Configuring xbox 360 w/ router

I am trying to configure my xbox 360 to my wireless router and am having a little trouble. Any advice will be appreciated.

Still Havin some problem try this ....
Connecting Xbox To The Wireless NEtwork / Wired Network
needed to Go to the System area of the Xbox Dashboard.
Select Network Settings.
Select Test Xbox Live Connection.
The system will perform a series of diagnostic tests, the results of which can help you configure your network to access Xbox Live.
In each case, the More Info section will offer tips for correcting the conditions preventing you from accessing Xbox Live.
any test failed is a point of concern.
In most of the cases i dealt, i provided the Static Ip address to XboX console as in
e:g 192.168.1.55/192.168.1.1 ....
and tested the Connection ....It worked for Me !
To Provide Static ip on Xbox , Tell user to access Edit Settings option !
In edit settings user will find Three or four options Which should be either automatic or manual
1. IP address - Automatic/manual - select manual and give static inf
2. DNS - Automatic/Manual - select manual and give static inf
3. MTU - Automatic (alwayz-important)
Test the xbox live connection , it Has to work after these settings.
This Article Is By me .
happy Gaming n hope it works for u.
~~~Nobudy's Perfect , i try To Be So ! Each n every moment of maH LYF , AND I THINK dat wats make Me "Different" From others....~~~

Or just read below:
PS3, XBOX 360, PC GAMING
Router Guide and Modem Guide
Introduction:
Having issues trying to get your PS3, or XBOX 360 from Strict, or Moderate NAT? Want to get Type 2, "Open" status? Then follow this guide step for step.
(Please refer to your manual or other posts if you are unsure how to access a certain step, or post a quick reply on the forum. You can usually access your Linksys router via Internet Explorer by typing 192.168.1.1 - password is usually admin, username blank or admin as well.)
All of these steps were performed on the following test setup:
1 - Laptop PC (Windows XP)
1 - PS3 Console
1 - Motorola Cable Modem (SB6120)
1 - Linksys Router (WRT310N V1)
Firmware Update:
1)   Download the latest firmware for your router
2)   Install firmware onto router.
3)   Wait 1 minute after it has finished
4)   Unplug your Cable or DSL Modem's power, and ALL other devices that connect to the router. Leave them off.
5)   Click the "Reset to factory defaults" button in the router."
6)   Wait 1 minute after the lights stop flashing erratically.
7)   Physically go to the router, using a pointed object press the "Reset" button and HOLD for 30 seconds, then release.
8)   Access the router interface (example: 192.168.1.1)
Quick Tips and Information:
*The following settings are assuming you are now at "Default" settings. If you are not, than some settings may have been overlooked and you may have the wrong settings.
*You MUST use a WIRED connection for these steps. You can even use your PS3 or Xbox 360, and use the browser to access the router if your console is a wired connection. That is what I had to do, because my laptop is wireless only.
*The biggest mistake people make, is not clicking "Save Settings" at the bottom of each page, before moving to the next section. You MUST click "Save Settings" on each little page. Including the sub-pages. This is a huge deal. Even though the settings will "Stay" how you clicked them, they do not actually go into effect unless you hit "Save Settings" on every page.
*At this stage, any unnecessary devices must be turned off. Only the router and one device should be connected through wired Ethernet. Use that device to perform the following steps:
SETUP > Basic Setup
9)   Internet Connection Type: Automatic DHCP
10) MTU: Manual, 1500
11) DHCP Server: Enabled
12) Start IP Address: 192.168.1.2
13) Maximum Number of Users: 2 (set for how many devices you have. 1 laptop, 1 ps3 = 2)
14) Client Lease Time: 0
15) Time Zone: Set for your time, and "Check" automatically adjust for daylight savings.
*Click “Save Settings” before moving to another tab.
16) DDNS and Mac Address Cloning tabs should have "Disabled" option set.
*Click “Save Settings” before moving to another tab.
WIRELESS > Basic Wireless Settings
17) Change to "Manual"
18) Network Mode: Wireless-G Only (My laptop is wireless and has a G-card. Set accordingly)
19) SSID: set this to something you like: (example Pro Gamer)
20) Standard Channel: 11
21) SSID Broadcast: Disabled
22) Wireless Security and Mac Filter tabs should have "Disabled" option set.
      *Click “Save Settings” before moving to another tab.
WIRELESS > Advanced Wireless Settings
23) AP Isolation: Disabled
24) Frame Burst: Enabled
25) Basic Rate: All
26) Transmission Rate: 54 Mbps (I am using wireless G. Set accordingly, but do not use auto.)
27) CTS Protection Mode: Disabled
      *Click “Save Settings” before moving to another tab.
SECURITY > Firewall
28) SPI Firewall Protection: Disabled
29) "Uncheck" ALL options: Filter Anonymous Internet Requests, Filter Multicast, Filter Internet NAT Redirection, Filter          IDENT, Proxy, Java, Active X, Cookies.
      *Click “Save Settings” before moving to another tab.
30) VPN Pass-through tab: should have everything "Enabled"
      *Click “Save Settings” before moving to another tab.
APPLICATION AND GAMING > All Tabs
31) Skip this section for now, however if you did NOT reset your router to defaults before beginning. UNDO anything you         already have enabled on each of the five tabs.
ADMINISTRATION > Management
32) Router Password: change to something you use
33) Web Utility Access via Wireless: Disabled
34) Remote Management: Disabled
35) UPnP: Disabled. Including the 2 options below it.
      *Click “Save Settings” before moving to another tab
36) On the Diagnostics tab, click "Reboot" (may be located on very first page under “Setup”)
37) Restart whatever machine you are currently using to do this.
38) Turn on all devices that will be connecting to the router, except the cable/dsl modem.
39) Log into the router with your new password. On the first, page you should see "DHCP Reservation" click this. At the top, you should see one device named PS3-something probably numbers. If it is blank but there is an IP address, that is okay too. Click the box to the right side of it. Your other devices should be there too, such as laptops and consoles, etc. Click the box next to each of them. Then Click, "Add Clients" Now you have just assigned a Static IP Address without going through the hassle of doing it manually. Now you will always have the same IP Address for each device.
      *Click “Save Settings” before moving to another tab
40) Go to "Application and Gaming" click on the "DMZ" tab. Change DMZ to "Enabled."
Source IP Address: "ANY"
41) Now for the most important part. Most people use destination IP Address. However, if for some reason your IP address of your device changes, well then you are screwed. So instead, click MAC Address, then click "DHCP Client Table" and then "Select" the device that you GAME on, such as PS3 or Xbox360. Click "Close."
      *Click “Save Settings” before moving to another tab
***** IF you game on multiple devices, such as a desktop computer, and a ps3. You must DISABLE DMZ, and instead ENABLE UPnP. Please be sure to also enable the 2 options right Below UPnP. Many people do not enable the third, and sometimes even the second option. This causes hosting/joining issues, as the ports do not open/close properly. If you only have 1 gaming device, DMZ is the better choice. However, if you game on more than 1 device, use UPnP.
***** DO NOT ENABLE DMZ & UPnP TOGETHER.
42) Go to "Administration" > "Diagnostics" > "Reboot"
43) Restart ALL devices (Except cable/dsl modem) then connect them to the router.
44) I would connect my laptop now, by using the dell wireless manager I have, use the wizard to find "Non-Broadcasting"       devices. Then I manually type in my SSID: (Pro Gamer) it pops up. Click "Connect,” then "Lock" then "Apply"
45) For my PS3 I turn it on, go to Network Settings, then Connection Settings, "CUSTOM"
      Leave everything Automatic or "Default" except for these:
      MTU: 1500 / UPnP: Disabled (If DMZ is enabled on the router) / UPnP: Enabled (If UPnP is enabled on the router)
If your console (ps3/xbox360) was the wireless device, then simply select, "Wireless" and click manual SSID type "Pro Gamer" or whatever your SSID is, then continue with the rest of the settings. Security should be none/disabled.
ALMOST DONE!
This next tip is almost completely UNKNOWN by the gaming community. However, it is spectacular. Did you know the cable companies increase their speeds over time for FREE? Here is how to get your free upgrade. Even if your speed does not change, this will upgrade your Cable Modem's firmware! (DSL modems must be done manually, check online.)
Use a 7/16 wrench if connections are too tight.
While the Modem is OFF, unscrew the coax cable from the modem. PAY ATTENTION to this step. Now unscrew the other side from the wall or splitter. Then, REVERSE them. Reconnect the coax cable to your modem using the OTHER side (the one that was plugged into the wall), and vice versa. Make sure they are snug, but do not over tighten.
What does this do? Well I do not know the exact inner workings, but my friend who works for Comcast told me about this trick. It forces their system to re-register your Cable Modem. So now, you get a new IP Address, and it forces your modem to check for the latest firmware update. Along with that, come your increased speeds for FREE.
a)   Now, plug in the power to your modem. Wait until all lights are steady.
b)   Then go to your computer, (Do not use the PS3 or Xbox for this step)
c)   Type 192.168.100.1 (might be different for your modem, Google it)
d)   This is your MODEM's page.
e)   Look around for an option that says, "Reset to Defaults"
f)   Click "Reset to Defaults"
g)   Wait 30 seconds. It will not do anything.
h)   Now, you must click the other option, "Restart Cable Modem"
It will now clear out the memory, check for new firmware, get an updated IP address, and hopefully give you improved speeds!
That is all. Happy gaming! Visit www.speedtest.net and www.pingtest.net to test your connections.

Hey thanks for this, but one thing I have to ask is about the modem part. I unhook the cables and reversed them and then turned on the modem the lights are on and stable now. I have a sb6121 and when the modem is completely active it goes green, blue, blue, green, which is power, downstream, upstream and then online. But when I did what you said it is green, blue, "green"!, green. So since its different do I wait for the upstream to turn back to blue, or do I have to call comcast and give them the mac address again? I have been waiting for 5 mins so far and don't want to restore defaults and restart till I know I should for sure.

WRT160N V3 Xbox 360 trouble router randomly resetting PLEASE HELP

For Christmas 2009, I received the wrt160n v3 Linksys by Cisco router. This router worked fine until about early November of 2010, when I would turn on my xbox to play a multiplayer game, and the router would randomly reset and i would lose my connection, as well as all the computers connected to the router would lose their connection to the internet. I actually sent that one back to linksys through an rma and received a new one of the same model and version, and I am still having the same problem. The router even resets when I am not on my xbox, simply just on my laptop. It is incredibly frustrating and cannot seem to find any help on the internet. Does anyone else have this problem? Are there any solutions? Is it my router or could it be my xbox screwing everything up? Any help is welcome, thank you very much

nevermind my router just reset while playing xbox. mtu is 1365, i unchecked that box, and opened my nat type, and it still reset. im starting to get extremely dissatisfied with your products

WRE54G + WRT54G + Xbox 360 Problems

I recently plugged my WRE54g back in to try and improve the signal strength in my basement, where my xbox 360 is (router is on 2nd floor). Got the extender working, all blue lights, signal seems to be stronger. However, the xbox fails the xbox live and media tests at the IP category, so something is wrong in the IP address area. I have tried changing the router's IP to match the extender's, resulting in problems on every computer in the house, so i set it back to 192.168.1.1. Then, I tried setting the extender's IP to 192.168.1.2 (after very much difficulty, the extender setup page freezes and says it lost connection whenever I make a change, still having the problem), yet my xbox still fails the test even though the extender IP is within the range of the router. I have no idea what to try now, I have tried googling every possible combination of words to try and find help, and have gotten nowhere. So if anyone could help, please, please, do so!

"Nothing but red light of death on the extender. Is it supposed to have the same SSID, channel # and security code as the router?"
answer: yes
heres something i found for you.I hear they haven't made any expanders for the N series yet. but follow this guide i found, and you might get it to work.
First of all the computer or laptop MUST be hardwired to the router.
Second, the WRE54G MUST also be hard wired to the router.
Then, reset the WRE54G by pressing the reset button for at least 30 seconds. (You probably get a blue and red steady light....that is fine). Hopefully, if all goes right, this will allow you to now communicate with the WRE54G. (Auto Configuration is not possible).
Now to test this: Go into your start menu and click on "Run" and type in the comannd "CMD"....This will give you a DOS prompt window. Now type in "Ping 192.168.1.240" (this is the preset IP Address of the WRE54G.) At this point you will get several lines of numbers and stuff...ignore everything except at the bottom where it say's "Packets: Sent = 4, Recieved = 4, Lost = 0 0% loss>. If this is the case then you are looking good!
Now, open a web browser and type in 192.168.1.240 and wait for the Linksys page to come up from your WRE54G.....when/if this does come up then you have won the battle!
Next, and this is also VERY IMPORTANT. In the configuration of your WRE54G the SSID MUST be the same as your router!!!! Otherwise they will not communicate with each other. Also the channels should be the same. Now click on "save setting", and it this time or shortly there after you should have 2 blue lights on your WRE54G. At this time you can unplug it and place it anywhere in your house!
Please note: at the time of all this configuration my security on my router was disabled and later also on my expander.

XBOX 360 & TC

Can someone please confirm that the latest FW Update for the TC resolved the problem of not being able to use the Microsoft Wireless adapter with TC in 802.11n mode?
It's a hassle to have to run the TC in 802.11b-only mode....
Thanks!

I don't know if the Xbox 360 wireless router works with the Airport Extreme but you should get the Airport Express for your Xbox 360 Router. It is the same price as that router. What is also good is that is a wired connection and uses wifi n network so it is fast the microphone voice is crystal clear. Anyway, use a ethernet cable to connect the Xbox to the express and connect the express to the extreme as 'Join Network' and make sure it says allow ethernet connections underneath the Airport Express. It worked for me.

Wireless kicks off laptop when xbox 360 turns

I have been having this problem for about the last month where when I turn on my xbox 360 my router will kick my fiancees laptop off the wireless. I have a wrt54g v8 router and the wireless has been working perfectly up until this. Anyone have any suggestions??

Open the setup page of router using 192.168.1.1...check the firmware on router's status page if it is not 8.00.5 upgrade it to the latest firmware...reset the router for 30 secs...power cycle complete network. Now, once you have done this settings make sure you forward the ports 80 & 3074 for the static ip address you assign to your XBOX-360....it will definately work.

WRT54G Issues with Xbox 360

Okay, I got this Wireless router so that my family could get more then one computer eventually. Now we only have one computer still but we have added an Xbox 360 to our network recently. However, the version 6 that we bought is not on xbox 360 compatible router list and encounters some problems. Namely that it causes some of my friends games to be unjoinable and doesn't allow chatting with them. I need to figure out how to get this router to be able to work at full efficiency with my 360 or else I will constantly be hooking and unhooking the DSL cable and directly connecting to my modem. I'm curious if running it as a router instead of a gateway may help with this. I'm also curious if anyone has already fixed this problem. Any more data needed by you I will gladly provide. Oh, also, the ISP is Windstream.

Wired xbox 360 controller used for PC

I have tried literally everything I can think of, I searched it, and a resounding solution were these steps:
1) Download the drivers from "Can't post links yet"
2) Choose Gaming > Xbox 360 Controller for Windows > Windows 7 64 bit > English.Don't run the drivers. Save them to a folder. (Or Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows depending on your controller)
3) Right click the Xbox360_64Eng file in the folder you downloaded to and click "create shortcut"
4) Right click the shortcut you created. Select properties.
5) On the compatibility tab in properties, click "Run this program in compatibility mode" ChooseWindows Server 2008 Service Pack 1 as the compatibility mode. Apply setting and click ok.
6) Right Click on the shortcut and select "Run as administrator"
7) With your controller plugged in go to Device Manager. You should see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class. It located under Mice and other pointing if you do, you have arrived. If you don't, try this.
Continue only if you don't see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class in Device Manager
8) Right click the unknown device that shows a problem.
9) Update Driver Software > Browse My computer for Driver Software > Let Me Pick from a List of Drivers
10) Choose Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class > XBOX 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows
I have tried the steps in order countless times. tried many different compatability modes, and to no avail am I able to get the "Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class" to show up. so I continue through the next 3 steps (8-10) and
the option listed in step 10 is not available. and I have been trying to fix this since 7:00 AM this morning.....

Hi,
Are we download the driver from the following link?

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.

Linksys E3000 Wireless Router, Xbox 360, 5GHz and 802.11n

Please could someone help - I'm tearing my hair out!!
When I set up a 5GHz 802.11n or mixed a/n SSID, my XBox can't connect to it, even with security disabled. It just says can't connect to wireless network. It can connect to a 2.4GHz SSID as 802.11g (not n). I've already reported the issue to Microsoft and also tried all the obvious things (I work with computer networks) and nothing works. It can see the network after a scan and, if I disable security, it will even warn me that security is disabled, but it just can't connect. Tried everything I can think of, including different channel widths, channels, USB ports and static IP configuration, to no avail.
Here are the details:
Router firmware version: 1.0.04
XBox version: Elite
NIC: Microsoft Wireless N Network Adapter (black, two antennae)
I've reported the issue to Micrsoft Support and they're not sure what the problem is either.

Maybe it's a compatibility issue. You and this guy have the same issue. But I'm not sure if you guys have the same adapter.

Wireless router/Print Server w/ Ethernet Xbox 360

Hey yall,
So I'm on day 2 of my new life as a "Mac guy". Threw down on a G5 and am pretty stoked. Still stock - I'm going to get another GB of RAM and AppleCare soon - and I'm also looking to get everything running wirelessly, including my HP PSC 1510 printer. I currently have Qwest DSL (1.5MB down), which I have configured wirelessly but don't have the router to print wirelessly. I have a 1-bdrm cabin w/ a loft, so I'd like to have the router/printer upstairs and just this pimp machine downstairs for all to see. I also have a Xbox 360 upstairs that I'd like to be able to connect via Ethernet to the router. The Airport Extreme BS would work - but it's 2 bills. Would this US Robotics Router w/ Print Server work?
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?TabPage=overview&sku=A0474 840&c=us&l=en&cs=19
I'd want to be able to return my rented router to Qwest - would this be one-stop shopping for me? Run internet/print service to the G5 downstairs and hardwire in my 360 upstairs? If so, that would be sweet. Also, the router says any USB printer would work - is that true? The HP PSC 1510 ain't exactly high-end - but I've also not opened it yet and would return it to get something that would work. Thanks a lot for any help, this fruity computer is pretty sweet!!

iMac G5 2.1 GHz w/ iSight

Hello,
Congratulations on your new Mac! My setup is similar to your own. I have my computer (iMac G5) hooked up wirelessly and I provide internet to my PS2 from the LAN hookup on the router.
I'm sorry that I can't give you an answer to the usefulness of the US Robotics router but, I can give you my experience with an Airport Express Base Station. I was fortunate enough to get one as a gift for Christmas and have been up and running ever since. ^^
First and foremost the Airport Express Base Station or AEX is Apple made and quite frankly works the best with your computer. You can plug your printer into it and also share your internet with your XBox 360 through the Ethernet port.
Though not as expensive as the Airport Extreme Base Station it is still about twice as expensive as the US Robotics one you labeled in your post. That is my setup in a nutshell except I don't have the XBox 360. ;p (jealous)
I just wanted to provide you a tested and tried solution that works. Good luck and wish you the best with your new setup. I know you are going to enjoy it and I agree about showing off your iMac, they are sweet looking.
Best Regards,

Help! need good configuration for xbox 360 using WRT54GS2.

today i bought the WRT54GS2 to use for my lptop desktop and 360. it works great for my 2 computers but not for the xbox. when i play i have crappy signal and lgg lot. the thing is when i look on the configuration in the xbox it shows 3-4 bars constint. so i tried using this link here to do port forarding and i used myxbox 360 static adress like they said. but im still lagging. im not sure what my NAT settings are set on because i havnt seen a warning yet. so im asking what is the best way to connect to my xbox 360 wireless reciever. my computer is not 5 feet awaay from my xbox so i know the connection is good where i am. so do i need to portforwad or something elese?
in the setup it says my firmware version is 1.0.00 do i need an upgrade? if so please tell me where.

When you upgrade the firmware on your Router, you need to Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
For your XBOX you can make these changes on yuor Router as well as on your XBOX. I think it should make the NAT Open on your XBOX.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...
Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click 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...
3)Click on the Status tab and take note of DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses...
4) 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...
5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox, Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox...
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...

Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter N and Liksys WRT54GX Router

When I configure the xbox 360 Wireless N adapter, as soon as i itroduce my WEP key all my internet conection goes down, in all my pc wirelessly and with the ethernet cable, i have to reset my router to connect to the internet again, Why is that?

Check if your XBOX is not set to a Static IP? If you have set the Static IP on your XBOX and if its in the range of your Router, then due to Ipconflict the Internet Connection must be getting Down down on all the computers.
If you have set the Static IP on your XBOX, then you need to set it to DHCP or Automatic and then try to connect to your wireless network on your XBOX.
