  • 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!

    Kindly do these settings on your router for X-Box...
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
    Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
    1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 53, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
    2) On the second line in Application box type in PQR, in the start box type in 3074 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
    3) On the third line in Application box type in XYZ, in the start box type in 88 and End box type in 88, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box and click on Save Settings...
    3) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
    4) Click on set-up and change the MTU Size to 1452 and click Save Settings...
    5) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox
    IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
    6) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox
    Primary dns :- 4.2.2.2...Secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1
    7) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
    8) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...

  • 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.

  • WRT54G (V6) Xbox 360 DNS Test Failed

    I am trying to get online with my xbox 360.  It is passing its IP address test, but failing the DNS test.  It actually passed the DNS test once, after several powercycles....but never again.
    Here are my specs:
    XBOX 360 connected eithernet to a Linksys WRT54G (V6) Firmware has been updated as of today.
    My ISP is AT&T/Yahoo DSL with a Speedstream 5100 modem provided by my ISP.
    My xbox is assigned a static IP of 192.168.1.7  (suggested by Linksys) and automatic for DNS
    Here are my router settings:

    So does that mean that I can configure the WRT54G as a PPPoE that manages the user name and password so that the account is allways active.  Jeeze, I have no idea what I am doing here.
    Yes...  If you have the Connection Type set to DHCP change it to PPPoE and enter your Username & Password.

  • WRT54G and Xbox 360 with no internet

    New Xbox 360 hard wired to router WRT54G, router recognize xbox but will not connect to internet. What do i need to change?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If your router's IP Address is 192.168.2.1...
    Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox
    IP Address :- 192.168.2.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.2.1...
    Also you can upgrade the firmware on your router if the connection is slow when you use your XBox...You can download the firmware from here
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.2.1
    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".
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...
    Then, unplug the power cable while holding down the reset button for another 30 Seconds...
    Plug the power cable back in, and keep holding down the reset button for another 30 Seconds...
    Release the reset button...To re-configure your router follow this
    Do the Port Forwarding as mentioned earlier...

  • 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,

    I have the WRT54G Version 6. I could not connect -- First I updated the firmware. Check the linksys site for your router under support to ensure you have the most up-to-date firmware. Still could not connect. Observed which IP it was assigning to the XBox then put this IP address into the DMZ. It has worked since. Might work, might not. I noticed you have the V3 router, so hope this helps in some way.

  • Can't connect to Xbox 360 live with Airport Extreme wirelessly

    Just bought Airport Extreme and Xbox 360 slim and we are having trouble connecting wirelessly.
    When testing connection on Xbox, some problems:
    - MTU setting not high enough
    - does not have assigned IP address
    Been trying all day and getting frustrated.  Any help appreciated.

    Unfortunately, the AirPorts do not offer a means to change MTU settings.

  • XBox 360 and WRT54GS no one can fix this. Please help if you can?

    I'm totally out of ideas here and would appreciate it if someone could help me?  We have 2 XBox 360's both with the Microsoft XBox wireless adapters.  My son has had his since they first came out whatever year that was.  My youngest daughter got hers last October.  Both XBox's connect to XBox LIVE without a problem via a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router.  The problem we can't solve is - my oldest daughter and son-in-law live about a mile from us and they have an XBox 360. When we try to connect to their XBox (or anyone else that's local) to play against her and her husband, it won't connect and gives us a "Disconnected" prompt every time. They have no problem connecting to other XBox's locally but we, for some reason, can't.  I can connect our XBox directly into our cable modem bypassing the Linksys and it connects to them, so it isn't the cable modem.  I've changed settings on the router, internet, XBox with no luck.  I've updated the firmware.  I've read thru posts on the internet for weeks and now my brain is mush.  Is this fixable or do I need to buy a new wireless router?  Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with anything but we have 3 PC's and 3 DVR's also connected to the internet but are hard wired.  My kids and grandkids have DSi's, a Playststion3, and a Wii and those all connect via wireless and work great.  XBox has this WRT54GS listed as compatable.  I'm stumped.  I know there's some really sharp folks out there somewhere.......please help if you can?  Thanks for any help you could offer!

    Have you opened the ports on the router....?
    If not then,you need to open ports 53-3074 on the router..Read this link. Also,under the security tab on the router,uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...

  • WRT54G 2.2- Xbox 360's NAT setting is Moderate, please help!

    Ok, here's the story...normally i always have the 360's network settings to 'automatic' , but since the new Live update i've been having lots of trouble, like : I try to start a private chat with someone, but the person isn't able to join me or when i try to join their chat/party it doesn't work.
    However, just now when that person was already in a party with someone, i WAS able to join...but as soon as i get an invite from that person when he's got no one else in the party...it doesn't work.
    So i started to check the net for advice...and i found another forum where they said i had to do a few things.
    http://www.portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm
    I made a static IP for Vista and Xbox 360. And finally this
    http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54G/Xbox_Live_360.htm
    Then i test the Live connection, and everything is fine it seems, but at the end i receive an error about how my NAT is Moderate. It then gives suggestions such as, to check if you have enabled UpnP on the router...which i have. It advices you to turn off the router and/or modem for a few minutes...nothing of that makes a change here sadly.
    That forum also told me to open these ports.
    Port: 1900
    Naam: UPnP Framework
    Protocol: UDP
    Scope: My network (subnet) only
    Port: 2290
    Naam: Remote Media Center Experience
    Protocol: TCP
    Scope: Any computer (including those on the Internet)
    Port: 3376
    Naam: Media Center Extender Service
    Protocol: UDP
    Scope: Any computer (including those on the Internet)

    Protocol: TCP
    Scope: My network (subnet) only
    Port: 7777
    Naam: Network Validation
    Protocol: UDP
    Scope: My network (subnet) only
    and put them here

  • Need major help, I have a WRT54G Wireless-G Router and theres too much Lag with My Xbox 360...

    I cant host a game on Gears of War no more on my xbox 360 cuz it also drops and when i play on someone else's game, i get dropped from the middle of a game.
    I have Comcast Hi-Speed Internet and that shouldnt be a problem,
    I have my PC and my Xbox 360 hooked up and thats it,
    On my computer i have McAfee Security, but i dont kno if that would slow it down??
    Well when i unplug my router, and do a direct connection to my xbox 360, it is pretty **bleep** good connection. So what is there I can do to fix this slow connection with the router being hooked up?? i have my router in the same room too as my pc and 360.

    yes the ethernet cord is hooked from the xbox 360 to the router

  • 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... 

  • Does the Xbox 360 wireless adapter even work with the WRT54G wireless router?!!? If so, how???

    I just bought a WRT54G wireless router (Ver 8.0; firmware updated to latest).  I have successfully connected my wireless laptop using WEP security, but I'm at wits end trying to get the Xbox 360 wireless adapter to work.  (It worked just fine with my Netgear router until that router recently died.)
    When I do the "Test Media Connection" routine (you XBox 360 users know what I'm referring to), the Xbox immediately recognizes the Network Adapter and indicates that it is connected to the Wireless Network, but it inevitably fails the next step in the process:  IP Address.  I have the set-up for the IP address to be assigned automatically by the router (which is set for  DHCP Server enabled).
    I have gone around the mountain innumerable times myself and then with well-meaning friends who say try this, try that, try this, try that.  I've had to re-establish my laptop set-up so many times I wanna scream!
    Are the Xbox 360 wireless adapter and the WRT54G even compatible?  If so, what am I missing here?  I'm not too technical and obviously in over my head, but this ought not be that hard.
    Please, please do NOT respond unless you KNOW the answer!  I don't mean to be curt, but I'm over / past "suggestions to try."
    Thank you VERY much for your time and consideration if you can help me.

    I don't think that the X-BOX adapter is not compatible to wireless rotuer .... there are few settings you can try on the router ... Access router setup page ... 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 ip address :- 192.168.1.20 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 secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1 6) Please try to test your xbox live. Hope it works ...

  • Using the WRT54G and a WUSB54GC with an Xbox 360.

    Hi,
    I have a WRT54G router and I just bought a WUSB54GC compact Wireless-G USB adapter because I thought I could connect it to my Xbox 360 to play games online. Is this possible? I've tried a few times, but I can't get it to work. I'm not too tech savvy but I'm guessing that it isn't supposed to work like that. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hi
    As far as my knowledge, if you want to use WUSB54GC you need to install its drivers, and that is not possible on X-box 360, in that case you can check if your X-box 360 is Wi-Fi enabled, if not you can use a special product i.e. WGA54G, Wireless-G Gamming Adapter, It's completely driver-free, so it works on any platform. Since there's no drivers to load, setup is a snap. It provides lag-free gaming with communication speeds up to 54Mbps when connected to other Wireless-G devices. It can also connect to Wireless-B (802.11b) devices and networks at 11Mbps.
