Time Capsule & XBOX 360

Has anyone been able to get Time Capsule to work with XBOX 360 live?

I made a little movie in iMovie about how I got my Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter to receive a wireless connection from my 500 GB Time Capsule. I am pretty sure that this is also compatible with Airport Extreme.

  • Time Capsule & Xbox 360 via ethernet

    Hi
    I have a Time Capsule connected to my modem wireless, I can access the internet over WiFi on my mac without issues.
    When I connect my Xbox 360 to the router via ethernet it will not allow me to connect to Xbox live.
    According to some forums people are able to connect their TC with XBOX 360. I can connect to xbox live if I directly plug it into my modem, so it is not anything to do with XBOX itself.
    Does anybody has experience with that stuff?
    Thank you in advance for any help!

    Are you sure?
    I am able to connect my XBOX with my wireless router. That works very good.
    But I am not able to realise a connection between my XBOX 360 and my TC. So probably I have to change some configurations on my TC, right? Maybe it is a problem with my IP or DHCP configurations? I have the same problems with my Media Player ASUS O!Play HDP-R1. With wireless router I can connect the media player via ethernet to the internet but it does not work with Time Capsule.
    I am really frustrated. I don't get it.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Time Capsule & XBOX

    I have my xbox 360 connected to my TC via ethernet, but there are a couple issues. First is there anyway to really configure the router portion of time capsule? There are a few laughable options in the airport utility, but I can't find any setup pane that would actually be useful. I need it to open up some ports and hopefully fix the NAT problems that are created by using the default settings.
    One other thing, I'm pretty sure that while the TC is doing it's hourly update the connection to xbox Live is essentially severed... Anyone else experience this?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Time Capsule / Xbox Live compatibility issues...

    I have my xbox connected to my Time Capsule through ethernet so wireless isn't an issue. I've tried port forwarding and DMZ host which both leave the xbox telling me my NAT is set to strict. So far though it seems I can still use xbox live with my friends and it isn't an issue. However my girlfriend just got into 1 vs 100 and has played a few times so far. We just booted the xbox up today and tried to log in and now it gives us a network connection error each time we try to play. I've tried every various setting I can think of in the Time Capsule and none of them seem to work. Will my gf never be able to play 1 vs 100 again?
    Does anybody else have an Xbox connected to a Time Capsule that is able to play 1 vs 100? Could you please try if you haven't and let me know how it goes for you.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kye

  • Time Capsule, Xbox and NAT settings.

    Hello there..
    I recently moved to a new a apartment and since then, am I having nothing but trouble. I've been struggling with the NAT setting on my iMac, because of bad connections and warnings on my Xbox. I want to change the settings from "strict" to "open", but I have no idea how?...
    I use the newest Time Capsule and my iMac is from late 2009.
    Any help will be much appreciated, thanks!

    Thank you so much for the fast feedback, but i think it's already turned off... When i go to my AirPort Manual Setup, and so on, does it say "Off (Bridge Mode)"...?
    I if it's any help: In my last apartment I had one modem and a Time Capsule. The modem supplied the Internet from our TV cable (I think) and then my Time Capsule that took the internet and made it wireless. I don't know if it's any help, but we didn't have any problems back then.
    Now we only have my Time Capsule, that's using a regular internet cable from a little tiny white box that's hanging on our kitchen wall.
    PS: My Time Capsule didn't create a new network when I moved, it kept the password, the networks name and maybe some settings? I don't know and I still don't have any idea on how to fix it...
    Again, thank you so much for your reply!

  • Connectivity issues with TC & Xbox 360

    Has anyone experienced any issues connecting Xbox 360 wireless with the TC? TC works okay with my Macbook Pro and my wife's ibook. I have called support and have tried almost everything I can think of...I was just wondering if anyone has been successful with this.

    The lack of Xbox connectivity is shaping up as a problem for many early adopters. Last December Xbox had a system update that, according to a list of new features, "added support to connect to Apple Extreme routers in 802.11a/n mode." However early adapters are choosing the 802.11a/n option in manual setup and the Xbox still does not recognize Time Capsule.
    An older workaround for Airport Extreme routers had users set the router for "b and g only" (not n, b and g). This too seems not to work for Time Capsule/Xbox. The only success an adapter has had is with an Ethernet cable plugged directly from router to Xbox -- not an option when the two are in separate rooms.
    Though I believe this is a problem with the Xbox, which rejects many n-class routers, I'm hoping someone here can suggest a workaround for wireless success.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can I use a Time Capsule as a HD for my PS3 or Xbox 360?

    Hi guys, I need some help... I'm thinkong buying a TimeCapsule,

    but I dont want expand their capacity by buying each one a HDD...
    thats why I want a time macine and use it as HDD for all my Devices....
    please help!

    No.  A Time Capsule has no media serving logic.

  • Can I add Time Capsule to a current network running XBOX 360

    I know this has been covered a fair amount in other posts but I'm having a hard time weeding out all of the information to apply to my exact situation.
    I currently have an Airport Express as my main wireless delivery system. This has been working great for the past few years with no problems at all. We also have an XBOX 360 hooked up to the wireless network as well without any problems. I also have another Airport Express used to stream music to some speakers in another room in the house.
    I just bought Time Capsule but it hasn't arrived yet. When it arrives I would like to set up the Time Capsule to be my main wireless delivery system in order to provide wireless "n" to my AppleTV and get better speeds.
    Would I be able to just connect my current Airport Express to the Time Capsule and have it continue to send out the wireless network it always has? Basically I would like to continue to have my current wireless network running so that my XBOX 360 can continue to run on the "g" network without problems. But I would be able to do everytying else on the "n" network.
    I'm not savvy at all with networks. Is this what people call a "dual-band" network? It seems like once the TC is set up I could just plug in my current AEX and have it continue to send out the "g" network. Is this correct?
    Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

    Doesn't matter anymore with wireless-n adapter working great!

  • Time Capsule with Xbox 360 Live

    Hi,
    I just bought a Time Capsule and it works perfectly except that my NAT type on Xbox Live is now set to strict instead of open. It takes forever to join a online game so it's really annoying me.
    This is my setup:
    ---> Modem ---> Wire from Modem to Time Capsule (in WAN port) ---> 1 wire from TC to PC and 1 wire from TC to Xbox 360
    My PC is running on Windows 7 and I'm using AirPort 5.5.3.
    I've tried pretty much all the tutorials I could find online, but unfortunately none of them seem to work. I've set connection sharing to 'share one public IP-address', enables NAT port mapping protocol, added the Xbox Live ports in the Port Mapping Assistant, and my Xbox is using the IP which I set in the mapping assistant.
    Has anybody got an idea what I should change to get my NAT type to open? Thank you in advance.

    Does your ISP allow pppoe connections?
    If so you can setup the 546 in bridge mode.. just use the internal setup wizard, choose bridge, and finish the wizard. Then in TC choose internet tab and for connection type use pppoe and put in your ISP username and password.
    This is perhaps the best method. But it depends on the ISP using pppoe which is common in some places and rare in others. For instance in Australia where I am, all our ISP provide pppoe, and most do pppoa as well. In UK and many places in Europe, they use pppoa, which cannot be bridged to a router. So you must bridge somewhere else or use a different technique of handling the problem.
    The problem with the 546 in router mode, is that it uses cone nat. This starts to get complicated but some games depend on port forwarding of UDP protocol packets. You can indeed setup port forwarding or upnp in the speedtouch to handle this, but it still fails. There are special commands required to allow port forwarding through NAT.
    See this thread.

    Although it relates to a different model on a PS3 the basic issue is identical across all the thomson modem products.. and I am very pleased to finally be able to offer a solution. I worked hard with people who actually owned the box to track down the problem and find a solution.

  • Time Capsule + Airport Extreme + xbox 360

    I currently have an Airport Extreme in my den on the main floor of our house. My son has an xbox 360 in the basement. Because of the compatibility issues with the "n" mode and Xbox 360, my son runs a 100' cable from the Airport Extreme to the xBox 360 because we don't want to drop down to the "b," etc. modes.
    So, If I were to get Time Capsule, use it as my primary wireless base station/backup, could I then move my current Airport Extreme down next to the xBox 360 to extend the signal and then simply run, like, a 2 ft. cord from the Airport Extreme to the xBox 360.
    I hate that 100 ft. cord--is this a solution?

    We are all making the assumption (though it isn't stated in the specs) that Time Capsule will support the wireless distribution system (WDS) feature provided in all previous Airport Extreme base station models. If that assumption is correct then yes - your proposed plan for a wireless connection to the XBox would work just fine.
    Before purchasing I suggest you wait until Time Capsule actually ships, and Apple makes the user manual for this device available.

  • Time Capsule as Samba Server + Xbox 360?

    I'm trying to connect a my xbox 360 or PS3 to my time capsule so I can dump my podcasts onto my time capsule and then stream them to my TV (without buying an AppleTV... or Mac Mini, which is what I really want). I seem to understand I can connect my 360 to a Samba server, and that the TC can be a samba server, but I can't seem to figure out how to set that up.
    If anyone knows how to either connect a 360 to a samba server or how to stream media to an xbox 360 (or PS3) from a TC... I would love some help! I've been searching Google relentlessly, but my time on message boards has taught me I'm terrible at searching...

    Although the Time Capsule (TC) offers File Server services for SMB/CIFS, it is neither a Samba server nor a full-featured multimedia server. You can certainly store podcasts or other media files on it, but it will not have any means to stream these data to the XBox 360 or any other multimedia player device via the TC natively.
