WRT54G and XBOX 360 HELP!!

I am using my wrt54g for my xbox 360.  I am using an ethernet connection between them instead of a wireless connection.  I talked to xbox and got the port numbers I needed and I opened them up on the router.
The port light where the ethernet plug for the 360 is in is flashing and my xbox is seeing no ip address at all.  I don't know if I have my ip address correct for the ports, Please Help!

  • Wrt54g and xbox 360 wireless gaming adapter

    First post here and I have a problem. The WRT54G has wirlelss disabled. It is connected to a WAP11B wireless access point which is connected in 802.11b mode to a laptop, Wii, xbox 360, iPhone. The router is connected to a dsl modem. Three wired ethernet computers are connected. And I am running WEP with 128, and I changed the SSID to something other than linksys.
    I'd like to change to use the WRT54G as a wireless enabled connection. Then remove the WAP11B, and put a pcmcia 802.11g card in the laptop and connect the xbox360 with a microsoft xbox 360 wireless gaming adapter which should connect at 802.11g.
    The problem is the xbox 360 displays a message that there are duplicate networks using my SSID. Is there someway to upgrade to 802.11g without getting that error message on the xbox 360? Let me know if there are any questions I can answer in order to more clearly explain the problem.
    Thank you,

  • WRT300N and xbox 360 help

    Hi.
    I just picked up the WRT300N - upgraded to the latest firmware:
    Firmware Version: v0.93.9
    I am using WEP security for my wireless. I can connect fine with various computers/laptops, getting good IP addresses, etc.
    From my xbox 360 - fails to get an IP address.
    Before the wrt300n I had a Apple Airport saucer thingy, and I had to disable security to get the xbox to get a valid IP. I do not want to disable security on the linksys - this should work.
    Can anyone help out with this? Not sure what else to try here.

    Hi. . .
             As You Are Not Getting An Ip Address On The Xbox.You Can Try Giving In A Static Ip Address To Your Xbox(manual).You can try
    Ip   192.168.1.x(10--99),
    Dg 192.168.1.1--Please Check The Ip Address Of The Rtr. . .
    On The Status Page Of The Router You Will Be Getting DNS1 And DNS2. . .
    Try Inputting Those Also On The XBOX Page. . .

  • Updated to 7.3.1, PC and Xbox 360 can't connect

    Hey, anyone else having problems getting PCs and Xbox 360s to connect to the AirPort Extreme after the 7.3.1 update? Wired or wireless, my PC (Vista, with and without SP1) and my Xbox 360 (with the official wireless network adapter) won't connect.

    I am in the same boat...
    7.2 worked great... 7.3.1 does not even show in the network list. Also, downgrading it does not fix the issue?!?!?

  • Step by step complete setup for WRT54G ver.6 with Laptop and XBOX 360

    Hello.  I am sorry to post this, I am sure it is a juevenile and redundent question...but I have tried to look for the set up cd (I can find where to download it...though I can find the firmware upgrade or whatever).  My friend at work said it would do all the setup pretty much automatically for me.  
    I somewhat know computers, but you might go ahead and make your replies VERY lamen's terms or I might not be able to follow.  Anyways, what I need, is a step by step/screen by screen directions for a secure network.  I have made a partial attempt at setting it up and it technically works, but I would feel better if I did the steps a-z in order, so I know that it is done correctly.  I also am not totally confident in its security as it is now.  (Also, technically, I did not check the XBOX again after getting the new laptop, I am just assuming it is still working because it was before).
    My problem is I can't seem to find very good directions for setting up the router...I only find partials or confusing directions.
    So here are the things I am trying to connect:
    Liksys WRT54G ver. 6
    Gateway Laptop running Windows Vista
    XBOX 360 - WIRED
    (I had a PC and a laptop, but they both died at the same time and I have only been able to replace the laptop at this point...the PC will come later and not sure at this point if it will be Wired or not).
    I have a cable Modem between the Router and the wall...I didn't look at that for brand/etc...but I can get it ASAP if needed.
    Here are the settings that I have so far:
    Changed the Router Name
    Changed the SSID
    Have DHCP set to 3  (XBOX, PC, Laptop)
    Wireless SSID Broadcast: Disable
    Username and Password changed to my own info
    UPnP: Enable
    I may have changed other things without knowing it.  So like I said, a complete, step by step screen by screen set up would be totally appreciated.  I haven't done anything in the security tab, all that is totally foreign to me, so I am just not broadcasting for now until I can get some help setting things up with you guys.
    And if someone is familiar with the Laptop/XBOX 360 setup, and I need to change any of the settings on the XBOX itself, could you please include that in your directions?  I know that isn't technically what THIS forum is for, but it would sure be helpful to me if you happen to know both parts anyways.
    Thanks a lot (in advance)!

    So all you just need to do is, secure your Wireless Network. Follow the setps bellow and change the settings on your Router.
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    - Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
    NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • Help - WRT400n how do I get better hard wired speeds on PS3 and Xbox 360

    I wanted to get better speeds while playing on-line on the PS3.  I bought the WRT400n router (I had the WRT54G) and it seems to be working ok.  I just hardwired the ps3 and the speeds are a little slower.  Wireless I was getting 12.0 Mbps down and 1.0 Mbps up, now wired I am now gettiner 10.0Mbps down and 2.0 Mbps up.   I numbers are lower wired, how come?  I have a new Cat 5 cable and I just had a direct cable dedicated to the router put in.  I thought I was going to see much better speeds.  Can anyone help me out?  I am very confused about the the speeds.  People were telling me when I hardwired I would get get speeds up to 50 to 100.  What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks..............

    On your Router setup page, below change the MTU size to 1365 and below click on Save Settings, then click on the Wireless tab and below change the Wireless Channel to 11 and click on Save Settings, then click on the sub tab under wireless "Advance Wireless Settings" and below Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
    Once you are with this settings, then click on the 'Security" tab and below Uncheck "Block Anonymous Internet Request" and click on Save Settings... 
    Now unplug the power from the Router and Modem,wait for 30sec and then first plug the power to the Modem and once all the lights are solid then plug the power to the Linksys Router. Now you can check the speed on your XBOX. 

  • Please help: connection issues (ATT, Time Capsule and xbox 360 live)

    I am having near constant issues with my home network, so I am hoping to tap in to the collected knowledge of the internets to help sort things out.
    Main issue: daily/hourly internet disconnection. Now, my 360 wireless adaptor can't even see the network. Ugh. Basically, I am hoping someone could give me the "best" configuragtion (ie settings for network, Time Capsule, 360 and/or wireless adaptor) for my current set-up.
    My set up:
    LinkSys modem from ATT (in bridge mode)-->
    Apple Time Capsule (router) -->
    Mad Catz 360 wireless network adaptor -->
    Xbox 360
    I have spent some time looking through the forums but keep running into conflicting recommendations and nothing I have tried so far seems to have helped. Thanks (in advance) for the help.

    So, you must have somehow reconfigured the 2wire to perform as a simple modem, even though it is a full fledged modem/router combination. I've see the 2wire, but never configured one, so I can't offer a lot of help there.
    Was there a particular reason why you configured the 2wire as a bridge when you could have simply configured the TC as a bridge to work with the 2wire? In other words, the 2wire would do the PPPoE service along with DHCP and NAT.
    Maybe you tried it this way and something didn't work?
    We've seen a number of posts from users who are having issues with the TC doing the PPPoE service. I just wonder if you are not betting off letting the 2wire do what the ISP intended it to do.

  • WRT54G version 5 and Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

    Hello,
    I just upgraded to the latest firmware since my Xbox 360 Wireless adapter can't connect to my router. I still have the same problem and can't figure it out. I read some of the other posts, and opened up the correct ports in my router 88 & 3074. I even disabled wireless security and I still can't connect.
    My wireless adapter is a solid red. I can connect just fine with a wired network cable. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to try?
    It's a brand new Xbox too and there shouldn't be any problems with it. 

    Make sure the wireless settings are configured correctly. Also check with the adapter.

  • Time Capsule and Xbox 360

    Just got a Time Capsule 2tb, need to hook to my linksys router wrt54gs and be able to stream to Xbox 360 using Connect360 software installed in the system preferences on a mac running Mac OS Server 10.4.11. Help How do i get this done? right now the TC light is just blinking amber.

    Hello ShelbyWeiss. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    How do you have the Time Capsule (TC) configured in your current network? That is, do you have it physically connected to the Linksys router or completely separate? Is the TC configured to join the Linksys' wireless network or to create its own? Is the Linksys the main router connected to the Internet modem or is the TC performing this roll?

  • WRT54G V6 - XBOX 360 Moderate NAT - NEED Open NAT

    Ok, I have seen a post in response to wanting Open NAT on the WRT54G V6 wireless router. The response was as follows: ******************** 192.168.1.1 (default IP address). Leave the username field blank and in the password type “admin” (if you have not changed the password). When the linksys configuration page loads up fully …..click on the tab that says Application and Gaming. When the page loads up fully u can specify the ports that needs to be forwarded for your Xbox. Make sure that before forwarding the ports u assign a static IP address for your Xbox in the same range as that of your router. Specify the sane IP address in the port forwarding page. Also set the MTU of the router to 1365. Try forwarding the ports 88 and 3374. ******************* HOWEVER... I have multiple XBOX's behind the router so I don't believe doing port forwarding will be of any help here will it???? Is there a newer Linksys Wireless router that will allow us to configure Open NAT??? Is there a third part firware that can update the WRT54G V6 so that it can utilize Open NAT??? Desparately need to get 3 or 4 XBOX 360's working behind this thing in open NAT mode. Thanks in advance!!!

    well..in this case , you should go to "Applications and Gaming" and instead of "Port Forwarding" .. you should try "Port Trigerring" .. enter the required numbers .. no need to assign a static ip add to any of the x-boxes ..

  • WRT54G Wireless - Xbox 360

    Converting/upgrading router to WRT54G wireless. All PCs working fine with upgrade, but Xbox 360 connects, then fails IP test.
    If I remove security from the WRT54G, the Xbox connects completely and just fine, but when I reactivate security--either WEP or WPA security--Xbox no longer receives a valid IP address from DHCP, so I can't connect. 
    I've entered and reentered the appropriate security password at the Xbox, so it's not simply a typo on the password. I've also reset-to-factory-default and powercycled until I'm practically blue in the face. I've also tried disabling DHCP and setting a fixed IP at the Xbox and disabling UPnP. I've also used the Windows Connect function to download wireless settings from a working PC, as Xbox explicitly recommends in its instructions.
    Help?

    Many thanks for the reply. Does it seem as odd to you as it does to me that one should have to go through all that for what Xbox calls a "compatible router"?
    In any event, Xbox tech support has done nothing to distinguish themselves in my eyes. Amongst their bad advice: "the Xbox wireless network adapter is bad"; "you're too far away from the router"--both blown away when I successfully connected to Xbox Live via my neighbor's unsecured router located much further away than my router.
    Anyway, I devised the following work-around: knowing that my Xbox 360 connected fine to Xbox Live with my router unsecured, I kept the security off and opted for MAC address wireless filtering, which lets only specified MAC addresses connect to the router. As soon as I entered the Xbox 360's MAC address and saved the settings, we could connect to Xbox Live without any hesitation. I of course had to track down all the MAC addresses for our other devices, but once that was done, everything seems to be fine.
    Now, the trick is never to do anything that will change any device's MAC address...
    Again, this is a work-around, not a solution to the problem of why the secured WRT54G was failing to recognize the Xbox 360 under either WEP or WPA-Personal.
