Compatible linksys router for multiple xbox 360

Are there any models of linksys routers that will support multiple xbox 360 online at same time?
Any and all models that would work is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance

I believe all Linksys routers should work with multiple Xbox consoles. But here are my top three routers: WRT1900AC, EA9200, and EA6900.
Also, keep in mind that it is not recommended to play two Xbox 360 units on the same network connected to the same game server since the modem will only generate a single WAN IP address. However, you may secure another WAN IP address from your ISP to connect the two Xbox 360.

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.

WRT300N support for multiple XBOX 360's

Hi! I need to go pre-N for greater wireless speeds, and went for the Belkin Pre-N v2000; however it's uPNP implementation isn't that great, meaning I need to rely on DMZ to allow my XBOX 360 to work on LIVE.
What I would like to know is does the WRT300N support mutlple simulatneous XBOX 360's, all connecting to Live (I think the max is 4)? Since Linksys have some certified routers, I'm hoping it will but I don't want to make the same mistake again!
regards
Tim

yes, i think it does...
use port triggering instead to open the ports for the Live instead of forwarding or DMZ....
the quick and the dead

I have a airport apple router for my xbox live but and on my xbox live my NAT type is 'strict' how do i change it to 'open'

help

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!
The following web blog does a great job explaining the NAT issues with 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 AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > NAT
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 88
UDP 3074
TCP 3074
To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the Xbox 360.
AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > DHCP tab
Click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
Reserve address by: MAC Address
Click Continue.
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>
Click Done.
2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > NAT > Configure Port Mappings
Click the "+" (Add) button
Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
Public UDP Port(s): 88, 3074
Public TCP Port(s): 3074
Private IP Address: <enter the DHCP Reserved IP address for the Xbox you created earlier>
Private UDP Port(s): 88, 3074
Private TCP Port(s): 3074
Click "Continue"

Using the Mac as a wireless Bridge for the Xbox 360

Want to use your Mac essentially as a wireless adapter for an Xbox 360 or any console? plug in the ethernet cable between the two devices and follow the setup process!
Wireless Bridge setup process
1. Open system Preferences.
2. Clisk sharing, then the internet tab and select Airport as the “share your connection from” then select the Built-in Ethernet in the list.
3. Open up the terminal Application and type ifconfig en0 in the window it sohuld display an outcome like this
ifconfig en0
en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
ether 00:16:cb:cc:80:aa
media: autoselect status: inactive
supported media: autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,flow-control> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 100baseTX <full-duplex,flow-control> 1000baseT <full-duplex> 1000baseT <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 1000baseT <full-duplex,flow-control> none
4. This gives you the information of what your computer’s IP address is. On the xbox dashboard in the network setup screen select manual and select the top section which contains the IP address, subnet mask, and Gateway address, for the IP address, input the Highlighted section above plus one, so its 192.168.2.1 (this is for standard configurations, again, just add one to the last digit of your IP address.
5. Open Airport Admin Utility, the select configure on your airport. Then select the Internet tab This will give you your subnet Mask, input accordingly.
6. For the Gateway address, you are going to put in the value in the blue box. This is because you are using your Computer as a gateway, therefor you need to tap into its connection.
So For the Average setup you will use:
IP Address: 192.168.2.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway Address: 192.168.2.1
7. Now for the DNS server, this varies according to What internet service you have, but, Airport admin utility provides the answer, right below the information we used above, you will see DNS Server. viola! Put that in as your primary DNS server in the second box of edit options in the network menu.
Now you should be complete, test the connection and you should be Ready to Go!! Happy Gaming!

Welcome to the discussions, DanSwiggsD!
If you have a non-Apple device as your main router, unfortunately the AirPort Extreme has almost no chance of compatibility with your main router.
If you do have an Apple router as your main device, please post back with your model number and we'll let you know how your devices should be configured.
If you don't have an Apple device as your main router you have a few options to connect the xbox:
1) A pair of ethernet powerline adapters could be used if you did not want to run a regular ethernet cable from your main router to the xbox.
2) The new AirPort Express 802.11n model does have a feature called Proxy STA which should allow it to receive a wireless signal from any wireless router and allow the ethernet port to be enabled.

Using Airport Extreme as a wireless adapter for an xbox 360 and/or computer

I have a wifi network that is successfully broadcasting internet, i also have a spare Airport Extreme that i would like to use as a wireless adapter for my xbox 360.
My Existing network is being broadcast from a D-Link modem so it doesn't support "extending a network" with airport extreme
What i want to achieve is:
Wifi Internet being broadcast by d-link, received by Airport Extreme WIRELESSLY, then sent via a WIRE to my xbox 360's ethernet port so that i can access internet on my xbox 360.
Unfortunately:
My Xbox 360 doesn't have built in wireless
Connecting to the d-link network wirelessly (with the airport extreme) doesn't seem to give me a wired internet connection (from the airport extreme)
I don't want to extend the network wirelessly
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance to any users who know how to solve my (probably simple) problem

How do I reserve an IP address for my XBOX 360 based on it's MAC settings??

How do I reserve an IP address for my XBOX 360 based on it’s MAC settings??
I went to Airport utility and went to DHCP tab under Internet. I have my wired MAC address from my Xbox 360, now where do I type it in?
Apparently this gives a more permanent IP to the 360 console, enabling me to get on Xbox Live.
Please clarify exactly how to reserve an IP address for my 360 based on its MAC settings.
Thanks

If you don't know you Xbox's ip address it can be found on your console Network settings, select your connection, then select configure network, under basic setting will your ip address, remember that, Step 6: Click Add Step 7: Restart Xbox, everything should be running smoothly online Step 8: Profit!

E2000 NAT Problems for Multiple Xbox Consoles

Hey there.
My brothers and I recently all split the cost of a new E2000 Linksys router. I just got it home and set it up and it solved most of the issues we had been having with our Xbox's (kicking us offline, not allowing sign ins, etc.) which was wonderful. But now, we all hopped on to play a game and saw that one of us had an Open NAT, and the other two had Strict NAT's. I checked around a few posts here and followed a few instructions, and successfully got the 2 Strict NAT's to turn into Moderate NAT's. The only issue is thats still not enough. With a Moderate NAT, it isn't allowing me to join voice parties with my friends, simply stating it can't connect. It is driving me insane. Does anyone have any form of helpful hint for us? Remember, its for THREE Xbox's, running at the same time most of the time. I called Linksys and (after checking through his references) they told me it was a physical impossibility for 3 Xbox's to play on one router, but wouldn't explain to me how it had been working without a hitch, prior to recent problems, for 2 years So if anyone has an idea as to how I can get this working for the three of us, you'd have my undying gratitude. Thanks in advance!

I think you might have forwarded the ports on the router for the IP address of the Xbox. Instead of port forwarding use port Triggering. Change the MTU size to 1365. Disable the UPnP. Go to Security tab and uncheck the box 'Filter anonymous internet request'.

Just got the WRE for my Xbox 360 but I am having problems

Hello everyone, I just got my first WRE today. I auto configured it and I now have 2 solid blue lights. I have a Linksys Wireless-G Cable Gateway Model # WCG200-CC. Im getting four full green bars in my room, but it has the same SSID as my other network is that how its supposed to be? When I test my Xbox Live connection it says the IP address failed, so i am guessing there is something wrong? I have been reading about fixes and have read something about a static IP address. Do I need to set this and if so how? I have no idea what I am doing whatsoever since this is my first WRE, so any detailed help is much appreciated.
EDIT: I forgot to say it was a version 3 WRE.
Message Edited by HackjobJonny on 08-14-2008 03:25 PM

when you autoconfigure the wre54g, it will actually copy the settings of the ap nearest to it except if there is security settings configured on the ap.
not much familiar with xbox live cause im more of a psp addict
anyway, if xbox 360 has some sort of an ssid scanner, it should see the 2 same ssids but it should see the mac address of the ap and the expander as well. if you applied wireless security on your wcg200, you should set the same security settings on the wre54g. then try reconnecting to the expander again. if the wcg and wre synchronized then there's no need for you to assign a static ip on your 360.

E2000 Router problems with Xbox 360

Here is my setup.....
I have 2 wireless computers and 2 wired Xbox connecting to my router
This is the issue...
One on computer I'm getting 19mbs download and 4mbs upload and the other I'm getting 6mbs download and 3mbs upload.
The Xbox, Neither of them have a good strong connection to the router, Neither of them have open NAT types and all cables running from the router the both Xbox are high performace gold connection wires.
Any Suggestions on how to fix the NAT types on both Xbox and get my download speed and upload speed on the slow computer up to the performace of the other??
Please Help!!!

I saw a similar thread but the router used was E3000. Check it out and see if it works for you as well.

Linksys WRT160N v2 and Xbox 360 LIVE problem

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n44RLYjoP7U
i've opened ports 53,88,3074,80, but it didn't help
i've also set MTU to 1452 and everything what it already said on this site.
check the link, for more info.
Please help me.
Before this one, I had WRT54G and it was the same.
Oh, and I'm using an original wireless adapter.
My router firmware is 2.0.02.

I think you need to change some settings on your router as well as on your XBOX 360 to make them communicate with each other. Here are some settings which you can try it on your XBOX as well as on your Router...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
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 53, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
2) On the second line in Application box type in PQR, in the start box type in 88 and End box type in 88, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
3) On the third line in Application box type in XYZ, in the start box type in 3074 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 and click on Save Settings...
4) 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) Click on set-up and change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...
6) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox
IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
7) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox
Primary dns :- 4.2.2.2...Secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1
8) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
9) 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...

WRT54G - How do i make my router find my xbox 360 wireless adapter?

Can someone please help me? My wireless adapter is not getting anything. My ipod gets wifi from the router but no my xbox.

All you need to do is forward ports on the router for XBOX-360 you got from the XBOX provider for the assigned static ip address & do the complete network power cycle & you will be able to play the games wirelessly!!!
