Hooking up Linksys WRT160N to XBOX live

When testing the XBox live it says I had a NAT moderate problem. Talked with the XBOX folks and they said that I need to open the following ports on my router: TCP 80, UDP 88, UDP 3074, TCP 3074, UDP 53, and TCP 53. Not sure how to do this.

Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave 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 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...
2) On the second line in Application box type in PQR, 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...
3) On the third line in Application box type in XYZ, 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 and click on Save Settings...
3) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
4) Click on set-up and change the MTU Size to 1452 and click Save Settings...
5) 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...
6) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox
Primary dns :- 4.2.2.2...Secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1
7) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
8) 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...

  • WRT610N, Xbox Live, Moderen Warfare 2 and nothing but trouble !!

    I have been having problems over the last few months with constant drop outs on Xbox live and now specifically MW2. I have tried every option I can think of in the settings (Xbox and Linksys WRT610N) but no luck. I thought I would share my story in hope that either I might be able to help someone with what I have learned so far or get lucky that someone might offer up a solution that I have not been able to work out yet.
    Let the story begin ......
    Issue: Can connect to Xbox Live but will drop me out of the middle of games (Halo, Live Arcade, etc), and especially MW2 only to bring me back into the same game with my score set back to 0 each time. This happens on every game and every mode. If I am the host of a game then it will boot everyone else out half way through the game, bring up a message that enimies are about to forfeit and then finally rejoin everyone with their scores all set back to 0.
    Back Story:
    Have tried 3 different routers (this one being the latest) the other was a top of the line Belkin and older Linksys model
    Have power cycled and reset and restored factory defaults on all many times.
    Have changed out the actual ethanet cables as well.....No luck
    Have 2 Xbox's in the House and both produce the same results.
    My Current Settings:10N
    Product = WRT610N
    ISP = Bellsouth
    Xbox360 = Hardwired
    NAT = Open
    PPPoE
    IP and DNS are both Manual........
    Entered in matching DNS1 & DNS2 into Xbox settings
    IP = Manual and sits with DMZ enabled and assigned the Xbox a manual IP address outside Router IP range at .200
    Port Forwarding on for 88 & 53 Both (Tried UDP Only) ....53 & 3074 Both
    MTU = 1452
    Even added in specific Xbox Mac address into the Router page...no luck
    Upnp: = Disabled......Tried it enabled as well
    Went into QoS in the Application and Gaming section of the Router to try and priortize all the Xbox Live and MW2 advanced ports above and below.
    Read on a forum post to try unchecking Filter Anonymous Internet Requests in the Security tab settings....no luck
    Called Xbox Live support..............Went to 2nd level tech twice.
    They said IW/Activision had given them specific port settings for MW2 that I could try. My intial thought was Houston we might have lift off:....Tried opening additional Ports based of 2nd Level Support:
    3658 = UDP
    3478 = UDP
    3075 = UDP
    443 = TCP
    5223 =TCP
    Unfortunately no luck !
    Next I tried reading another million posts and forums to no avail.
    Help please, please please

    I finally got it to work 10 min ago !!!!!!!
    Here is the issue so if others incounter the same problem you will have some potential options to explore.
    Having 2 Xboxes going through the Linksys Router to Xbox live is the issue. This is what you need to do in your settings.
    Make both Xbox IP's Automatic
    DO NOT USE Port Forwarding.............You must enter these in Port Range Triggering:
    Xbox Live port settings 80, 88, 53 & 3074
    Same for Modern Warfare 2 ports = 3658, 3478, 3075 & 443
    On the setup page enable Keep Alive: Redial Period  = 180
    MTU = 1364
    Disable Home Network Defender
    Enable Upnp
    Disable DMZ
    QoS = Enable Internet Access Priority and Add in the ports above and set to High
    Add in the Mac addresses of the two Xboxes (you can find these in the advance network settings of you Xbox)
    Hope this helps as I have been researching this fix for 2 months and spent 20+hours playing with settings to finally get this to work

  • Need help with hooking up XBox live on my router

    I am trying to hook up my xbox 360 live and it doesn't seem to want to work.
    I have a laptop set up to my router and now I am trying to get the xboxx live to set up and it is saying it isn't connected.
    How do I go about doing that with this router?
    I can not find any directions online or in the book I received with my router.
    Model #WRT54G
    The first port I left empty thinking the xbox would use that one and the second one I have my computer in it for my wireless.
    What do I go and how do I go about hooking xbox live up with this?
    Thanks
    This is the message I sent to tech support (which was on my router box) but seems to be no email tech support anymore. 

    I am also facing the same issue ....... i found this link ..... it should help you also .....

  • WRT160N will not connect to internet unless xbox live is on

    Hello, I am hoping someone here will be able to help me (countless customer service calls never helped). I bought this router less than a year ago and have always had the same problem. The only time I can connect to the internet through the router is if my son is on xbox live.  Any help in resolving this would be much appreciated as this is quite aggravating. I have also tried to access 192.168.1.1 which does work.

    Who is your Internet Service Provider...?
    What is the IP address you are getting on the computer wired to the router...?
    Check the IP Address on the wired computer...Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
    Disable the firewall and anti-virus on the computer and try again..

  • Hook my Airport Express to my Extreme for Xbox Live?

    I have an Airport Extreme router that feeds the WiFi through my house. I also have an Airport Express that is in my living room which connects to my stereo to wirelessly stream my iTunes.
    I'd also like to connect the wire from my Xbox Live to the Airport Express to get it online. Is this possible, and if so, how do I do it?

    Try the following:
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the icons
    Make sure there is a check mark next to "Enable Ethernet Clients"
    Click Update to save your changes
    Test first with a laptop by turning off the wireless on the laptop and connecting via ethernet. Open your browser and you should have an internet connection. Try another ethernet cable if you don't have a good connection.
    If still no luck, power down the entire network.Start the modem first, then the device connected to the modem and so one at time until all devices are powered up.
    Everything above assumes that you have the Express set to "join a wireless network" in the normal AirTunes configuration.

  • Having Trouble Connecting To Xbox Live using my router and wireless adapter.

    Okay, so this is kinda long but I'll try and speed through. Recently I moved from my old place to a newer place (larger) and before, my old spot worked perfectly, no troubles. Now, eversince i got my internet cable service re-hooked up I've had problems. My internet is fine, that's not the problem. It's my xbox live for my 360. My cable guy pretty much set up my living room with the main router and not my studio office which I keep my 360 in. Instead he told me it would be much easier to just go out and buy a wireless adapter for my PC to recieve the signal from my living room off the main family computer. Well, went out and bought a $80.00 wireless adapter top of the line and it works perfectly, I get the internet really fast. Problem is, my 360 will not connect now. It always says DNS failed. Well here's the problem. I have a Linksys router in my studio office that sits on top of my PC that i have connected to the ethernet of my PC, then in the 2nd or 1st port i have my 360ethernet wire connected to my xbox360. Still it says DNS failed. Shouldn't my router be getting the signal from my Wireless adapter that it's receiving from the living room? It's connected through the same computer yet it doesnt connect. It finds my I address, and it finds the network adapter yet it always fails my DNS. I've tried evern switching the xbox360 ethernet to the main ethernet port on my pc and that just makes me fail the IP address test. I need help guys. My wireless adapter for the pc is a Belkin but my router is a linksys and not sure if the 360 just doesnt recognize it or not. Is there settings I'm missing or something? Please help!!!
    The Burninator...

    On your 360 if u getting an error msg DNS failed,you can login to your router setup page and go to status tab, not the Static DNS1 and DNS2 numbers and u can give a static dns to your 360. its will resolve ur issue.

  • WRT310N Xbox 360's / Xbox Live

    3 X-Box will not work with the linksys router..At the max 2 X-Box will work at the same time.

  • Macbook & Xbox Live

    I've had my laptop set up to a Wireless G Adapter. I have broadband connection.
    Well ever since I hooked up Xbox Live to the router when I get on my laptop
    it runs slow and when the xbox live is being played it also freezes. I need sugestions
    on what typr of router to buy or do I need two?? Please help w' any suggestions!

    I was on here looking for something about my g/f's Macbook issues and found this thread and I think I can help.
    Depending on the router, you can easily fix this--if your router supports QoS (Quality of Service), you can set your XBox/Xbox 360 as the priority machine.
    I have a Linksys WRT54G and it supports QoS--if my g/f is on the 'net downloading or YouTubeing, I'll get lag on the DSL line (3Mbps/768Kbps). However, enabling QoS fixed this by giving the Xbox priority over all other connections and it fixed the issue. I have the Xbox 360 mapped by the Mac address (in case I change Ethernet ports) in the Linksys setup, give it Highest priority. Another way of doing it is by LAN port, and setting that port to be the priority and all others low priority. She hasn't complained about slowness, but it just gives the router incentive to prioritize the XBL connection over all others.
    Hope that helps. 2Wire may support it, may not, but my Linksys router was only $50 and it may be worth it to you if that fixes your problem.

  • WRT160N and Xbox 360

    But it does not seem to work, I have a Verizon modem (6100F) hooked up to the router as well and the internet connection is fine, could anyone help?
    Message Edited by denapro on 09-21-2009 08:02 AM

    Note that my xbox would NOT connect to my router until I put in a WPA2 password for the router that was all caps and no numbers.  Not sure why this was.  Hope that helps you/someone else.

  • Problems With Xbox live "conection Interupted" HELP

Hooked into my router(wired) i have my bluray player, and my Xbox 360; while my computer uses it wirelessly. The problem is whille on Xbox live, playing CODWAW the screen will "jump" and then flash "connection interupted" then kick me off!!! When i set up my xbox i just used the prompts it gave me on the screen. I have tried exchanging the router, called the internet provider and it tested fine. This will happen any time of day even when my computer or bluray player is not on. Is there something i should set up with the router, or my xbox?? please help, for this is very frustrating. 

    To make your XBOX work perfectly fine with your Router, you need to make certain changes on your router. Follow the settings below :
    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...

  • Xbox live connection to G5 ethernet 2

    I recently hooked up my xbox360 to my G5 via etherent and I am unable to access xbox live. Xbox360 says that it cannon find an IP address. I have read all kinds of forums about how to connect a mac with a wireless adapter, but nothing about hooking them both up directly. My Sharing preferences are allowing Built-in ethernet 2 (where the xbox is connected) to share with Built-in etherent 1 (where the modem is connected). I don't get it, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
      Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    To get my xbox to share my eMac's I hooked my iBook up and used the settings from it.
    They were:
    ip address: 192.168.2.2
    subnet: 255.255.255.0
    gateway: 192.168.2.1
    Primary DNS: 192.168.2.1
    Alt DNS: 192.168.1.1
    Hope this helps.
