Can't connect to Xbox 360 live with Airport Extreme wirelessly

Just bought Airport Extreme and Xbox 360 slim and we are having trouble connecting wirelessly.
When testing connection on Xbox, some problems:
- MTU setting not high enough
- does not have assigned IP address
Been trying all day and getting frustrated. Any help appreciated.

Unfortunately, the AirPorts do not offer a means to change MTU settings.
Additional Microsoft articles on the topic of MTU that may be helpful:

Can't connect macbook pro to internet with airport extreme

If you have ethernet still on your MBP plug it in by ethernet and tell me if that works.
Tell me how the Airport is setup.. what broadband modem and router you have.
What OS on the laptop? Yosemite I guess.. since it is the most troublesome.
Did it work before whatever change was made? Has it worked in the past? When did it stop and what did you do that coincided with it stopping?
Upgrade to Yosemite??

Xbox 360 LIVE and Airport Extreme Base Unit

Hi,
I can get my XBOX Live Wireless unit to connect to my AEB. However, when I play COD4 (Call of Duty 4) to test the connection it is extremely laggy. I also get a lot of drop-outs...
Is there still not a fix for Airport Extreme -> XBOX Live Wireless Connector Compatibility?
I have 2 xboxes. One connects via a wired Ethernet connection to my Time Capsule, this works fine. However the other one which has to be wireless just seems way to laggy..
At present I have bridged my old Wireless g Router which is a waste of elecricity as far as I am concerned.

I have mine being run wired to my AEBU. Before I bought it I was online trying to find reviews on it for the Xbox. I did come across some wireless workarounds. If you goggle it, I want to say that the router either runs wireless a/n or wireless b/g, like you have to change it to wireless b/g, I'm not %100.

Can I connect my Linksys WRT160N V3 with Airport Extreme via ethernet cable?

I have a Linksys WRT160N V3 router (Living Room) to my cable modem but the wifi does not reach certain spots in the house where its necessary. If I buy a Airport Extreme and place it in my bedroom and connect it with an ethernet cable that I have connected with my iMac will the airport extreme work as a wifi extender since wifi does not reach my room?

Yes, the AE can be simply put in bridge mode so it will become an AP and set the wireless to create a wireless network.. you can then use same name and same security as linksys.. this is called roaming network.

Although the apple instructions have two apple routers, any two wireless routers will work the same way.

Can I connect a wi-fi antenna with Airport Extreme?

I use my apartment's WI-FI signal to get internet using a wi-fi antenna. So basically my question is, can I simply plug in the antenna (uses a usb cable) to the airport extreme?
I tried doing just that, used my laptop to login to the airport extremem...then tried to get on the internet that way, but it doesn't work. So it appears that I need a modem attached to the airport extreme. Is my logic correct?

Trying to connect an XBOX 360 to my airport base station via ethernet cabl

Hello,
I have the older snow airport base station and was trying to connect my xbox 360 to it via an ethernet port. There are only 2 ethernet ports on the snow base station. one is being used by the cable coming from my dsl modem. the other free port i tried plugging into my xbox 360 to no avail. the xbox cant get an ip address. the open ethernet port on the base station is labeled with the circle logo. the one being used by my dsl modem has the two outer pointing arrows. I turned off the airport to my macbook and tried to connect my macbook to that port my xbox was in and it would not connect to the net either. Is it possible, i have the ports backwards. my wireless internet for all 3 mac computers works fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks!!!
Vinny

Yes, you have the ports connected backwards.
The WAN port is labelled with the "circle of dots" icon, and must be connected to your DSL modem.
The LAN port is labelled with the "double-headed arrow" icon, and that is where you connect ethernet cabled devices on your LAN.
See Apple's article AirPort Base Station: About the WAN and LAN Ports
What is surprising is that you haven't previously run into all sorts of problems with your existing setup. Once you cable things properly, you will likely have to power down your DSL modem and Base Station for a while (sometimes just an instant, sometimes overnight). After waiting, plug the modem into power and wait a minute. Then plug the base station into power and wait for it to restart.

Can I connect a network storage device to Airport Extreme or Express?

I have a wireless network with an Airport Extreme base station and 2 Airport Express network extenders and would like to add a network storage device to the network so our whole family can access it for backups and storage.
Can I connect a USB or etherent storage device(hard drive) to one of the ports on the extreme or express and have it show up on all of our desktops like our printers do?
If not--Is there another to accomplish what I need?
Thanks!

You can ethernet storage, but not USB storage.

Can my external hard drive be viewed with airport extreme

looking to get an airport extreme to allow my mac air to use the wireless connection to link to it. Is this doable?

Of course. The USB port of the AirPort Extreme allows you to connect a printer or external drive and share it with all the PCs and Macs connected to your AirPort Extreme.
When you connect the external drive to the AirPort Extreme, it will appear as a network drive. To access to it, open a Finder window and select the external drive in the Finder sidebar, under "Shared"

Cant connect on xbox 360 chat with my friend

i cant connect with just one of my friends on xbox 360 is there like a gaming mode i change to make so i can?

Ok we have done everything we can think of on our WRT54G router including
Set static IP address on the xBox
Enabled DMZ with xBox static IP address
Port forwarding NOT enabled
MTU at 1364
QoS "Highest" for Mac address of Xbox 360
Security , "Filter IDENT (Port 113)" is the only one checked
Upgraded firmware
and either hard wired or wireless connected get "Can't connect to the Xbox LIVE Party."
every thing else works fine.
Only way it works is to connect the xBox directly to the DSL Modem
Any help?

WRT160N V2 - Connecting TWO Xbox 360's with OPEN NAT...a nightmare. :(

Need to run two Xbox 360's on a WRT160N V2 both with open NAT.
This must be possible...somehow.
I've tried a few times through the linksys support chat (which seems to be gone now?) to get this working properly but always fails. I've got my http://192.168.1.1/ open, so please if anyone knows how this works that'd be just awesome.
Both 360's are connected via wire. We want to be able to play the same games at the same time in the same party while both having an open NAT. Right now only one of us can have an open NAT while the other has a Moderate or Strict. We have plenty of speed, but that stupid NAT makes it nearly impossible for us to connect to games together. Then even when we DO connect to a server/lobby it takes forever for that lobby to fill up with other players as they can't connect to US. Painfully annoying.
I DID do a search of this very forum and found a thread or two, but they are very long and I am having a hard time filtering what is correct or not. Too many people saying different things with no reponses as to whether or not their solution worked. I'm still reading through them, I'm not a technician in any sense and don't want to mess it up more than it already seems to be. I am capable of reading/following instructions, so if anyone knows I'll give you all my "One Free Internet" coupons.

You can try this link and it will help you in setting up your XBOX with your Router. And for your 2nd XBOX Enable DMZ and assign a Static IP to your XBOX.

my wireless-b router works perfectly on my desktop but it can't seem to connect to my xbox 360. how can i fix this?

To make your XBOX work fine wirelessly with your Router, you need to make some changes on your Router as well as on your Router i think this might solve the problem...

Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done...
2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...

5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox Primary dns :- 4.2.2.2...Secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1
6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...
IP Address: 192.168.X.[last part of ip in your device] e.g. if static ip given to the device was 192.168.X.10 get the last part and put that to the empty box.

Can't connect to X-Box live with Air Port Extreme

I just can't figure out how to connect my X-Box (original/first X-Box) to X-Box Live using my Airport Extreme. I am using an X-Box wireless modem. X-Box live phone help told me I needed to contact Apple and have them "Open three NAT Ports: 1. UDP 88, 2. UDP 3074, and 3. TCP 3074. Then to enable UPNP." WHAT?? Since I do not have Apple Care, they are unwilling to help me. I have tried manually entering the IP address and Subnet into my X-Box, but then the X-Box tells me there is no "Gateway" something or other. And I can't seem to find the "Gateway" on my Mac in Airport settings. Can anyone help?
-Thanks!

Acces setup page of router .....
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.

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.

WRT54G v6 can't connect to Xbox 360

I plug my xbox 360 into my router and the link light will periodically blink as though it is trying to connect. I checked the cable it is good, I even used a different cable and it still did the same thing. When I check my xbox live status it just says network adapter disconnected. Any help would be great. Just got this xbox 360 2 days ago and want to use it online!

Connect the Xbox to your computer put static ip addresses on the two devices. And check if you get the same message.

Can't connect to router and network with Airport on G4

Just upgraded from a Belkin Wireless G router (c. 2004) to a Belkin Wireless N. Problem is that one of my old G4's can't get on. The security with the old router was WPA, and it worked. But the new router is WPA/WPA2-PSK, and the G4 with the Airport card running OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) only asks for WEP. How do I get on?

Hi Odell,
Some old G4 Airport cards cannot do WPA2, but to see what choices you have...
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed. See Security choices there.
