Router xbox 360 issues

Ok heres my problem, I'm trying to connect to Xbox live using a wireless router. Now i dont know what i'm missing so hopefully someone can help me out. The 360 detects the network, it starts to connect and does then it goes to the third test, the ip address and for whatever reason it doesnt work and it flips back to the second test and says its not connected. So what is it thats missing for the ip address, do i have to change the address on the 360 to match the wireless router?

Are you using mac address filtering, if so make sure you've added both the mac address of the wireless device and the xbox 360. I'm having a similar problem even though I've added both mac addresses, mine works fine when the mac address filtering is disabled but as soon as I enable it the xbox 360 loses its connection but everything else on my system is OK.

    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.

  • WRT160N Xbox 360 issues

    Over the past few days I have been experiencing issues with my Xbox 360. My ping will go down to yellow and red in Call of Duty 4, and in Gears of War 2 it says "You have a strict firewall. Network performance may suffer as a result". I don't know what to do other than what I have already done... and it has not worked.
    I have:
    Enabled DMZ
    Forwared ports 3074 and 88
    Gave the 360 a Static IP
    I don't know where to go. I need help... PLEASE help. I want to get rid of this firewall so I no longer have gaming issues.

    As you have already forwarded the ports,
    Click on set-up and change the MTU Size to 1452 and click Save Settings...
    Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...Power cycle your modem, router and x-box and test the connection...

  • Connecting to XBox 360 issue

    Can anyone help me on this? I have the XBox 360 wifi accessory and when I go to set up my network settings, and do the search for connection to XBox Live, it tells me that it isn't connected, but I've set everything up correctly. I've called XBox and they can't help because they are idiot Microsoft people. I spent $100 bucks on this thing, they won't take it back at Gamestop, and XBox is telling me it is because of my TimeCapsule 500GB Wireless N Router that it can't connect. Can anyone help me get this thing working?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey Dizzle,
    The XBox 360 wireless network device won't work with 'N' mode, you you need to set your Time Capsule to b/g mode so that your Xbox can connect.
    Because I prefer to have my network in 'N' mode (it's faster), the way I've done it is to purchase an Airport Express in addition to the Time Capsule.
    This is how to set this up: Plug the Airport Express into a power outlet near your Xbox, then run an ethernet cable from the express into the Xbox ethernet port. In Airport Utility, set up the Express to join an existing network (the one that the Time Capsule is on) and set it up to accept ethernet clients.
    If you decide to get an Airport Express, you may be able to sell your Xbox wifi unit on ebay or something.
    I hope that helps!

  • WRT300N Xbox 360 issue

    I just bought the WRT300N and set it up. I was able to get my laptop and PS3 working on it just fine but my Xbox 360 can't even see the SSID. manually entering it didn't help. Any suggestions?

    Got the same problem here. It looks like the xbox wireless adapter isn't finding the ssid broadcasting signal. I tried to set up the xbox manually (perhaps the xbox is looking the wrong way) But even that didn't work. For once I can't believe that a router isn't capable of sending a SSID to the wireless adapter of (in this case) the xbox360. I think the linksys WRT300N is sending over the G and N networks. While the Xbox 360 is on the A and G networks. But the router should sent a broadcast over the G networks also.
    Second Linksys is announcing they are glad they are teaming up with Microsoft on the Vista project. But one thing is wrong, it looks like both parties didn't even look at the possibilities. And Vista is the newest system on the market especially developed for a better experience and linkage with the XBox360!!
    So I think that Linksys is sending us a firmware upgrade soon (I hope)  for what I read on the net is that there is no sollution yet than just plug it in and lay a cable through your house. And if not than we can just accept the losses of our money and fun.

  • Xbox 360 issues using Wireless Airport Extreme

    This has been driving me crazy I don't know what to do...
    I had an Airport Extreme for a few years, worked fantastic and was able to connect wirelessly with my Xbox 360 with no problems.
    For the holidays I went to visit my family and took the Airport Extreme with me so I could have wireless internet setup. The family bought a brand new Airport Extreme while i was there but because my old one was already setup we decided that I would just take the new one back home with me.
    So i got home, set it up, and now I have Xbox live problems...
    The xbox still connects, that's not the problem (although I do get kicked off a lot)... The problem is that none of the marketplace/online content shows up. I figured this was a Microsoft problem so I was on the phone with them last night trying everything they could think of. Once we had exhausted all their ideas, they concluded it was the Airport's fault and told me to contact Apple.
    Microsoft said I had to open some ports, but I honestly feel they are mistaken here. If I can already CONNECT, and once in about 100 times, the marketplace content WILL show up for a second, then how could it be a port issue?
    I have Hard Reset the Airport Extreme and reconfigured it. I also re-installed the airport software because it said my software was still for the old Airport and that it might cause issues.
    Nothing has helped. Microsoft told me to delete my media update on my xbox, and now I can't even watch movies because I have to re-download the update, which I CAN'T DO!

    Do you recall if you received a double NAT warning when you configured the new AirPort Extreme (AEBS)?

  • BEFW11S4 V4 and Xbox 360 issues

    Back when I had Halo 3, I could play and lag would be the only problem. I recently got FFXI however and I keep getting a 0250 error. A lot of people tell me I need to forward my ports but I don't think that's it since I didn't have to do that for Halo 3. Others say it may be a firmware thing. When I try to update the file, it just fails and I don't know how to fix that.
    Is it my router that's causing this problem or is it the server's problem (Sometimes the issue with FFXI and the same error) either way, I'm losing day by day on my free trial and I can't update the game because of the error.

    For Firmware Upgrade try this : 
    Download TFTP Utility
    Download Firmware 314 KB
     Double click the tftp.exe file and click run :
    For Server- Enter the IP Address of the router that you assigned.  By default, the router is 192.168.1.1...
    For Password- Enter the password you assigned the router. By default, the router’s password is “admin”.
    For File- Click the triple “…” button and browse for the .bin firmware file...
    Click Upgrade button to start upgrading.  A progress bar should show up to show the progress.
    Once the Upgrade is done 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... 
    You should also open the Ports on your router...
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
    Leave 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 1452 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...

  • XBox 360 Issue

    I have the WRT54G V.6 Router and the other night I was using XBox Live and was notified by a friend that he wanted to chat.  However, neither one of us could connect to one another.  He too has a WRT54G.  Both of our NAT status's state it is "Open" however this still is a problem.  I can play other people online but when I go to host a match and invite him we lose connection to one another.  I funny thing is we have talked before and hosted matches.  I am not sure what to do any more.  This is very frustrating and half temped to try a different router even though this router is said to be XBox Compatible.  Please, can someone help!

    Okay i think i did it i now have an open status working in the DMZ and I updated my firmware.  It is now giving me a Open status.  I think this might have been the solution however; I had an open status before when this problem occurred.  I won't know until i try to private chat or host a match with one of my friends.

  • Time Capsule, hardwired to TWO xbox 360's, and NAT issues.

    Hello All,
    I currently have an older Linksys WRT54G (version 1.0 LOL) which has been working fine for years. I recently bought my son an XBOX 360 for Christmas and we went through the issues of NAT and Call of Duty, and basically I have become quite knowledgeable on this topic. I recently added a SECOND XBOX 360, as it became apparent that one would not do with three boys in the house (Plus COD is a blast on line).
    So I created a second Live Account and got the two xbox's running online stably with NAT wide open on both. This required abandoning the Linksys Firmware and installing "Tomato" on the WRT54G. That works GREAT. No modifications were required for the rest of the network including...
    Macbook by Wifi, Minimac Hardwired (ya ya wifi works but hardwire is better), Airport Express (used only to stream music to stereo in family room - from ANY PC/MAC running Itunes...Itunes is VERY NICE), HP printer with network adapter, 5 other PC's including a mix of VISTA, XP, XP Pro, and multiple IPHONES, A Palm Tungsten C, WII, DS and of course the two hard wired XBOXs. NO Problems. The Tomato configuration only required the modifications for the XBOXs specifically as the rest of the network settings were not change after the firmware update.
    What am I interested in? I'd like to upgrade to a Time Capsule for several reasons. One Newer wifi, faster, two frequencies, backup space for growing Mac branch of our network, and as the internet sharing router. AND to be able to access the TC from the internet for file access anywhere! LOVE THAT FEATURE. This requires the TC to be the first device after the cable modem as far as I can tell at this point. (any input on this specific feature would be great).
    So I want to configure the TC with the input from the Cable modem as the main distribution of the internet. Then from the other NETWORK ports connect to my 20 port router for the rest of the house, as well as to the other items currently connected at the site of the current LinkSys Router (Mac Mini, Sony TV).
    Also I need to maintain the current XBOX set up with (as well as Wii) with full open NAT on both XBOXs.
    My question: Anyone here currently using the TC for hardwired connectivity for an XBOX with XBOX live running with open NAT for TWO XBOXs?
    The issues with NAT and TWO XBOXs is that you cannot simply use PORT FORWARDing or PORT Triggering to make sure that the traffic goes to the correct xbox. The XBOX uses specific communication ports and the ROUTER needs to keep the traffic flowing properly or you get disconnected or never get open NAT (must have for XBOX live and internet gaming). There are many write ups on using Port Forwarding for one XBOX and setting the second one in the DMZ, but this does not work all the time.
    The "Tomato" firmware on the LINKSYS allows fooling the router into giving a 'pseudo static' ip address to the XBOX's by doing MAC address based reservation of an IP number and then letting the DHCP give the xbox an IP address. The MAC address based reservation makes sure that the XBOX always gets the same IP address which for some GD reason must be in order for the traffic to be routed to the correct device. (you can of course use the same MAC address reservation for any device on the network).
    Second Question: For those using the TC AND a second WiFi Router to do WIRELESS connection to the XBOX - which device do you have configured as the main INTERNET sharing router? I have read hear what appears to state that the TC is the main router and the other WiFi the secondary. Thus the ROUTING is still being done by the TC and the other wifi device is being used simply as a WiFi Access point/switch. If this is the case would the firmware on the TC allow the proper routing for TWO XBOXs on the network?
    Thank you,
    Mike

    The ports are 53, 80, 88, and 3074. Since you are trying to make two Xbox consoles use those ports and you are trying to connect to a server, what you need to do is to use Port Range Triggering. You can't use Port Range Forwarding since it will only set those ports into listening mode to the IP address you set it. So if you use Port Range Forwarding it will only be open/available to one console(the one using the IP address).
    You need to use PORT RANGE TRIGGERING. Disable Port Range Forwarding and DMZ. You need to enable UPnP as well if your Linksys router have this option (other model doesn't have this option but it is said to be enabled in default settings according to their tech support).
    To solve the lag problem set your MTU size to 1364. This settings will work even if you have one or multiple consoles running behind the router.

  • PS3 / Xbox 360 / PC Router Guide For GAMERS

    Downloadable for Wordpad or Microsoft Word: http://www.filefactory.com/file/b1e67ga/n/Gaming_Router_Guide.rtf
    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.

  • 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.

  • E2000 Xbox 360 wireless connection issues

    My Xbox 360 will not connect to my Cisco E2000 wireless router. It can find the router, but when the Xbox tests the connection it can’t establish a connection with the router. Ironically when I try to use the guest account it can establish a connection with the router before I run in to trouble. Regardless I have looked in to the errors it gives me and they don’t help at all any suggestions will be appreciated.

    What model is the xbox? 1st gen or Slim? 
    There are known issues with Slims WIFi adapter on this console.
    Try setting single mode N, WPA2 only, Auto 20/40Mhz and manual channel 11 with Enable WMM turned ON. 
    Any other WiFi routers in the area? Link> Use http://www.metageek.net/support/metageek-software-archives/ to find out. Use v3. How many?

  • Time Capsule & Xbox 360 over ethernet issues

    I have a Time Capsule connected to my modem, I can access the internet over WiFi on my mac without issues, however when I connect my Xbox 360 to the router via ethernet it will not allow me to connect to Xbox live. What's highly frustrating is that it passes all test apart from the ICMP one. According to some forums, if your receive this then your router is not compatible with xbox live. However this contradicts people being able to connect through their TC on other posts. I can connect to xbox live if I directly plug it into my modem, so it is not anything todo with that side of things.
    Is there any reason why this might be on my TC and how might I go about sorting this problem out?
    Any help much appreciated

    Although I also haven't been able to get it working over Wi-Fi yet, I've got it working pretty happily over what is ostensibly ethernet (powerline networking ftw).
    My guess is that the problem you're having is due to your Time Capsule ignoring stuff (as a security measure) that Xbox Live is sending the Xbox, so what I think you need to do is tell your Time Capsule to stop doing that for the Xbox. You do that by getting your Time Capsule to give the Xbox the same IP address every time it connects, and to not block anything sent to that IP address.
    First we need to get the Xbox's MAC address, which you can find either on the back of the Xbox itself, or by going to the System blade on the Xbox Dashboard, selecting Network Settings, Edit Settings, Additional Settings (push the left thumbstick to the right), Advanced Settings, then the MAC address should be displayed.
    Just to be clear, a MAC address has nothing to do with Apple's computers, standing for Media Access Control, and is a quasi-unique code that nearly every network adapter has. We're using it here so your Time Capsule can recognise the Xbox.
    Now you've got the MAC address, open AirPort Utility, select your Time Capsule and click Manual Settings, the Internet toolbar icon, then the DHCP tab. Click the plus button under the DHCP Reservations box, type Xbox 360 (or whatever you want) as the description, and click Continue. Now type the Xbox's MAC address into the MAC Address box, then click the IPv4 box, change the last number from 2 to 35 (so it's something like 10.0.1.35), and click Done.
    Now we have the Xbox getting the same IP from the Time Capsule, we need to tell the Time Capsule to stop filtering stuff that's sent to that IP, to do that, click the NAT tab (inside the Internet section), then "Enable default host at:" and enter 35 as the last two digits (so it matches up with the IP address we put in the IPv4 box earlier). Finally, click Update, and when your Time Capsule has finished restarting, try the connection test on the Xbox again.

  • WRT54GX4 Wireless Router and Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter

    I just got an Xbox 360 with a Wireless Networking Adapter.  The adapter will recognize the network, but won't connect to it.  Even if I remove the security, the Xbox 360 won't connect.  Is there something else via the router I'm supposed to be doing?  I called Microsoft and they said to open the port settings, but I don't know if that's really the issue and I don't know how to do that if I need to.
    The ports they gave me were:
    TCP 80
    UDP 88
    UDP 3074
    TCP 3074
    UDP 53
    TCP 53
    Thanks for any help if you can.
