Trouble connecting xbox 360 to e2000 wirelessly

I have an original Xbox 360 (wifi not built in) and the external wifi adapter. With all previous Cisco routers, I have been able to connect my Xbox successfully and quickly. Now, however, I am experiencing much difficulty.
I have verified I am using the latest firmware for my router, and configured my router like this: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=082ee344b4754044b1ff95fcd78b5305_4576.xml&pid=80&r... in terms of ports. I have also used the Xbox's MAC address to give a static IP address via my router's DNS.
The Xbox can see both my main wireless SSID and my guest SSID but cannot connect to either.

Hi Gammit, lower security to WPA2/WPA Mixed Personal. Set channel to 3,6, or 9 . Make sure firmware is up to date.

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

Connecting XBOX 360 to WRT54G wireless network

I have a Linksys Wireless Router (WRT 54G) and I have set up a wirless network with my xbox 360. (sucessfully connected to Live).
I have windows XP and latest Zune software installed and thought it would be easy to connect my XBOX to my Zune. 5 days later (and one hour wasted with tech support) and I am still stuck.
I have enabled sharing in the zune software and it does indeed recognize that a 360 is available. But when I try to connect the 360 it cannot find the PC.
I have closed Zone alarm and windows firewall is not running.
What do I need to tell the linksys router to enable the XBOX to see my PC?
The XBOX help says the following need to be enabled?
Port Name Protocol Scope 2869 UPnP Framework TCP My network (subnet) only 1900 UPnP Framework UDP My network (subnet) only 10284 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10283 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10282 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10281 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10280 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10243 Windows Media Connect TCP My network (subnet) only
The xbox help tells me I need to enable ports??? If I do this then I am only able to enter the 4th number ie AAA.BBB.CCC.DD What should I enter for DD, 1? Will this fix it?
Please help and put me out of my misery.

well...you need to assign a static ip add on the x-box ( 192.168.1.10 ) . Also , assign static DNS addresses ( from the router's status page )

WRT54G v6 - Troubles connecting XBOX 360 to XBOX Live?

I just purchased a new XBOX 360 and I'm finding that I can't connect to XBOX Live using my WRT54G v6 (firmware version 1.01.1).
If I connect the XBOX 360 directly to my DSL modem, I can connect to XBOX Live.
If I try to connect the XBOX 360 to the WRT54G v6 (using either a direct ethernet connection, or using the XBOX 360 Wireless adapter) I can't connect to XBOX Live.
When I run the diagnostic tests on the XBOX 360, all of my connection tests pass with flying colours.
Has anyone else had this problem? How do you fix it?

hi, i have just recently bought the wireless adapter for the 360, and i keep getting boot off xbox live when ever my brother turns his PS3 on or off. even when a house call is made or comes in i get booted. if my brother doesnt turn his PS3 on or a call doesnt come in or go out, i can play fine, but once one of those happens i get booted. noone knows what i can do, xbox told me to call linksys, i was never able to talk to a real person on the phone, just machines. does any one have a clue??? i was told to change my NAT, but it's open, so i dont know what to do.

Trouble getting Xbox 360 talking to Media Center PC

Trying to connect Xbox 360 with Media Center PC using Wireless-N products from Linksys.
Router is WRT300N.
So now I have tried the following setups.
1. 360 wired directly to router and PC connecting wireless with Wireless-N USB adapter - Doesnt work
2. 360 connected with wireless-g bridge to router connected to PC directly - works but performance not great
3. 360 connected with wireless-g bridge to router and PC connected to router via wireless-g bridge - works but performance not great (but better since router is sitting in the hallway halfway between each room.
4. 360 directly connected to router and PC directly connected to router - works great, but of course cable just laying on the floor (not acceptable).
So the problem is the Wireless-N USB adapter. Anyone have any clue what the cause could be. What kind of configuration would stop this from working.
What I want is the 360 plugged directly into router and PC connecting via Wireless-N to the router. Cant do the opposite because no Wireless-N bridges.

Nope the only Wireless USB adapter that works with the 360 is the one MS makes and it is A/B/G. No one makes a Wireless-N bridge. So need 360 to plug ethernet cable right into the back of the WRT300N and PC connect to WRT300N with a Wireless-N card.
Both the 360 and the PC can see the WRT300N when they are connected the way I want. The problem is the 360 cant see the Media Center PC when setup that way.
I just dont get it. I swap out the Wireless-N USB adapter for a Wireless-G bridge and things work.

E3000 and Xbox 360 5Ghz and Wireless N issue

Hello everyone,
Bought the E3000 a couple of weeks ago, and I'm pretty pleased thus far. I do have one issue with it though, my Xbox 360 has a wireless N adapter and should support wireless N and 5Ghz dual band, but it does not see this network. It only spots the 2,4ghz one. Have the latest firmware installed, but it didn't seem to fix the problem. I just read that this router could have some issues with this.
Once it connects to the 2,4 Ghz network though, it says it's connected by using wireless G.
Anyone got a solution for this?
Thanks!

The problem is your router, cisco needs to update the fimware to be compatible. There is nothing you can do to get it to work, except to switch the router out with a different name brand and it will work. This is a problem with their biggest flag ship router Cisco E4200 as well. You will not be able to connect to 5Ghz N nor 2.4Ghz N, only can connect to 2.4Ghz G or 5 Ghz A with or without security This has been going on for awhile with cisco.

Connecting XBOX 360 Wirelessly to WRT300N V1.1

If you suffer from a slow connection when using your Xbox 360 usb wireless adapter and the wrt300n router, then fret no more! I called both xbox and linksys and below is what I came up with, which made my connection to Xbox Live work properly. This may even work with other routers as well
Setup for WRT300N V1.1 connected wirelessly to an XBOX 360 USB Wireless Adapter.
Connection Type: High Speed Cable Internet.
Select Setup
Select Basic Setup
Change the MTU setting to manual, edit size to be 1365.
Save
Select Security
Deselect the “Filter Anonymous Internet Requests”
Save
Select Applications & Gaming
Select PortRange Forwarding
For the first port input the following:
Start ~ EndPort: 88 to 88
Protocol: UDP
To IP Address: 100
Check Enable
Application Name: xbox1
For the second port input the following:
Start ~ EndPort: 3074 to 3074
Protocol: Both
To IP Address: 100
Check Enable
Application Name: xbox2
Save
Select Administration
Disable Upnp
Save
This should allow for a smooth connection.

Thank you for your reply.  However, there is still some confusion on my part.
How does setting up a static IP on the PC help me connect to the Xbox 360 wirelessly?   Please explain.
The static IP Doesn't help you connect wirelessly, it helps you set up port forwarding properly.   So that is step 1
Step 2 would be for you connecting wirelessly, and I am pretty sure the actiontec is already security enabled, so if it is then you would look on the router itself for a silverish sticker that has an ESSID and a WEP KEY   When going through your xbox set up you will have a list of networks to choose from, make sure what you try to connect to matches the ESSID found physically on the router, and then it will ask you for a password or a network key and that is when you put in your WEP key.   That would get you on wirelessly.
the static ip is exclusively for your port forwarding and should only really be used if once your connected to the xbox wirelessly - if it's still having trouble.   that would be when you would set up the port forwarding as I kinda described earlier. so you put in your xbox the static ip address, and then your router will route traffic to and from it based on that ip.   mine didn't need the static ip it would connect wirelessly automatically or via dhcp, but when the network dragged or i got bad performance, that is when I went to port forwarding.

WRT610N 5ghz xbox 360 wireless N adapter won't connect (xbox 360 "Wireless Mode = Not connected")

Hi folks,
Looks like some other folks have reported similar. Haven't seen if an answer has been found anywhere.
WRT610v2 running latest firmware.
xbox 360 sees both the 2.4 network (ssid = network1) and the 5.0 network (ssid network2) when it does its scan.
Initially, xbox showed network strength for 2.4 network at 3 out of 4 bars and 5.0 network at 1 out of 4 bars.
Connects to 2.4 network just fine
Won't pull an ip address and reports "Not connected" when I select the 5.0 network.
I tweaked the wireless settings per some suggestions I found in this forum and now it shows the 5.0 network at 4 out of 4 bars signal strength. Also turned security on and off and xbox 360 reported the changes in security on the 5.0 network.
So the xbox 360 is definitely seening the 5.0 network. and can tell if it is running WPA2 or not.
If it can see the 5.0 network and recognizes what security and network type (infrastructure) is set, would would stop it from connecting to the WRT610n router and getting an IP address? No mac filters or firewalls are set and, again, connects just fine and gets an ip address if I select the 2.4 (network1 ssid) instead.
Won't work if I manually set IP, subnet, gateway, dns either.
Have tried mixed versus dedicated on the N radio...
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks!

Hello,
Thanks for the suggestions. Tried as you suggested but still no luck. Seems to see the 5ghz ssid just fine with plenty of strength but just will not pull an ip address or even connect if I manually assign.
Any other thoughts?
thanks again for taking the time to respond.

XBOX 360:Sharing a wireless connection?

I bought an xbox 360 today. My dorm room connection only allows one MAC address to connect at a time, and even though I tried changing the 360 MAC address to match my powerbook’s, I had no luck plugging in at the data point. So I got myself a wireless adapter, hoping I could share the Ethernet connection over the PB's built in airport. It works fine with my PSP so I figured it wouldn’t be a problem with the xbox.
It recognises the wireless network and doesn’t have a trouple connecting, but it won’t assign an ip address. I really want to get this working. Does anyone have any advice?

Give this a try

Creating wireless network (& connecting Xbox 360)

Hello,
I have an iMac G5 and a newly acquired Xbox 360..unfortunately both are in sperate rooms.
I have a Sppedtouch USB modem and would like to create a wireless network, so I could access Xbox Live downstairs.
Any recommendations on a router (?) and also would Xbox Live be available if the iMac wasn't turned on?
I apologise in advance for my lack of knowldge!
Thanks in advance,
Ben

No , you have to run ethernet cable from your modem to the router .. and then it has 4 wired access PORTS for you to plug your systems in with ethernet (or , since you want to run the 360 from downstairs , wirelessly) . You dont have Ethernet on the iMac or modem ? i thought they came with gigabyte ethernet . If you can't get to it with ethernet and need usb , you need a different model router which i'm sure someone else in here will have info on for you .
cheers

Xbox 360 and other wireless device can't find my TC

Xbox 360 and my Wireless N setup.

I am currently using WRT350N (the storage version of the 300N) and a WUSB300N for my for my laptop using wireless N. They all work pretty well together. I recently got an xbox360 and I am looking to get it connected to the internet and I have a few options for that. I'd like to get some questions answered before I actually choose an option.
1. One option is to get the default Xbox360 Wireless USB adapter is a bit expensive and is a G only adapter, I assume I would have to switch all my other devices to G to get this to work correct? It would be nice to keep using N and not have to flip settings when ever I switch from laptop to 360.
2. Another option is to get a WAP4400N wireless access point. This is about $150 but is more versatile. Could I hook this directly to my 360 and use it to connect to my WRT350N with out any issues?
3. Lastly an option is to forget all this and just deal with having to run a 50' cable when ever I want to connect to xbox live for $5.

Same here, I recently got a WRT300N router. I got the 802.11n wireless adapter for my PC and I have an xbox 360 with the standard xbox 360 wireless adapter by microsoft.
I setup my network. When I double click My Network Places I can see all the devices on my network. I can see my xbox, my router, and my computer. I have my firewall completely disabled. I have enabled full sharing of all my media to my xbox. My xbox is able to connect to the router and I am able to log into xbox live too. Everything appears to be working both my PC and Xbox connected to the router just fine. My computer can see my xbox.
I'm running Vista Ultimate and when I try to add my xbox as a media center extender, WMC cannot find my xbox. I enter the 8 digit code but when I try to connect Windows Media Center cannot for some reason see my xbox or find it. Likewize with the xbox. It cannot find a computer running the WMC server.
Now here's the wierd part. I hook up a hard wired connection from my PC to my router (not my xbox, my router, my xbox is still communicating wirelessly). All of the sudden a notice pops up in my icon tray saying that windows has detected a media center extender and asks me if I want to setup up with WMC. So now I repeate the same process and try to add the xbox again inside WMC. It works perfectly. I am able to run media center and stream TV, etc.
Now that it's all setup, I removed the wired connection and WMC can no longer see my xbox. I think it has something to do with the fact that xbox is wireless g and the router and PC are communicating with wireless n. However it doesn't make sense because the xbox communicates through the router anyway and the router is backwards compatible with g so can anyone help with this problem?
Thanks

Connecting XBox 360 Live to Verizon netbook

I purchased an XBox 360 Live for my son for Christmas. I cannot get it to connect. We originally had Verizon Wireless Broadband w/ an internal modem. I went and purchased a Verizon USB760 to get service and also a Cradlepoint Router from Best Buy. Neither of these have worked. Any suggestions?

Thanks. So what would be your advice?
Cable or DSL service, or Verizon FIOS if available.
Satellite will have latency problems as bad as or worse than mobile broadband.
As stated above, mobile broadband has issues with latency and with VERY low monthly usage caps compared to cable/DSL. (Most cable/DSL providers institute throughput caps and not monthly usage caps but that's changing, however most that have caps now have set them high enough that only hardcore torrenters can hit them - e.g. I've heard 250GB thrown around as a number for Comcast.)
*disclaimer* I am not now, nor have I ever been, an employee of Best Buy, Geek Squad, nor of any of their affiliate, parent, or subsidiary companies.

Connect Xbox to iTunes over wireless

I have a mac running 10.6.8 connecting wirelessly to netgear wireless router. I also have an xbox 360 connected to the internet. They are on different floors of my house. I'd like the xbox to be able to access my itunes on my mac for music and videos. How do I do this??? Thank you for any help.

Thank you very much, so it seems like my first problem has been solved by the elgato hybrid.
Any ideas on using the imac as a bridging device? anyone had any experience with this?
