My New Airport Extreme keeps disconnecting from Xbox Live, Why??

I have just lately updated my wireless router to the New Airport Extreme and it has worked great for all be one of my systems. For some reason my Xbox360(1st gen) keeps disconnecting me from Xbox Live everytime i log-in.
I'm not sure what the problem is, but what I do know is that I didn't have this problem with my old Netgear router. And No I can't change back to my old router im just hoping that these an easy fix for this problem??
Thank you!!

Hey,
I'm using an Airport Express with my xbox and having the same problem. using the xbox 360 slim, 4GB with wifi. All my other devices are totally fine.
How did you solve the issue ?
pm me at [email protected] if you like. Thanks !

  • My airport extreme keeps disconnecting

    My airport extreme keeps disconnecting from internet. This never occurred before I changed my router to the new extreme. It seems to be a piece of ****. I Tried all the solutions posted in the forum for no avail. I'running Mavericks in an iMac 2008. Anyone found a solution ?

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.

  • My new AirPort Extreme keeps shutting down and kicking my ipad and iPhoto off while sometimes showing a good connection in utilities but utilities showing no connection.

    My new AirPort Extreme keeps shutting down. The status light is off. If I unplug and re-plug it comes back on and reconnects. Also, it disconnects my iPad and iPhone even though the status light is green. I go to airport utilities and the internet dot is amber and the base station is green. I check wireless clients and both iPad and iPhone show excellent connection but are not connected. If I disconnect and re-connect it restores connection. My old AirPort Extreme never had this problem. I read a couple of comments from owners with similar problems and you pushed it off on the iMac or other things. I hope you have an answer for me!

    If it has power, an Extreme's status light should never be off.
    Try another power outlet. If it still doesn't work, return or exchange it for a new one.

  • My NEW Airport Extreme keeps shutting down.

    My NEW Airport Extreme keeps shutting down at random intervals. No power light, not amber, green or flashing. I had to reset it four time this morning in a 10 minute span this morning. I have plugged it into the wall socket directly and now in a surge protector but still having issues. At time it just shuts down while being online. This Airport Extreme is not even three weeks home from being bought at an Apple store.

    Take the defective AirPort Extreme back to the Apple Store and exchange it for another device.

  • E2000 Constantly disconnects from XBOX Live

    I'm  not having an NAT issue, but my e2000 is constantly disconnecting from XBOX Live. About every 3-5 minutes I get disconnected. My wireless is working perfectly, this is only an issue with XBOX Live. 
    I've followed all the examples on the forums here, like:
    http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/Need-HELP-to-change-NAT-type-to-open-on-Linksys-E...
    and
    http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/Open-NAT-xbox-live-problems/td-p/337375
    and I have double checked every setting. I'm not sure what is causing this issue. 
    I've set the MTU, unchecked UPnP, entered port forwarding range to XBOX's static IP address, and set the DMZ to my XBOX's MAC address. 
    So, what is causing my router to constantly disconnect? 

    Try the following steps:
    A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
    1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
    2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
    3] Then Click on wireless Tab select Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, and 11. Click Save Settings....
    B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

  • Disconnected from Xbox Live (WET610N- E4200- RVS4000)

    I am pulling out my hair with this intermittent problem.  Here is my setup
    - Xbox360 with wired connection to WET610 (5GHz Wireless N, WPA2) connecting to
    - E4200 configured as Access Point (dual radio, 5GHz and 2.4GHz)
    - E4200 has wired connection to my router (RVS4000), in a bridged manner (i.e not using the WAN interface)
    - RVS4000 has other hosts connected via wired interface, in addition to a connection to the E4200
    - wired connection (of course) from RVS4000  to cable modem, connection to internet service from Cox Communications)
    NOTE: the Xbox is configured with a static IP address, external DNS hosts (from Cox). That same IP address is set as the DMZ host on the router.  I also tried port forwarding directly to the Xbox. I have tried various MTU sizes settings on the router, per recommendations, currently set to auto (1500). I have also enabled WMM access mode on the WET610N and set for VIDEO. I tried QOS classification 802.1D and 802.1Q (not affect) on the WET610N
    Still when viewing video streams from Netflix, I receive the following message from the Xbox (disconnected from Xbox Live). The period between service interruption does not seem to be predicatble, but is certainly less than 60 minutes, many times less than 30 minutes.
    I am welcoming any and all ideas ot resolve this issue.  I can not be the only one trying to use Netflix (on Xbox) via this sort of setup, can I ?
    BTW, the E4200 was selected for dual (simultaneous) radio capability, such that I can seperate other WLAN devices onto seperate radio bands. FYI, there is also a second WET610N associated with the E4200 using 5GHz Wireless N, for two desktop systems. All other devices (laptops and iTouch, iPhone, iPad) use the Wireless B/G at 2.4GHz.

    hum, let me try replying again. Yes the problem is isolated to the Xbox not being able to sustain a connection when viewing streamed video from Netflix. The other WET610N, with the two desktop is not impacted. Prior to having the E4200, I did have a WAP610N in place configured to use the 2.4GHz band. The problem was also occuring with the WAP610N in place. Hence the rationale to use a dual simulataneous (2.4 / 5GHz) radio WAP.

  • My new airport extreme keeps shutting off

    periodically my airport extreme just shuts off,I unplug and wait nd replug and its fine, but what is wrong?

    I assume that you mean that your new AirPort Extreme completely powers-down randomly.
    If that's the case, there are at least four things I can think for why that may be happening:
    The power cord is not fully attached at the base of the AirPort Extreme.
    There is a potential issue with the AC wall outlet or power strip (if you are using one.) Try using another outlet or power strip.
    There is a potential issue with the AC's internal power supply.
    The overall ambient temperature around the Extreme is too high and is causing the Extreme's power suppy to shut down.

  • Airport extreme keep disconnecting

    I set up my airport extreme, it works fine until my computer has been idle for a while then it disconnects. I have to run the airport utility to restart it. Any suggestions on how to keep it on all the time

    Strange how these things always happen after a power failure.. it is so common though..
    Good you did full reset.. did you actually factory reset the AE.. I would do that.. !! Not just hard reset.
    I would also use 7.6.1 firmware in preference to latest greatest 7.6.3.. especially as your AE is 2 generations back now. So I would downgrade.. even to 7.5.2 which IMHO works better.. at least my experience on Time Capsule certainly suggests it does. Then do factory reset.
    A further step if the above does not help is to fix the speed of the wan port.
    You will need to use v5 utility.. if you only have v6 we have work around to load v5 into later lion or ML OS.
    Set the speed of the WAN port of the AE to 100mbit full duplex.. and even if that still gives trouble to half-duplex.
    An ethernet cable swap might also be worth it.. plenty of cheap patch cables go bad.

  • Airport Extreme keep disappearing from airport utility

    Hello,
    I have purchased recently an Airport Extreme and set it up as such:
    - wired connection to my ADSL modem
    - connected a 1TB drive by USB to the airport extreme
    On top of this, I have an airport express that I use exclusively for itunes streaming to my stereo
    Devices connecting to the Airport extreme are:
    - one Windows XP PC (wired)
    - iPhone, Ipad, Macbook Pro, all wireless
    All firmware and airport utility versions are up to date.
    First it works. All is connected, green lights, extreme and express detected by utility, USB drive visible everywhere. Then after a few hours, the following happens:
    - extreme and express are not visible by utility on mac book pro (but still detected by utility on iPhone!)
    - cannot stream music to express
    - USB drive no longer visible from my Macbook pro
    - shared itunes library no longer available
    - green lights still on
    - internet still on
    The only way to fix it is to reboot the extreme.
    Any ideas ?

    I'm sorry to say that I've had this exact same problem.  It's very frustrating because I lose the ability to stream to appletv and also to use wireless printing... the two main reasons I bought an Airport Extreme and got rid of my old router.
    I will continue to have connectivity to the WAN but the airport utility on my MBP can't see any available airport devices. I thought it might be an issue with my OS, so I upgraded to Lion, but no change...
    I've spent time searching the forums without success. I've also posted it to twitter. Hopefully, someone can help us? I'm wondering if the router hardware is bad or if it's a wireless driver issue with my MBP.

  • Airport extreme not compatible with xbox live?

    Hello,
    Ive had this problem for a long while now and are getting desperate. Basically when i go on xbox live the connection is really really bad. It's not all the time, rarely it will work fine but most of the time the connection is awful.
    I know the problem isn't because of the location of the xbox since, the connection is strong in my laptop in that room and we have also used a wifi signal analyzer in the room aswell. It's not because of where i live since i have a friend across the road who's xbox connection works fine. We also have an xbox dowstairs much closer to the router which also has the same problem. Im almost convinced its because of the aiport extreme.
    We have an aiport extreme which acts as the router and a netgear which is the modem. The airport extreme has to be in bridge mode or else i get a double nat problem. I think its something to do with the airport extreme and netgear conflicting, if they where i have no idea how to solve it or even if thats the case.
    We tried taking the airport extreme out of bridge mode and then turning nat off on the netgear but then we couldn't connect to the internet at all.
    Please help me, i really need this problem solved. Its really starting to annoy me.
    Thankyou

    Im almost convinced its because of the aiport extreme.
    Unfortunately, the key issue here may be that the AirPort Extreme is not on the Xbox list of "compatible" routers.
    Xbox LIVE Compatible Hardware - Xbox.com
    I know of no way to change that fact.
    We have an aiport extreme which acts as the router and a netgear which is the modem.
    You do not have a Netgear modem, you have a Netgear modem/router or gateway.  That is why the AirPort must be in Bridge Mode. In Bridge Mode, the AirPort is not acting as a router, it simply passes through the network information from the Netgear gateway.
    If you want the AirPort to act as the main router for the network, then the Netgear device must act as a pure, Bridge Mode modem.  Netgear support may be able to tell you if it is possible to configure the device that way.
    But, even if it is possible to configure the Netgear this way and the AirPort as the main router, the fact still remains that the AirPort is not listed as being "compatible" with Xbox, so there are no guarantees that this will help.

  • New Airport Extreme restarts/disconnects/boots all devices if specific MacBook joins wirelessly...?

    Preface:
    This is my second new AEBS in two weeks. They've both had this issue (which seems unique from the other disconnect postings I've found), so it's not AEBS hardware. I've also had a perfectly functioning Airport Express in the exact same configuration (sans dual-band of course) for the last two years, so interference and the like (for which I did test and troubleshoot) also seems unlikely. I have a 2008 Macbook, a mid 2009 Macbook Pro, a Windows 7 PC, an iPhone 4, and iPhone 4s, and an iPad on the network.
    Issue:
    After setting up my AEBS, I kept getting knocked off at random, frequent intervals. It would disappear from all my devices simultaneously--no network connections and nothing showing in Airport Utility. I tweaked every setting imaginable five times over. No luck. Looked into networks around me and fiddled with channels etc. No luck. At first, I would have to go unplug and replug the AEBS to get it to show back up. Eventually I managed to get it to where it would just "reset" more or less and come back on in about 30-45 seconds. The light on the router will blink green once, and then two seconds later go solid amber for about 10-15 seconds, and then blink amber for another 10 or so. Then it's back like nothing happened.
    I think that I finally narrowed it down today to what is triggering it more or less. I noticed it was fine with everything connected WITHOUT any security. When I added the WPA2 security back on, it was doing it soon after the older Macbook connected, right after "Installed unicast CCMP key for supplicant 3c:d0:f8:8e:31:b5". I could connect the Macbook through ethernet and be fine. If it did connect without the issue, it would do it soon after when the router would run that "Installed unicast CCMP" process again in a mere matter of minutes.
    I decided that maybe having old OSX Leopard wasn't working well, so I finally upgraded it to Snow Leopard to see if maybe it would help. No luck. Exact same issue. I disabled Airport on it, and since then I'm going on 5 hours of no issues, but why is this computer causing the AEBS to freak out when it worked 100% with my Airport Express for years???

    Hi,
    I have roughly the same issue.  I have a new 5th Generation (I had a 4th Generation that seemed to do the same thing) that will reboot for no apparant reason.  I have a 1st Generation Time Capsule as the main wireless access point, then a 2nd generation Extreme extending, and the 5th generation as another extension.  I also have an Express extending to the top floor.  All my other devices work great, but the new 5th generation will just reboot over and over.  Seems to be every 5 - 10 minutes.  I have it setup in the middle of my house, with some devices connected to it via ethernet cable.  I used to have the Express in that location connected to a switch for my devices, and never had any issues.  My log looks similar, basically nothing useful. 

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n and XBox 360 Disonnects

    I've been using the Airport Xtreme 802.11n for about a week now and have been frequently disconnected from Xbox live on my xbox 360. The NAT is open and I'm directly connected to the router via an ethernet cable. I've given the 360 a static IP address and have forwarded ports 88 and 3074. The disconnects have happened both while in the middle of a online game and while I'm just on the Dashboard. Does anyone have any suggestions or is anyone else experiencing this. Please Help! It's extremely frustrating!

    I have been having this problem as well. It says the server timed out, then my AEBS starts flashing yellow. Sometimes it goes back to green on its own, then other times I have to open up the airport setup. Oddly mine happens the same time every night, give or take 5 minutes.
    For more info on my setup: XBOX360 wired to the AEBS, connected to a Motorola modem. At&t DSL is my ISP.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • New Airport Extreme (6th Gen) Dropping Connection from Time to Time.

    Problem:
    6th Generation Airport Extreme drops connection intermittently at random times.
    Set Up:
    6th Generation Airport Extreme (main router - no hard drive/not a time capsule) located center of house on the main floor. 2 Range extenders each approximately 30+ feet away from main router. First range extender (Airport Express - newest generation) located on the third floor parallel to main. Second range extender (Airport Express - new generation) is located at the end of the kitchen (main floor).
    Main Router is connected straight from a Motorolla Surfboard modem on a foyer table at the center of the house.
    Range extenders connected to Main Router wirelessly and at wall outlett height.
    Previous Setup:
    Same setup as above but, with the 5th Generation Airport Extreme instead of the 6th Generation.
    Firmware:
    All current versions.
    Devices:
    1 SONY VAIO VGN-FW490J
    HP Notebook G60
    Several WEMO outlets
    1 iPad Mini
    1 iPad 2
    1 iPhone 5
    1 Motorolla RAZR MAXX
    Macbook Pro
    iMac (wired from main router on foyer table)
            Note: All of these routers/range extenders/modem/computers are plugged into surge protected outlets.
    Notes:
    With the new Airport Extreme my family and I have been experiencing intermettent connection drops. The amber light on the main router turns on and within a few minutes turns green and connection resumes again. This has been happening for a few days now ever since I purchased the new router. This has not happened before with the 5th generation router, which I donated to our church.
    I have not exchanged the product yet. I will be initiating a Complete Power Recycle after some suggested solutions in a bit. I have contacted my Internet Service Provider (Comcast) for a line check and found no problems.
    Has anyone found any solutions to resolve the intermittent connection drops? Is reverting to the previous firmware going to solve this?
    I would like some insights before trying to do all this. Thank you all for your time.
    P.s.
    I've done a detailed post since posts like these is frequently asked questions on set-up, devices, connections, etc:

    Update:
    Before I went to exchange my 6th Gen Extreme, I ran through all possible solutions from complete power recycle to no devices connected. I even went out of my way to my cousin's house to test it out. The same problem still kept coming.
    I was able to exchange my 6th Gen Airprt Extreme with another 6th Gen Extreme the other day. I set it up how the instructions told me and within an hour it did the exact same problem as the previous 6th Gen Extreme. I gave up and decided to get the ASUS RT-AC66R (ASUS RT-AC66U is the same, just the 'R' is Best Buy's model.)
    The ASUS router is just as great as the 6th Gen Router. You can actually get it down to $180 by price matching to Amazon. The ASUS router has 3 antennas that you can adjust according to where the signal is used more. I pointed them more towards the backyard, upstairs, and the living room. The range is by far better than the Extreme because of this. I was able to drive down a good block (3-4 houses down) and still connected to my router. Also it has 2 USB ports which was fantastic for me so I can plug in my external hard drive and a non-wireless printer. It has many more features that I really liked that I didn't even know was possible. The router utility interface is a bit confusing at first but, it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
    Some features that I liked with the ASUS was the ability to have multiple guest network with time limits. 3 for 2.4gHz and 3 for 5gHz. I think that Airport guest accounts are only allowed 2.4gHz but not a 5gHz. Though I only needed 1 for each but, I can see this working well for businesses.
    Another feature is traffic manager. I am able to set specific bandwith for different types of use such as, high priority 80%-100% bandwith for gaming, medium priority badwith 70%-90% for HD media streaming/data transfer, and 50%-80% low bandwith for casual web surfing. It also has it's own "beamforming" so that data isn't free roamed.
    Lastly it has AiCloud sync which is basically like having a hard drive into your router but, much like having a Dropbox at the same time.
    More or less I think I'll stick with the ASUS router rather than going with the new Airport Extreme. I think that it's more on firmware issue than it is hardware. If you are not willing to switch to another brand and want to keep staying with Apple, I recommend going back to the 5th generation until a new firmware or rebuilt 6th gen extreme is out.
    I have not found any problem with the ASUS router and no intermittent connectivity issues.
    Now I am not trying to make you buy the ASUS router. I'm merely expressing how great the product is.
    I do have 60 days from Best Buy return policy to try out the ASUS (and report of any malfuntions) and if within that time a new firmware is out for the Extreme. I highly doubt I'll go back to the extreme though.
    Hope this helped!!

  • How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme? My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured" and my AirPort tool on my PC will not permit me to add my new Airport Extreme network (no network names to choose from)

    How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme?
    I have a PC running with Win7 and just replaced my Jensen With a brand New Airport Extreme.
    I have set up the Airport Extreme to the internet, Iphones and Ipads and it work as it should.
    I have downloaded latest Version of Airport tool on my PC. In addition i have downloaded the airport tool for Ipad.
    I have reset one of my airport Express and it now shows up both on the Ipad and on the PC airport tool.
    My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured."
    I have wired the airport Express to my Ethernet to be able to "see it" on my Airport tool.
    My AirPort tool on the PC will not permit me to add the airport Express to my new Airport Extreme network (no network names on the drop-down list to choose from). I wished for an easy set-up, but nothing seems to be plug and play as the Commercial says.. can you please help me?

    Hi
    Thanks for Swift reply.
    Yep - I in fact have two A1088 and one A1264
    I actually bought the new router because the Jensen
    router always lost connection to the Airport Express after some hours or days. I
    always needed to restart my Jensen to play music and that was driving my wife
    mad. The hope was that the Extreme should fix this. Both A1088 have been set up
    to only stream music to two of my stereo amplifiers from my PC’s Itunes library.
    Are the A1088 now useless?
    The A1264 has been set up to feed internet into a Denon Reciever that needed Ethernet cable.
    Please advise
    Regards
    Sigve

  • Tips on upgrading to new Airport Extreme from an older version

    I've just ordered the lastest Airport Extreme (5th generation) and am looking for tips for a smooth transition from an older Airport Extreme.
    Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions!

    AirPort Utility on your Mac will give you some options for the new AirPort Extreme.
    One of them that you might consider will be the displayed option to replace the old Extreme with the new Extreme.
    If you say "yes", AirPort Utility will transfer all of the settings from the old Extreme to the new Extreme
    If you want to start all over again "from scratch", that option is available as well in the guided setup.
