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...

Please help: connection issues (ATT, Time Capsule and xbox 360 live)

I am having near constant issues with my home network, so I am hoping to tap in to the collected knowledge of the internets to help sort things out.
Main issue: daily/hourly internet disconnection. Now, my 360 wireless adaptor can't even see the network. Ugh. Basically, I am hoping someone could give me the "best" configuragtion (ie settings for network, Time Capsule, 360 and/or wireless adaptor) for my current set-up.
My set up:
LinkSys modem from ATT (in bridge mode)-->
Apple Time Capsule (router) -->
Mad Catz 360 wireless network adaptor -->
Xbox 360
I have spent some time looking through the forums but keep running into conflicting recommendations and nothing I have tried so far seems to have helped. Thanks (in advance) for the help.

So, you must have somehow reconfigured the 2wire to perform as a simple modem, even though it is a full fledged modem/router combination. I've see the 2wire, but never configured one, so I can't offer a lot of help there.
Was there a particular reason why you configured the 2wire as a bridge when you could have simply configured the TC as a bridge to work with the 2wire? In other words, the 2wire would do the PPPoE service along with DHCP and NAT.
Maybe you tried it this way and something didn't work?
We've seen a number of posts from users who are having issues with the TC doing the PPPoE service. I just wonder if you are not betting off letting the 2wire do what the ISP intended it to do.

WRT300N and XBox 360 Live

I am having problems connecting to Xbox Live since switching to the 360. I had my account switched over and I did my setup.
My main problem is that when i test to see if Xbox live is working, once I get to IP Address it fails every time. Can someone who maybe had this problem help me as to where I am going wrong.
Much thanks in advance.

First thing you have to make sure is that, you have to assign a static
ip address on XBOX like 192.168.15.10, with subnet mask of
255.255.255.0, and gateway 192.168.15.1
Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.15.1 in browser’s
address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name.
Go to applications and gaming tab
Now Forward the ports you have to this static ip address, which you
assign to your XBOX
Usually ports used by xbox are:88 & 3074, which you can forward.

WRT54GL setup problem for xbox 360 live

I am new to wireless networks, and trying to setup a wireless network for my step-sons XBOX 360 live. I purchased a WRT54GL wireless router, and a Xbox wireless adapter MN-740.
I wired in the WRT54GL into my Windstream DSL network at home, and used the automated phone system to get the internet backup, and running. But, when trying to install the software on the enclosed CD, after typing in the IP address, and gateway address, I get "router configuration error".
Any ideas, or links to help threads would be great.
Thanks, Jon

Connecting XBox 360 Live to Verizon netbook

I purchased an XBox 360 Live for my son for Christmas. I cannot get it to connect. We originally had Verizon Wireless Broadband w/ an internal modem. I went and purchased a Verizon USB760 to get service and also a Cradlepoint Router from Best Buy. Neither of these have worked. Any suggestions?

Thanks. So what would be your advice?
Cable or DSL service, or Verizon FIOS if available.
Satellite will have latency problems as bad as or worse than mobile broadband.
As stated above, mobile broadband has issues with latency and with VERY low monthly usage caps compared to cable/DSL. (Most cable/DSL providers institute throughput caps and not monthly usage caps but that's changing, however most that have caps now have set them high enough that only hardcore torrenters can hit them - e.g. I've heard 250GB thrown around as a number for Comcast.)

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:

Updated to 7.3.1, PC and Xbox 360 can't connect

Hey, anyone else having problems getting PCs and Xbox 360s to connect to the AirPort Extreme after the 7.3.1 update? Wired or wireless, my PC (Vista, with and without SP1) and my Xbox 360 (with the official wireless network adapter) won't connect.

I am in the same boat...
7.2 worked great... 7.3.1 does not even show in the network list. Also, downgrading it does not fix the issue?!?!?

Problems with WRT160N and Xbox 360 - please help

Hello,
I have recently purchased a WRT160N router and when I play games online (Halo 3 or Modern Warfare 2) it takes around 10 min to find a game while in the lobby. I don't get kicked out or signed out of my profile it just takes a long time. It says that my NAT type is Open. I have isolated that the problem is the router because if I plug an ethernet cable from the 360 to the DSL modem I find games instantly. I have looked up port forwarding and opened the ports on the 360 and specifically for modern warfare 2 and it actually made my NAT type go to strict, ironic. I have spent 5 hours trying to mess with this and can't seem to get it working right. If someone could please help me on the settings or have any other ideas that would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have already tried reducing the MTU as well as the Beacon Level, Threshold, and Fragmentation. That did not work. To get the ip address of the modem is where I do cmd prompt ipconfig right. If so, I have not done that yet and since I am at work I will do that when I get home. the ports I have opened on the router for the xbox were 80, 88, 53, and 3074. Like I said when I did that it actually got worse cause my NAT was open but then it went to Strict.

Xbox 360 live lagged and disconnect often with Linksys WRT300N router

I live in a two story townhouse with the modem and wireless router (Linksys WRT300N) located in the upper floor and the Xbox 360 system with wireless adapter in the bottom floor. Our laptop works fine with good connection but the Xbox live gameplay lagged big time and disconnect often. What are we doing wrong?

Configure the X-BOX using static IP....subnet mask ....gateway & DNS numbers as in the range of router ....
Also use the wireless settings same as in router
Forward the ports 88 & 3074 .... .on router .....
See above settings make any difference

Xbox 360/one problem and port forwarding

For a couple months now (since I got my AirPort Extreme) I have not been able to connect to a certain friend on xbox. I can connect to anybody else however. The only way we can (kind of) connect is if somebody else is host and we both connect to him.
My NAT type is Moderate. When I try to test my connection on my xbox it says that I can connect but I am limited in matchmaking (this is joining games and using voice chat, which is the problem named above for my particular friend). The xbox shows the error and suggests that I enable UPnP or open the port 3074.
The problem is that I have already have! I gave my xbox a static IP and forwarded the port 3074 to that IP.
(I have also tried forwarding all the ports that xbox live uses to the xbox. These being:
Port 88 (UDP)
Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
Port 80 (TCP)
as found on the xbox website... https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/networking/network-ports-used-xbox-live
I made sure to put them in the right text boxes for UDP and TCP so that is not the problem either.)
I know that the AirPort Extreme does not support UPnP but does have a similar thing called NAT Port Mapping Protocol which was already enabled. (I tried all possibilities of enabling/disabling NAT...Protocol and port forwarding/not port forwarding.) --- This is not the solution as I see it
In short: My xbox tells me to open port 3074. I already have. It still tells me to open it and still won't work.
I posted this on the apple discussion page (instead of the xbox discussion page) because I know that it's not an xbox problem. When I had my old linksys router it worked perfectly.

I have this exact same question and problem. I know this doesn't help, but would appreciate any updated information if you find an answer. I'll keep working on this also and let you know if I find an anwer.

WRT160N V3 Two Xbox 360 consoles Xbox live NAT Resolution

Has anyone found a solution to the NAT problems involving two xbox 360s connecting to xbox live using the WRT160N V3 at the same time?

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...
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.

PS3 and XBox 360 problems. NAT issue.

I don't know if anyone is having this issue. I own an XBox 360 and a PS3, both connected wirelessly to my WRT54GS router. If I play the XBox 360 (which requires an open NAT) it's fine. As soon as I download something (not play something) on my PS3, it turns the NAT into Moderate rather than Open. When I again turn on my XBox 360 I have problems with Live. So I must reset my router every time I download content on my PS3.
Does anyone know why this happens or how to keep it from happening again?
Thanks,
Ryan

check out the hardware version on the unit...and then go to www.linksys.com/download and look for the firmware of the appropriate version number of WRT54GS...
access the router interface using http://192.168.1.1 . Logon using the password "admin"..ensure that the router has the same firmware as available on the website...if not , upgrade it first..
after the firmware upgrade , reset the router and reconfigure ...
on the router ui , change the MTU settings to 1364 ...assign static ip add and dns on the x-box and PS3....the ip add should be out of the range of the router's DHCP ( i.e out of 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149 )
on the router ui , go to "Applications and gaming" tab and forward ports 88 and 3074 for the ip add of the x-box and 10070 - 10080 , 6000 - 6999 for the PS3..

Problems with internet sharing/network connection/ethernet and XBOX 360

So basically I have a sent my Mac Book Pro 13" (Snow Leopard) away to be fixed, and in return I got a loan Mac Book Pro 15" (Lion). In the two weeks my Mac book was away getting fixed I purchased an XBOX 360, because of my location I am unable to use wireless on my XBOX, so instead I connect the loan Mac Book to the XBOX 360 via network cable.
This worked fine and I could now connect to XBOX Live and be on the Mac Book at the same time.
So today my Mac Book (13") is returned, I connect everything up exactly the same also changing the settings on internet sharing making sure that it can be used to send the connection to other devices via ethernet.
But it just wont connect.
The XBOX doesnt find the connection like it did before, and it also doesnt register on the MAC Book either.
I've tried different cables, the same cable I used where it worked before.
I've tried turning of Virus protection.
Both still at both ends it is not registering a connection, I have used this Mac Book before through a network cable so I dont think there is a problem there, to my knowledge everything is the same as I did on the other Mac Book but this one does work.
Have you any advice or tips on how to get this to work?
Thanks for your time.

What I did to get my network running again (although I still haven't found out why DHCP has stopped working):
1. Open the Control Panel of the computer that's trying to connect to the network (not the computer sharing the internet connection)
2. Go to 'Network' panel, and select the AirPort connection
3. Under the 'TCP/IP' tab, change 'Configure IPv4' pull-down menu from 'Using DHCP' to 'Manually'.
4. Enter an IP address between 10.0.2.2 and 10.0.2.256 (I randomly chose 10.0.2.40), a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, and enter 10.0.2.1 in the Router box.
5. Click "Apply now"
The computer should now be connected to the network, and able to access the internet. If not, you may need to manually enter a DNS server - put '4.2.2.1' (or an IP for a DNS server provided by your ISP) into the 'DNS Servers' box.
You need to do that process for each computer you're trying to connect to the shared network, making sure you enter a different IP Address for each.

Problem "trying" to play with other people on Xbox 360 Live

I am using a WRT54G v. 5 router with the latest firmware. I have not been able to play with any player online on any game for around a week now, no matter what I do, but I can download demos, and stuff. I also can't view any players whatsoever via the Players tab in the Xbox 360 guide button thing, so there is definately something wrong with my router. Any suggestions?

Something also I should mention is that I've called the xbox 4-800 live xbox thing or whatever, and they said it was my router too.
I've also tried DMZ but it still didn't work out, as for the Port forwarding, I couldn't find anything that would let me give my Xbox 360 an ip address, so I just used the one on my client table.
Beforethen, I was also using DI-604 router too, but that didn't work out either, even though I was able to assign it to 192.168.1.1, but I read somewhere on here you aren't supposed to do that. I haven't tried it out fully with my WRT54G v 5 though since I can't give my Xbox 360 a static ip address like I could easily in my DI-604 router.
And anyway, i'm still stuck and unable to play with anybody on Live thanks to my router(WRT54G v. 5), so if can anybody see this and give out suggestions, or see what my problem is?
