, keep the Ethernet card on DHCP. Putting it on manual might mess things up.
Et Voila! Let the 360 run the tests.
There's one test that'll take extra long to do but don't fret, it eventually goes through and works splendidly.
I'll update this as I see fit, and feel free to email me at: [email protected] to add/correct/contribute.

Well that's nice and all, but why not just spend the 50 bucks on a router? Also, why do you need a crossover cable? Modern operating systems do not require crossovers anymore.

Home Hub 4 and Windows Media Center extenders

Hi, I cannot get my PC to see my Xbox as a Media Center extender. This used to work fine on the Home Hub 3. The computer just can't see it at all. Any ideas?

Hi,
just received my homehub 4 a couple of days ago and have been having the same issues, although my network is completely wireless. It's not just a problem with my PC not seeing my XBOX as a media center extender but also with my XBOX not being able to see any UPnP servers on my network. To prove it was the Homehub 4 I connected my old netgear router and everything worked just fine.
What I noticed was that the Windows 7 PC that I was running Windows Media Center from was connecting to the Homehub 4 on a 5GHz channel (new wireless dongle which supports 2.4GHz & 5GHz), the XBOX was connecting on the more normal 2.4GHz channel. You would think that this doesn't matter since ultimately they both connect to the same network but in my case they just wouldn't talk to each other! I followed the instructions here:
http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-Speed-Connection-Issues/BT-home-hub-4-wireless-connection-issue-on-the...
to ensure that the SSID of the 5GHz (e.g. BTHub4-ABCD_5GHz) channel was separated from the 2.4GHz (e.g. BTHub4-ABCD_2_4GHz) one and forced the Windows 7 PC and any other Media Servers to use the 2.4GHz channel rather than the 5GHz one and now all is well. Not an ideal solution as I would have liked to use the 5GHz channel where my hardware allows it but it will do for now.
I think I read further down that your XBOX may have been connected via a cable rather than wirelessly and I don't think there was any mention of how your media centre PC was connected, but if your PC is connected via the 5GHz channel it might still be worth moving it to the 2.4GHz one and trying again.
Cheers

How do I use the Xbox 360 controller

Hello,
As everyone knows the XBOX 360 controller is the definitive controller for Windows gaming.
I'm working on two projects now. One in Flash and one in Unreal Engine. I thought,"Wouldn't it be great to work on three projects at once."
So the idea came to me that a comedic style hockey game could be made in Flash. Flash is great for action games, and the P2P networking(thought could have been done better) is just sufficient to make a good multiplayer experience.
I do not however want an action oriented hockey game without analog sticks. I've gotten the XBOX 360 controller to work in C/C++ in a Tekken Style Open Wolrd Game, and it was great. Where do I get the XBOX360 code to integrate them into a flash game?
,Jim

The GameInput API's for Actionscript 3.0. You can get when you download and install the Adobe Gaming SDK, after that you would need to import the SWC.

Home Hub 3 and 4 Connections Limit ?

Hi All i am very much hoping there is someone expert on issues such as number of connections allowed and home hub interconnecting.
First things first. I had a home hub 3 and it kept on dropping the signal. it went on for several months and many calls to Bangladesh. Very often the problem was fixed and all reunning perfect ...... for a few days sometimes even a week or so. Then it was back to This page cannot be displayed or 'No Internet' in the wifi connection window.
At the beginning the hub would show fault ie the red light would start to flash. I also had a terible phone line with a lot of crackle. One of the 'remote fixes' seemed to cure this and from then on the blue light was always on and for a while the signal remained ok. then it bagan to drop intermittently.
i also have a connection to a remote part of the garden and run a 40 meter Cat 5 cable from a port on the new homehub4 up to the homehub 3 at the other end. When i connect this, the home hub3 in the garden receives Internet no porblem but i loose it at the main hub. no faults are reported and the signal is said to be excellent and 'Internet Access ' is usually displayed.
i can often get the first page but then clicking any links gives a page with cannot connect to this page please check the name etc. if i unplug the lead going down the garden to the homehub3 I get ful connection back.
I think there is more than one problem but for now i just want to fix this bandwidth sharing issue. Surely i should not loose connection as soon as i connect to a slave hub down the garden? it does come and go after then and i will receive the odd batch of email but it is disconnected 80% of the time.
Anyone any idea what sort of a problem this is? if it is bandwidth, can i set a limit on how much will go the the slave homehub3? or can i set priority to the homehub4? or even to a specific IP address ie my laptop?
both hubs use dhcp so i did wonder if there was conflict of IP addresses but i dont see how this can be because my connection comes and goes whereas theremote homehub3 stays perfect connection for skype etc.
Another very interesting aspect was that when i would drop out on the new hub, i could connect to BT WiFi with Fon and got a connection no problem. Yet that connection must be supplied by my homehub4 so how can it supply me through wifi with fon no problem but not a direct wifi connection when i an literally 2 feet from the router?
that element has now vanished because the Bangladesh team finally decided it was the new router and sent an engineer to test it. he concluded it was the router and changed it for one he had with him butthis one does not give any signal for btwifi with fon so I am scr___d !
absolutely anything appreciated. I was an IT professional for many years so dont be shy to use technical terms.
Thanks in advance

Does the Xbox 360 wireless adapter even work with the WRT54G wireless router?!!? If so, how???

I just bought a WRT54G wireless router (Ver 8.0; firmware updated to latest). I have successfully connected my wireless laptop using WEP security, but I'm at wits end trying to get the Xbox 360 wireless adapter to work. (It worked just fine with my Netgear router until that router recently died.)
When I do the "Test Media Connection" routine (you XBox 360 users know what I'm referring to), the Xbox immediately recognizes the Network Adapter and indicates that it is connected to the Wireless Network, but it inevitably fails the next step in the process: IP Address. I have the set-up for the IP address to be assigned automatically by the router (which is set for DHCP Server enabled).
I have gone around the mountain innumerable times myself and then with well-meaning friends who say try this, try that, try this, try that. I've had to re-establish my laptop set-up so many times I wanna scream!
Are the Xbox 360 wireless adapter and the WRT54G even compatible? If so, what am I missing here? I'm not too technical and obviously in over my head, but this ought not be that hard.
Please, please do NOT respond unless you KNOW the answer! I don't mean to be curt, but I'm over / past "suggestions to try."
Thank you VERY much for your time and consideration if you can help me.

I don't think that the X-BOX adapter is not compatible to wireless rotuer .... there are few settings you can try on the router ... Access router setup page ... Please click on the tab "Application and gaming" and click on sub tab "Port range forwarding" 1) On the first line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 88, in end box type in 88, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 2) On the second line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 3074, in end box type in 3074, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 3) Now save the settings 4) Once you return to the setup page, click on the tab "Administration" and disable the UPNP and save the settings. 5) Now assign the given ip address on your xbox ip address :- 192.168.1.20 subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0 default gateway :- 192.168.1.1 Please assign the dns address on the xbox primary dns :- 4.2.2.2 secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1 6) Please try to test your xbox live. Hope it works ...

BT Home Hub 3 and Android 4.2.1 WI-FI issue

Hi, i'm seeing a really annoying issue on my nexus 4 running android 4.2.1. The wireless works perfectly when i am connected at home to the HH3. Everytime i leave the house and go out of the home hubs range, when i return, the BT HH3 shows as "Not in range" even when standing right next to it.
As soon i toggle Wi-Fi off then back on on the nexus 4 it connects instantly with a signal strength of excellent. The hh3 is set to channel 13 and looks to be not conflicting with another router on wifi analyser.
If anyone has seen anything similar on another android device when using a HH3 i would appreciate any feedback or potential fixes.

I have a HTC Desire with Android 2.1, and a home hub 1, and have no problems. Do you have another router you can try, or perhaps use as an extra wireless access point?
I do know that people seem to have problems with the HH3, for some reason, but I cannot see why it should be an issue with an Andriod device, as they normally remember wireless settings.
Channel 13 can cause issues with some devices.

Connecting my iPod to the XBOX 360

I have been trying to connect and share music from my iPod with my XBOX 360 and when i plug my iPod into the USB port it reads the music but it won't let me play the music. I was looking in the manual for the XBOX 360 and it said that I needed to configure the iPod to play the music but it didnt tell me how. If anybody knows it would be greatly appreciated. Thanx!!

Home Hub 3 and iPhone 4 - Problems

Hi all,
Firstly appologies for a double post, I posted in the infinity section in error when here's probably better, so if mods see it they can remove that one, unless someone answers!
Anyways, Just upgraded to infinity and have the home hub 3 after previously using the home hub 2.
The Internet is fine, more than fast enough, however I now have a problem that I didn't have previously with my other devices around the home.
If I'm on the laptop(s) everything behaves as you'd expect, surf, download, stream whatever alls fine. However when my daughter goes online with her wii or ds it stops working/locks up when playing online, but the main problem seems to be mine an my partners iPhone 4's. They will both happily surf the net all day long however if either of us try's to download an app that's over about 25mb then it seems to get to about the 25mb area then just locks up and will not download the rest of the app, also if we go on iPlayer, as an example we will get through about 20-30mins then that too will lock and play no more, YouTube is the same, but not as bad as the films etc are normally small. If I try to play/stream the same thing on either laptop it will play flawlessly.
Now I appreciate it could be that the wii, ds and two iPhones have suddenly stopped working properly, but seeing as they all worked flawlessly when using the home hub 2 I suspect it's the home hub 3 that's causing the issues, especially as the videos etc will play fine when I use the mobile/3G instead as a test.
So anyone else had similar and managed to sort it? Or indeed any ideas, I've already tried changing the wireless channel from 6 to 11 and then to 1, with 11 being the best but still problematic, I could try all the other channels but didn't have the time today before work.
As for security settings, its on WPA-PSK the same as it was on the home hub 2.
So basically right now I'm stumped :-/
Cheers, Rob.

Ok then i've tried a couple of things , with only a marginal improvement.
1. Started with a power cycle, left it all off for about 10mins > made no noticable difference
2. Changed from b/g/n to just b/g as not all devices in house are 'n' rated > again cant say that this made a difference
3. Changed channel to a free one after a inssider scan > this has made a very marginal difference, if indeed its not just fluke.
Using itunes as an example again on the iPhone, with a radio show thats 2hrs long, by the time its played for around 45mins its starting to reach the end of whats been streamed/downloaded, which to be fair with a speed in excess of 20meg the show should have finished downloading long before then, essentially 45 mins to download an hours worth of the show is hardly awe inspiring or indeed right. Again the same show will download and play fully on the laptop.
Im still of the opinion that the hub3 is at fault here, as i never had a single issue using the hub2.
Out of interest can the hub2 be used with infinity and if so how do you wire it, bearing in mind the hub3 has the dedicated red socket, if i can use the hub 2 i can test again and hopefully rule the hub3 or iPhones out of the equation.
Going to try a full/hard/factory reset later, but is there anything else i can try first?
Also failing everything is this suitable to replace the hub3 > http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/belkin-f5d8236uk4-wireless-router-802-11-n-4-port-switch-02417713-pdt....
its compatible with PPPoE, even though we shouldnt have to be replacing hubs etc considering BT provide them specifically for the service.
Cheers, Rob

Home hub 3 and gaming

Hey all im new to bt broadband but have a quick query to ask of anyone who can help.
I live in an area where broadband speeds arent great tbh, when i lived at my parents the download speeds would never go above 1.3 mbps but i assumed that was cos they had a basic bb package with aol. Never the less though even with the poor transfer rates i almost never had a problem with lag when playing games online on my ps3( cod:black ops mainly).
I have now recently moved out and decided to get my bb through bt as they said that they can give my 10mbps for my area although they was honest and said the reality of the speed would more be in the region 0f 6 mbps but this was still very satisfactory for me.
At the mo im only getting 2mbps but im aware it can take up to 10days of my line being monitered at the exchange ( which happens to be a 10 min walk tops from the house) before they increase the speed. This im also fine with but heres my problem. At mum and dads i would almost never get lag at all even with my transfer rates being so low but now im running my wireless off the new home hub 3 and with a slightly better transfer rate than my parents house ive noticed online gaming very laggy indeed. Ive tried port forwarding but that still didnt make a difference.
Can any body else shed some light as to what could be the cause?
Thanks for reading all of the above i know theres quite a bit to read through lol

Hi arnie30uk, as Darren said gaming and wireless is never gonna be great. Have you thought about trying one of the units that use your home power cables e.g.
http://www.google.co.uk/#sclient=psy&hl=en&source=hp&q=network+through+power+outlet&aq=1&aqi=g5&aql=...
Only thing you need to be aware of with most of these is that both units need to be on the same circuit i.e if you have down stairs sockets on one fuse and the upstairs on another then they may not work.

Using the xbox 360 controller in my java application

Wanted to know if there is a way to get the xbox 360 controller or the nintendo wii to work with my java application. Has anyone been able to access either controller using java.
Thanks
GradStudent

nope. you can use jinput to use game controllers... but only game controllers
that can be plugged in and have a driver.
i dont have any game systems, do the controllers have a usb attachment and computer drivers?

Having lag problems on the XBOX 360 - connecting to WRT160N wireless router.

Having lag problems when playing on the XBOX 360(wireless connection) after we installed our new WRT160N wireless router. Looking for ideals on how to fix this performance problem?
Cable Conpany: Comcast
Modem Model: zoom
Wireless Router Model: Linksys WRT160N

A few more thoughts:
- Changing the channel settings does NOT achieve anything. I manually tried every setting with no success.
- Changing the encryption settings did not help. I tried "open", WEP and WPA and none of them work.
- Even when this problem shows up, the xbox360 wireless adapter successfully finds and associates with the wireless network. It even manages to read data from the network - it just does it VERY SLOWLY and disconnects often. This causes extreme lag in xbox live games, which shows up as unpredictable play and disconnects from games.
- The fact that G-only mode works fine pretty much proves that this problem can be fixed with a firmware change. The xbox360 wireless adapter and the WRT160N can definately talk to each other using 802.11g successfully so there must be some issue with negotiating the correct version of 802.11x.
- I've considered trying a third-party firmware, such as DD-WRT to see if this fixes the problem. Has anyone tried this and if so what happened?
If you are seeing this problem, please reply to this thread and say so. If enough people respond perhaps Linksys will fix the problem. Even if you're not registered with this board, registering is very quick and easy so don't let that deter you.
Thanks
