Prioritizing my xbox 360 to my WRT310N wireless router

I have my router on one end of the house and my xbox on the other end. i was told that i can prioritize my xbox on my router so that it doesn't lag as much or at all anymore. i was wondering how i can do this.

Who is your Internet Service Provider..?
If you are getting lag on the X-Box then,try to reduce the MTU value to 1365 on the router,power cycle the router and check...

Having lag problems on the XBOX 360 - connecting to WRT160N wireless router.

Having lag problems when playing on the XBOX 360(wireless connection) after we installed our new WRT160N wireless router. Looking for ideals on how to fix this performance problem?
Cable Conpany: Comcast
Modem Model: zoom
Wireless Router Model: Linksys WRT160N

A few more thoughts:
- Changing the channel settings does NOT achieve anything. I manually tried every setting with no success.
- Changing the encryption settings did not help. I tried "open", WEP and WPA and none of them work.
- Even when this problem shows up, the xbox360 wireless adapter successfully finds and associates with the wireless network. It even manages to read data from the network - it just does it VERY SLOWLY and disconnects often. This causes extreme lag in xbox live games, which shows up as unpredictable play and disconnects from games.
- The fact that G-only mode works fine pretty much proves that this problem can be fixed with a firmware change. The xbox360 wireless adapter and the WRT160N can definately talk to each other using 802.11g successfully so there must be some issue with negotiating the correct version of 802.11x.
- I've considered trying a third-party firmware, such as DD-WRT to see if this fixes the problem. Has anyone tried this and if so what happened?
If you are seeing this problem, please reply to this thread and say so. If enough people respond perhaps Linksys will fix the problem. Even if you're not registered with this board, registering is very quick and easy so don't let that deter you.
Thanks

Linksys Easy Link Advisor for WRT310N Wireless Router after upgrading to Windows 7 (64bit)

I can't reinstall Linksys Easy Link Advisor for WRT310N Wireless Router after upgrading to Windows 7 (64bit). When I went to Linksys site for solution for new drivers, it asked me for Hardware Version Number. This model doesn't show one. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Sabertooth is right. If you are able to go online from your Router then you don't need to install LELA software on your Computer.

Connecting an xbox 360 to the internet wirelessly

Hello,
First of all I want to apologize for writing another post about this topic. I know that there are other posts about it, but I'm very busy and don't have enough time to read through them all and pick out the info I need.
I'm thinking about purchasing a TimeCapsule along with an iMac to replace the family computer. My son has an Xbox 360 and is currently connecting wirelessly to the internet using the Microsoft Wireless Adapter and a Netgear router connected to the Windows desktop. I plan to replace the Windows desktop with the iMac and replace the Netgear router with the TimeCapsule. If this is what I do, will he still be able to connect to XboxLive? Please get back to me as soon as you can!
Thanks!

I think it only works if you use the network with 802.11b or g and a lesser security. The wireless 360 won't work with 802.11n and the wpa2 security.

Xbox 360 can't even detect router in the house at all now???

My Xbox 360 was working just fine then my internet went out got that fixed now my Xbox 360 can't even detect a router in the house anymore. It can't detect a network,it doesn't even give me a wireless option to connect to on my 360,I ran the Linksys Easylink Advisor,it shows my 360 on there but it isn't lit up like it use to be. I called Linksys they can't even get it back online......I don't know what else to do to make it detect my 360,when they fixed my internet they bridged my router,don't know if that has anything to do with it or not.

How do I get xbox 360 to connect to wireless.

We cannot get xbox360 to connect to the wireless network despite just purchasing an AirPort Extreme.

You can Buy a linksys WAP54G that will work as an access point to provide you with wireless connectivity. Then you need wireless adapters for 360s or you can try WGA54Gs from linksys to connect XBox wirelessly.

TROUBLE CONNECTING XBOX 360 WIRELESSLY TO MAC AIRPORT EXTREME NETWORK

Hi, and thanks for looking. Here are the facts in a nutshell.
1. Xbox 360, set up for wireless connection.
2. Wireless network, all apple equipment. Main Base station is the new Airport Extreme, hooked to a Cable Modem (Toshiba), with transmission via Comcast Internet.
3. All wireless connections between Mac computers, and Dell PC's working flawlessly, including multiple printers.
4.Cannot connect to XBox 360 because when attempting to wireless network not recognized. When editing Wireless connection, by manually typing in the Network Name, and the WPA password, still does not work.
5. Incidentally, I have had this XBox connected before,until I purchased the new Airport Extreme Station (the rectangular one). What has changed? For one thing I added WPA security, and secondly, I got rid of a Netgear Router that I had been using for better distance, at the end of the Airport extreme chain. So the equipment is slightly different, and the security is definately different.
So please, someone tell me what I must do to have the XBox connect to a Mac AEx Network, that has WPA security, and then, how do I get XBox to recognize a computer.
Prior to this, without security, and with a netgear router as an ethernetted remote to an Airport Extreme, the XBox could get on the network, and see a Dell computer for programming. Now it can't do any of that. Sorry to be so long winded.
I've tried everything including turning the firewall off the Dell. I even tried putting the Netgear back on the network by ethernet, which then allowed the 360 to log on wirelessly, but, still could not see the Dell, even with the firewall off. Thank you

You should really search for your question in the Airport forum found here <http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=140>. The forum you've posted in is dedicated to Macintosh and Windows compatibility issues. While XBox 360 and Windows are both Microsoft products they are not the same thing.
I think you'll find that many folks with the new Airport Extreme base stations are having compatibility issues with many devices when trying to use any security. The best workarounds are to either hide the SSID and restrict access using the network hardware address while using no wireless security, plug the XBox 360 directly into the station with an Ethernet cable or not use the new Airport base station altogether.
Good luck finding your answer! bill

NEED HELP! Connecting Airport Extreme wirelessly to an Xbox 360!

Hi there,
I just purchased an Apple Airport Extreme 3 days ago and I can't get it to fully work with my XBox 360 with the official wirelessly networking adapter. I've spent the last 2 days trying every conceivable option and setup to get these devices to work.... but can't. When I turn on my Xbox it DOES connect to Xbox Live and the wireless network created by the airport. I do the "Test Xbox Live" thing, and everything comes back "Confirmed" or "Okay", I can search marketplace and download game demos and such. But whenever I go to play a game on Xbox Live it say it "can't connect to server" or "no games found" etc.... I've tried this with 4 games; Halo 3, Halo 2, Gears of War, and Call of Duty 3 - and I can't play on Xbox Live with any of them. They did work fine like 10 days ago on an old D-link router I had before it broke, but now I have NO IDEA what the ** is going on. I've tried everything - I've set the router to b/g only, turned off all security, manually set the IP address on the xbox, etc... and I still can't play any games on live. I know my Xbox live subscription is still good and I've downloaded all the latest updates and firmware for my Xbox, router, and computer - and still nothing works. So any help out there would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
John

Hello John Groshko. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately, the AirPorts are not listed as Xbox Live-compatible routers.
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 or Xbox 360 with the AirPorts, you may not get the necessary NAT setting (Moderate or Open) for the Xbox Live game that you want to play.

Wrt54GS router and Wrt54GS wireless adapter on Xbox 360

Totally new in the wireless router business, I bought the Wrt54GS router and the Wrt54GS adapter to connect my Xbox 360.
I installed the router with the cd and connected my pc on the router with a fixed ethernet cable.
So far everything working fine.
Then connected the wireless adapter on the Xbox 360, but it seems like the Xbox 360 doesn't recognise the Wrt54GS adapter.
What did i do wrong?
Sebastian

Do you have wireless PC's ? are they able to go online ?
enable network security and also change the beacon to 50 and the RTS and fragmentation threshold by 40 each under the advanced wireless settings.

Bridging from wireless iBook connection to xbox 360

I was wondering if anyone might have any advice for me.
I am currently trying to allow my xbox 360 to share my iBook's wireless by bridging it through the iBook's ethernet jack.
When running the xbox live set up I have been able to get the IP address confirmed, the DNS as well, however the MTU just fails.
My iBook is set at 1500, the minimum the xbox wants is 1364, my wireless router is set at 1500. Any ideas? Has anyone else experienced this?

Tweleveclicks2,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
I don't own an Xbox so I can't really help you out. Have you looked at this Connect360? You should look at this previous post.

Xbox 360 and Linksys E3000

Hello,
I'm having quite some trouble with the new E3000 and my Xbox 360 Slim Model. I thought that the E3000 had like 4 antennas which should broaden the SSID Broadcast/Wifi Signal. Now when I try to scan for wireless networks on my Xbox360 it can't find the signal the E3000 is broadcasting. The E3000 is on the bottom floor and the 360 is on the first floor. Before this I had a WRT54G Linksys router and that one had no problem getting signal to the Xbox360. The E3000 shouldn't have this problem right, because it has more antennas. Another weird thing is that my laptop, which almost sits next to my 360, has no trouble at all finding the SSID/WiFi broadcast...
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I just want to connect my E3000 to my Xbox 360.
PS: I have upgraded to the latest firmware.

Xbox 360 and Linksys E3000Bad news guys. Whatever you were told about the xbox 360 being compatible with wireless n at 5GHz was probably misleading. Please work through the following link: Work your way through this:- http://www.unofficialguidetolive.co.uk/faqs/114-troubleshooting-and-improving-wireless
Pay attention to the following, and I quote from the above link:
"...The Internal Wireless N Adapter for the Xbox 360 S 250GB
As well as all of the points above to consider you also need to be aware that some Wireless N routers can work at 2.4GHz and 5GHz or both. <<<<The new internal Wireless N adapter will only work at 2.4Ghz>>>> so ensure you have this enabled. It has also been found that in some cases it does not work with WEP and prefers WPA2-PSK (sometimes called Personal) with AES encryption (not TKIP) so in summary for the internal wireless adapter these configureations seem to work best-"
We could have saved everyone a lot of time if the XBOX 360 support would have just admitted this from the start. NO 5GHZ compatibility from XBOX Wireless N adapter.
If there is a way to upgrade the wireless N adapter in the XBOX please post for the rest of us.

Xbox 360 and WRT300N

Hi,
I have an xbox 360 and a wireless router (WRT300N). My xbox 360 can connect to the router wirelessly and i get a great signal, but when i try to play online, for example, halo 3 slayer games, my game turns all glitchy and disorted. My character gliches through walls and my game freezes when I die. I have tried with other routers at friend'shouses and the games work perfectly, so i know it is my router (WRT300N) and not my xbox 360. What can I do to fix this?

1st, open up the router user interface. To do this, open up a web browser and on the address bar type the numbers 192.168.1.1 (username just leave it blank, password as a default is admin).
Then go to the Applications and Gaming Subtab. Input the following values:
Application: XBOX
Start: 3074
End: 3074
Protocol: Both
IP Address: 192.168.1.5
- Save Settings
2nd, assign a MANUAL IP Address value to your XBOX:
IP: 192.168.1.5
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Then save the settings and go ahead , have fun.

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?!?!?

Wireless Internet - Wireless Router - PS3 or XBOX

So, I have searched a bit through the forum and cannot seem to find help.
I have a Dell Laptop using a D-Link Wireless card for my internet.
I just bought the Linksys WRT54GS Ver 6 router.
How do I set it up so that I can use my PS3 or XBOX 360 to use my wireless internet? I am fairly PC literate, but this is confusing me.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

First of all you need to configure this router for internet connection and wireless connection. Once setup then, you need to configure your Xbox or PS3 with the same wireless settings and assign static IP on it. Now configure your router with the port forwarding for the Xbox or PS3 with that static IP. You may also reduce the MTU on this router to 1365.
