Wireless to XBox Live?

I'm hoping this is the right forum and I apologize if it's not.
I'm planning on buying a wireless router to hook up to X-Box Live. So I was wondering if there's a preferred router to pick up that'll be compatible with my eMac?
Any help or info will always be appreciated
eMac G4   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

Any Ethernet-compatible router will work on a Mac, as long as it's a hardware one.

  • WRK54G - Unable to connect wirelessly to Xbox Live on 360

    Hi, I recently purchased the Xbox 360 Wireless adapter to use to connect with Xbox Live, because in my new house a wired connection is not feasible. However, when I try to connect to Live, the 360 is not recognizing a wireless network. I know that the WRK54G has not received an official Microsoft Xbox Live certification, but is there a way to use this router to connect to Xbox Live wirelessly? Thank you.

    Xbox settings :-
    Please click on the tab "Application and gaming" and click on sub
    tab "Port range forwarding"
    1) On the first line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box
    type in 88, in end box type in 88, in protocol keep it both, in ip
    address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box.
    2)   On the second line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box
    type in 3074, in end box type in 3074, in protocol keep it both, in ip
    address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box.
    3) Now save the settings
    4) Once you return to the setup page, click on the tab "Administration"
    and disable the UPNP and save the settings.
    5) Now assign the given ip address on your xbox

       subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0
       default gateway :- 192.168.1.1
    Please assign the dns address on the xbox
      primary dns :- 4.2.2.2

  • G4+Netgear wireless router+Xbox Live

    O.K, I have a G4 connected to a Netgear wireless router, I also have an Xbox that I wish to connect to Xbox Live, can I get the thing working with an Airport Express??
    or should I buy the microsoft wireless adapter?(If I could i'd rather buy the express)

    No, in order to use the ethernet port of an Airport Express (AX) in this manner you need to use WDS and that is not possible with a Netgear router.
    or should I buy the microsoft wireless adapter?(If I
    could i'd rather buy the express)
    The Microsoft adapter will probably work.

  • WRT54GSV4 wireless router xbox live nat help

    I need help getting this router to be open nat for xbox live.  I have tried everything in the book and i can only get a moderate nat.  Could someone help me with this please?

    Who is your ISP ? If the ISP is DSL the,you need to convert the modem into the bridge mode to get your X-Box working.

  • Why?  xbox live doesn't connect to Airport Extreme wireless network

    Xbox live wireless adapter is not connecting to my wireless network. xBox live support said to change to WEP security (does not support WPA security). Tried this but it doesn't work either. I can't find any information on Apple support or xBox live support that confirms whether or not the router is even compatible with xbox live. Does anyone know or have experience with this?

    Go to your computer and run the Airport Utility. Click on the Manual Setup button. In the tabs you'll see Summary, Base Station, Wireless, etc. Select Wireless. Look about 1/2 way down and you'll see Wireless Security. Click on the popup button and select None. At the bottom of the window click on Update. You'll go offline momentarily as the base station is updated. Now go back to your XBox and connect. Now download all the updates you can.
    Once this is finished, go back to the base station and repeat the steps except set the security to WPA and see if your XBox will connect. If not, set the airport for WEP and see if that works.

  • How to connect to Xbox Live with the Actiontek GT704-WGB wireless router

    If the title got you here, then you are probably a Verizon DSL customer who is trying to connect your Xbox to Xbox Live with the Actiontek GT704-WGB wireless router and are getting nothing but errors saying, "your NAT is set too high", or, "Your MTU setting is too low", etc.  Well, after many calls to Xbox support, Actiontek support, and Verizon support, I finally came up with the solution myself.
    All that is needed is a little techie know-how about router settings and you'll do just fine!  However, if you are uncomfortable with doing it yourself (and it is really really easy to do!) then you can call Verizon support and have a tech support rep remotely conntect to your PC and make the changes for you: however, you have to speak with someone in advanced tech support and to do that you have to agree to a 1 year support contract to the tune of $14.95 per month in order for them to do it!  Scam???  You be the judge!
    So, here are the steps to take to get it working and by the way, YOU CAN NOT GET THE XBOX TO CONNECT TO THIS ROUTER WIRELESSLY!!  YOU MUST CONNECT YOUR XBOX TO THE ROUTER WITH AN ETHERNET CABLE IN ORDER FOR THIS TO WORK!!!  If you don't heed this warning, you will unfortunatly go through all the steps below, only to find that you get the same errors but, ethernet is faster than wireless so it's better!....right?.....right?   (hears crickets chirping)....right?  Oh well, I tried!  Also, you must have your Xbox on in order to change the router settings (which you'll see why later) Anyway, here's the steps:
    1) On your PC, open a browser window and type in the address bar:  192.168.1.1 and press enter.
    2) You will then see the interface on which you will make changes to the router's settings.  If at any time you are prompted for a username and password (which should happen right after you press enter) the defaults are: username: admin password: password.  If you have changed these, enter what you changed them to.
    3)Click on the icon on the top labelled "Advanced Setup"
    4)In the left section, click "WAN IP Address"
    5)At the warning screen, click "yes"
    6)Scroll down until you see "MTU setting" and enter 1370.  NOTElease don't be tempted to either enter 1500 or leaving it at 1500 (which is the default) because you might know that 1500 is the maximum at which this can be set which is TOO HIGH AND WILL NOT WORK!  Trust me and enter 1370 and then click on "apply"
    7)Click on the top icon labelled "Security"
    8)In the left column, click on "applications".  This is where we are going to open the 3 ports that Xbox Live uses to communicate with your Xbox.
    9)In the drop down box labelled "PC Name" select "Xbox 360". This is why you had to have your console on and connected cuz if you didn't, it would not show up on the drop down list!
    10)Under "category" click on the bubble next to "user"
    11)Click on "New" which is one of the blue buttons near the bottom.
    12)As for the rule name, I entered "Xbox" but you can put whatever you want but I'd use that so you know it's the ports you opened for the console.
    13)For protocol, select TCP. (Yes you will also open the same ports for UDP but for some reason if you select TCP.UDP instead of doing them seperatly it doesn't work.....I dunno why!?
    14)For all 3 "Port start", "Port End", and "Port Map Start" put the # 80.
    15)Click "apply"
    16)Now, select UDP and put the same port # 80 and again click "apply"
    17)Repeat steps 13 through 16 except with the numbers 3074 and 53, clicking apply after each one.  What you should have now on the bottom are a list of all the ports you opened, one TCP and one UDP for each number totalling 6 entries.
    18)Click "back" to return to the Applications screen.
    19)If you have to, select Xbox 360 for PC name, and click the bubble next to "user" and you'll now see the entry called "Xbox" or whatever you called it.
    20)Click that entry to highlight it and then click the blue "add" button to the left and then click "apply" at the bottom.
    21)Close the browser screen and turn off your PC and Xbox and any other hardware connected to the router.
    22)Turn the router off and unplug it and wait about 5 minutes.  It can take this long for any residual current in the router to dissapate and for the NAT table to clear itself.
    23)Turn on the router and wait for the internet light to come on green meaning the router has booted and has an internet connection.
    24)Turn on the Xbox AND ONLY THE XBOX!
    25)There is no need to go into network setting as when the Xbox is connected by ethernet, it automatically configures and connects intself.  You can, however go into network settings and perform a connection test but this to is not necessary.
    You now should be able to connect to Xbox Live!  If not, you've done something wrong and must either go through all the steps again or let Verizon do it for you (for a fee that is).

    I followed jtktlw's instructions to the letter.  Problem was I had already enabled UPnP before doing so.  Afterward I disabled UPnP and rebooted....no change.  I reset the MTU to 1500...boom, it works.  Seems for me all I needed was to open the right ports to get it to work.

  • WRT54G Can't play on xbox live and connect wirelessly to router or internet from comp at same time

    Hi guys.
    I have a WRT54G and since I have had it I havent been able to connect wirelessly to see my router or get online form my comp while my xbox 360 is on xbox live. My other computer though, which is wired, can connect online anytime wether the xbox 360 is on line or not. Any help would be nice.

    I have a similar problem to this. I do some online gaming, and while my roommates are playing XBOX live (which is a lot now that halo 3 came out) I cant even connect, and if i do connect i get such a high latency it is unplayable. I would also greatly appreciate any help on this issue.

  • Having Trouble Connecting To Xbox Live using my router and wireless adapter.

    Okay, so this is kinda long but I'll try and speed through. Recently I moved from my old place to a newer place (larger) and before, my old spot worked perfectly, no troubles. Now, eversince i got my internet cable service re-hooked up I've had problems. My internet is fine, that's not the problem. It's my xbox live for my 360. My cable guy pretty much set up my living room with the main router and not my studio office which I keep my 360 in. Instead he told me it would be much easier to just go out and buy a wireless adapter for my PC to recieve the signal from my living room off the main family computer. Well, went out and bought a $80.00 wireless adapter top of the line and it works perfectly, I get the internet really fast. Problem is, my 360 will not connect now. It always says DNS failed. Well here's the problem. I have a Linksys router in my studio office that sits on top of my PC that i have connected to the ethernet of my PC, then in the 2nd or 1st port i have my 360ethernet wire connected to my xbox360. Still it says DNS failed. Shouldn't my router be getting the signal from my Wireless adapter that it's receiving from the living room? It's connected through the same computer yet it doesnt connect. It finds my I address, and it finds the network adapter yet it always fails my DNS. I've tried evern switching the xbox360 ethernet to the main ethernet port on my pc and that just makes me fail the IP address test. I need help guys. My wireless adapter for the pc is a Belkin but my router is a linksys and not sure if the 360 just doesnt recognize it or not. Is there settings I'm missing or something? Please help!!!
    The Burninator...

    On your 360 if u getting an error msg DNS failed,you can login to your router setup page and go to status tab, not the Static DNS1 and DNS2 numbers and u can give a static dns to your 360. its will resolve ur issue.

  • Will the AirPort Express Base Station create a wifi connection that will enable me to wirelessly connect to XBOX live on my xbox 360

    will the AirPort Express Base Station create a wifi connection that will enable me to wirelessly connect to XBOX live on my xbox 360

    Yes, but not in all cases with it provide your with an "Open NAT" condition that some on-line gaming require. However, for most Xbox LIVE access, it should work just fine.

  • Upgraded to extreme and can no longer connect to xbox live

    My old airport express died so yesterday I bought an airport extreme to replace it. I had no problems setting it up, my powerbook and powermac connect to the internet just fine. My ps3, wii, and apple tv all connect fine. However I lost the ability to connect to xbox live with my xbox360. Running the "Test Xbox Live Connection" test shows that it passes all the tests and is connected to the internet until it reaches the xbox live test where it fails. According to xbox support there are no current outages or problems with my account.
    Since the only thing which has recently changed is the upgrade from airport express to an extreme it seems like that is likely the problem. I thought it might be a NAT or port thing but in the airport setup utility there are no options for changing either NAT or port settings.
    Any ideas anyone? It looks like a year ago when the extreme came out there were problems between it and the xbox, but it also looks like they were resolved. Also they caused the xbox not to be able to connect to the network at all, which mine can do.
    Thanks very much for any ideas or help. Otherwise the extreme is going to have to go back.

    That's a drag.
    I wish I could be more help, but I can not think of what the problem would be. I have mine connected to a network that bridges two AEBS to allow for a large area WIFI. I have no problems with either of the 360's connected. I have no special port forwarding or any settings changed to get the connection.
    I also know that since I just replaced my main base station for an unrelated problem, that it worked out of the box both times.
    I would say try direct connecting it. (the xbox) Not necessarily to correct the problem, but to isolate the AEBS as the problem. I would also try shutting down anything else that may be connecting so you only have a connection with your xbox. Again, none of this will probably solve your issue.... but you can get in contact with customer care or visit a genius bar.
    In my experience if you can give detailed results to test you have already performed to trouble shoot, they are very receptive to replacing your product. Isolating the AEBS and saying you know t will connect direct, and that even when it is the only device connected.... it fails. I would also try both wireless and wired if you have both options.
    I know it is not the optimal answer.... probably a pain.... but sometimes things just work kinda goofy. I know the stuff works and works great when it does... but I have had my share of issues with apple hardware. The good news is they have never failed me when it comes to taking care of it.
    Good Luck !!!

  • Setting up xbox live with an airport extreme

    I need help getting our xbox live running - NAT reads strict - Microsoft gave 3 gaming ports - I know I need to put them in the Port Mapping of the extreme but don't know what "service" to call it and which lines to fill in ie. public or private to make the xbox work. I was given UDP88, UDP3074, TCP3074 by Microsoft. HELP please......

    "Yeah, the XBOX 360 won't recognize any network with security, but it will for my old wireless router. This is a significant problem for me."
    "The wired connection definitely works though. So purchase away if your 360 is close enough for a wired connection until a fix comes our way. "
    "Yes, the new Airport Extreme 802.11n currently only works with the Xbox 360 with security disabled and MAC addressing OR via a wired connection."

  • How can I create a better Xbox live experience?

    Hello, I currently am using an airport extreme to run my wireless home network. I used to have a great Internet connection for Xbox live because my ISP gives me great speed. Now after aquiring many devices (10 to be exact...iPads, iPhones, I touches, laptops) I have noticed the connection isn't where it used to be. Just a couple of days ago the family was gone so there was none of these devices stealing bandwidth from the Xbox and I noticed the connection was back to where it should be so I am confident that this is the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions to help solve the problem without simply eliminating all these devices from the network ( which simply isn't possible). I was thinking about creating a guest network and placing the Xbox on that wireless connection? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

    Unfortunately, using the Guest Network feature won't solve the problem as it has to share the same total bandwidth of the router.
    You basically have two options: 1) Decrease the number of active network clients, or 2) Increase the bandwidth on the local network (LAN). To achieve the best LAN bandwidth, use Gigabit Ethernet connections between devices whenever possible or 802.11n 5 GHz only wireless.
    If the wireless network requires supporting non-"n" clients, use a simultaneous dual-band AirPort and create two separate Network Names. Then connect the non-"n" clients to the 2.4 GHz band network; all others to the 5 GHz band.

  • Home Hub 3 (type A) compatibility with Xbox Live a...

    Just got a new Bt Broadband activated a couple of days ago.
    All set up nice, getitng a 8mb download speed which is good for our area.
    2 laptops, 1 PC, and a wireless printer all set up using wifi. All good.
    Even managed to get Xbox Live connected via wifi.
    BUT - when updating any software or games on the XBOX, what used to take seconds is now taking hours!
    I even tried my old Dlink router on the new BT Broadband, and it all works fine, but as soon as my Home Hub 3 (type A) is connected, the software updates to the xbox take an age.
    All other connections seem fine.
    Is it true that Home Hub 3 type 'B' is the best one for using with Xbox Live?
    If anyone's had this exact same issue, and managed to solve it - please tell me how.
    Thanks

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Seems to be the same.
    The only thing worse (so far) is the BT customer services team. I spent over 3 hours on the phone with various people from BT yesterday. Only when I threatened to cancel the contract did anyone take me seriously.
    I really wish I'd stayed with my previous broadband provider.
    What I'd like to know is how to resolve this issue - preferably from someone who's had similar experience to mine. I'm not going to go through a troubleshooting process yet again. My HomeHub 3A is simply not compatible with connecting wirelessly with any significant speed to my xbox, nor to my android mobile phone.
    I have run every possible check on our line and home network.
    The only variable that causes this problem to re-emerge is the Home Hub 3 (type A) which I was sent 2 days ago.
