Slow Xbox 360 Wired Connection Speed

My Xbox 360 Elite console is connected to my home network using a wired connection, but it has a slower speed (gathered using tests on this website) than all of the wireless devices connected to the network. The console achieves about 3 mbps, which is more than 3x slower than what all the wireless devices can achieve.
Here is a basic network map:
ISP ---> Master Router ---> 5-port Ethernet Switch ---> Slave Router ---> TV
                                                     |
                                                     v
                                               Xbox 360
All wired devices have been labelled
All wireless devices are connected to either router
The TV cannot be tested as it does not have an Internet browser
Can anyone explain why the console achieves a much lower speed than the wireless devices? If so, can a solution be provided?
Thank you.

I forgot to mention I recently changed the wiring of the network.
Old wiring:
ISP ---> Master Router ---> 5-port Ethernet Switch ---> Slave Router
                                           |                     |
                                           v                     v
                                     Xbox 360              TV
New & current wiring:
ISP ---> Master Router ---> 5-port Ethernet Switch ---> Slave Router ---> TV
                                                     |
                                                     v
                                               Xbox 360
The old wiring made the Xbox 360 download at ~300 kbps and not able to stream videos (neither could the TV). I don't understand why the change of wiring increased the speed so much.

  • Time Capsule+ Xbox 360 wired connection

    I am looking to pick up a Time Capsule to replace my airport express as my main router. I would like to plug in my Xbox 360 to one of the ethernet ports on the back of the time capsule, while still having a wireless network for my computers.
    Are there any issues that I need to be aware of? Being that it is a "standard" router in a sense I would hope that everything likes to shake hands with each other.

    Works fine.
    Xbox360 although may not connect to TC. Reason WPA security.
    Work around> connect Express wired to TC set express to create its own network>Xbox360 will connect to Express wireless network fine including Live.

  • New Problem:ONT Fixed Xbox 360 dropping connections

    Ok SO After I got a new ont today, connection drops to all of my devices,execept my xbox 360, wired, are good, my 360 randomly disconnects every 15 minutes or so even just sitting on the dashboard, Ports are open, connected directly to the modem, and my dns servers are google dns 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4. Cannot figure this out for the life of me, just my xbox 360.

    Are you saying that the connection drops to your xbox 360 but the other devices stay connected? We only ask this because you mentioned that it disconnects every 15 minutes or so. Is it the farthest away from your router? You may just want to change the wireless channel in the router. It sounds like you may have some potential wireless interference going on.

  • How can i get an xbox 360 to connect to my time capsule via WIRED connection?

    I have a Time Capsule and i need to connect my xbox 360 to it because my stepdad has the network in this house set up crazily. He gets mad if i ask him to change anything because it is how he wants it and it works with EVERYTHING ELSE. I do not have a wireless adapter so i need to connect the xbox to my time capsule via a wired connection
    Thanks =]

    Here is what I would look into.
    Use iCloud and photo stream to upload pictures taken with the iPad.
    Find a remote log in utility, or web based app to then remote to your computer.
    Download the files from photo stream to your time capsule.
    As far as recommending a remote log in utility. I have not experience in that area and would need to do research my self.

  • WRT310N gives my wireless Xbox 360 terrible connection when PC is wired

    When my wired PC is linked to my WRT310N, my wireless Xbox 360 has a terrible connection and is repeatedly disconnected. When my PC is not hooked up, my Xbox 360 gets a perfect connection, just like it's wired. I've had this router for around a year and just ran into this problem 4 days ago. Discovered the problem an hour ago.

    If the above settings didn't made much difference to the connection on your XBOX, then i think you need to upgrade the firmware of your Router.
    Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in search tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop...
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    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...

  • Slow Internet on wired connection, fast wireless on same network

    Hi,
    My Internet connection has just been upgraded from 2MB/s to 10MB/s. To confirm the upgrade I have used www.speedtest.net with Firefox 3.5.1 to test my upload/download speeds. I have 2 computers on my network which consists of a cable modem connected to a white airport base station with 128 bit WEP encryption in 802.11 b/g compatible mode. The 2 computers are a dual 2.8 ghz MacPro which is wired directly into the Airport base station by Ethernet and an iMac 1.83 Intel core 2 duo which connects wirelessly. Both machines are running OS X 10.5.7. The much faster MacPro only achieves a download speed of 5.7MB/s over its wired connection while the slower iMac achieves 9.8MB/s - very close to the advertised speed over its wireless connection. Both upload at the same 512kb speed. These are consistent speeds not one offs so I am wondering why the difference? The MacPro is my main machine so I'd like to have the best speed possible on that.
    I have tried connecting the MacPro directly to the Cable Modem, bypassing the airport base station and get the same speeds.
    Any ideas? What else can I try?
    Thanks for reading all that, I've put in as many details as possible, I'm really stumped!
    Thanks in advance,
    Alan.

    First, be sure you're not confusing "MB/s" (megabytes/sec) and "Mb/s" (megabits/sec). These will normally differ by (roughly) a factor of 10. The value of "9.8MB/s" over 802.11g is presumably actually "9.8Mb/s", as the higher value exceeds the maximum rate for that protocol.
    Second, what type of Ethernet cable ("CAT-x") are you using? An older cable can cut your maximum data rate.
    What speed do you see with the iMac if you connect it via Ethernet?

  • No signal from XBOX 360 when connected to a 65HT2U through HDMI

    Good day peepz!
    I tried to connect a  XBOX 360 to my 65HT2U and it says no video signal
    I already tried using other HDMI cables
    and resetting the XBOX display settings by using Y and the right trigger
    Still it shows no video signal
    The weird thing is the XBOX works with my Samsung TV's HDMI ports and
    other dervices can work on the three HDMI ports of my 65HT2U.
    Is this a compatibility issue between the XBOX360 models and my Toshiba TV?

    Hi,
    Can you post back with the following.
    1.  The full Model No. and Product No. of the notebook ( from the service tag underneath your notebook ) - see Here for a further explanation.
    2.  The full version of the operating system you are using ( ie Windows 7 32bit ).
    3.  The full name of the display adapter.

  • WRT120N to Xbox 360 Wireless Connection

    hi,
    My wrt120n was working flawlessly with my xbox 360 until two weeks ago. I can connect to xbox live with no problem but it will always disconnect within 10 to 15 minutes, my PC does not have this problem.
    My SSID and WPA2 personal are setup properly. I have port range forwarded 53 - 3074, yet I still disconnect. My NAT does not come up as strict or moderate.When I watch my network on the 360 it drops the connection entirely for around 3 seconds and automaticly finds it again. My IPs are setup staticly. My firmware has been upgraded.
    Any advise would be appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It's Good to know that your issue has been resolved...Enjoy .

  • Xbox 360 Wired Controller is not working with Windows 7.

    Not to long ago I was playing Halo 2 PC using my wired Xbox 360 Controller. All of a sudden my computer (which uses Windows 7) decides not to recognize it. Every time I plug in the controller in now it comes up as "Unknown Device". I have not changed anything,
    I mean anything. Yes I have tried all methods of fixing the problem but they do not work.  If someone knows a sure fine way to get the controller working again it would be much appreciated.

    I 'm using a wired Gamestop Xbox 360 controller and I got mine to work using these steps. Good luck.
    If you already have the software installed, go to programs and features and uninstall Microsoft XBOX 360 Accessories 1.2.
    1) Download the drivers from
    http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=gaming
    2) Choose Gaming >
    Xbox 360 Controller for Windows > Windows 7 64 bit > English.Don’t run the drivers. 
    Save them to a folder. (Or Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows depending on your controller)
    3) Right click the
    Xbox360_64Eng file in the folder you downloaded to and click "create shortcut"
    4) Right click the shortcut you created.
    Select properties.
    5) On the compatibility tab in properties, click "Run this program in compatibility mode"
    ChooseWindows Server 2008 Service Pack 1 as the compatibility mode. Apply setting and click ok.
    6) Right Click on the shortcut and select "Run as administrator"
    7) With your controller plugged in go to
    Device Manager.  You should see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class. It located under Mice and other pointing if you do, you have arrived. If you don't, try this.
    Continue only if you don’t see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class in Device Manager
    8) Right click the unknown device that shows a problem.
    9) Update Driver Software > Browse My computer for Driver Software > Let Me Pick from a List of Drivers
    10) Choose Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class > XBOX 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows
    Ignore the warning.
    Should work now.

  • 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?

  • Range extender impact on wired connections speed

    I have an EA4500 with 2 re1000 range extenders.  I understand that the range extenders cause the wireless speed to be degraded.  My question is: I have 4 devices wired directly to my EA4500--will the range extenders have any impact on the speed of the wired devices?  Tks.

    Hi fkubick. As far as I know, it will not affect the wired connection.

  • Having issues with 2 xbox 360 slims connected with an Open NAT

    I have 2 of the newer xboxes connected via an actiontec MI424-WR Rev. E and I'm having issues getting an Open NAT on either. 1 is connected via Ethernet and 1 is connected wirelessly. My router is also connected to my computer. I havetried portforwarding and using a dmz host on 1 resulting in 1 360 having an open NAT(wireless one) and the wired one having a moderate NAT. Anyway I could get them to work together without asking Verizon to send me a new router or buying a new one. Please help.

    I am having this issue also.  I think the UnPNP is broken on the ActionTec.  I may be getting rid of FiOS for this reason.  I had 3 Xboxes working from my DSL connection and LINKSYS router no trouble.  Very disappointed !   I was hoping to get a poll going so I posted my similar issue.

  • 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.
