WRT54G Issues with Xbox 360

Okay, I got this Wireless router so that my family could get more then one computer eventually. Now we only have one computer still but we have added an Xbox 360 to our network recently. However, the version 6 that we bought is not on xbox 360 compatible router list and encounters some problems. Namely that it causes some of my friends games to be unjoinable and doesn't allow chatting with them. I need to figure out how to get this router to be able to work at full efficiency with my 360 or else I will constantly be hooking and unhooking the DSL cable and directly connecting to my modem. I'm curious if running it as a router instead of a gateway may help with this. I'm also curious if anyone has already fixed this problem. Any more data needed by you I will gladly provide. Oh, also, the ISP is Windstream.

Hey very first thing you need to be able to go Online using the DSL modem with the router & the pc.Also, the firmware should be latest then you will be able to do the wireless & advancedc wireless settings & now connect the XBOX to be connected to the router & for 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 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 & you will be able to play the games on the XBOX live.

Linksys WRT54G compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

Is the Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router (WRT54G) compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

Use the LAN port and cable. That way you'll get no interference and great data transfer. Or this maybe helps. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox360/homenetworking/equipment.htm

E3000 Setup Issue with Xbox 360

I just got my new router and went to setup it up. I put my laptop next to the router and followed the directions on the disc, once the install was done i could not access cisco program on the laptop. I decided to access the web base setup panal to get the 5ghz channel set up for my Xbox and leave the 2.4 channel alone.
My xbox shows that it is connected to the router but it won't get past the internet portion of the test.... I have found no posts about this issue, and plenty of port forwarding posts. Anyone think that port forwarding would help this matter?? I have 1 xbox 360 that i want on the 5 ghz channel and the rest of my stuff i had setup on the 2.4 ( ps3, ipad, ipod, laptop ) . At one point i couldn't even access the internet from those items. I did a full reset on the router and tried installing the program again with no joy...
I reconnected my old router for the time being and it all worked fine ( WRT110 model ).... I am out of ideas

Its always worth a shot, but i ran into sorta the same problem with the WRT110, when i tried to run it on N only for the Xbox.... Thats why i got this one so i could run my xbox on N 5ghz and the rest on B/G 2.4.... Thanks for the feedback, i will give it a shot and see if there was somthing i missed.

WRT54GL issues with XBOX 360 Modern Warfare 2 chat (even with Open NAT)

Hi,
I read some posts about the subject but can't seem to make it work. I have tried port forwarding, UPnP and DMZ on their own or all at once and the best I could do is to get an "Open NAT" in Modern Warfare allowing me to play online. However, I can't hear other people talk when playing online. I can tell they're speaking by watching the speaker icon beside their name in between games but can't hear them... I can hear people in my private chat or party no problem.
Can you guys help me? It's hard playing domination without being able to communicate with teammates.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am having the same problem that was described except I checked my XBox Live setting and it shows that I can chat with everyone (meaning no restrictions). I have check my routers settings (port forwarding, UPnP and DMZ, & Open NAT) just as was described but I still cannot hear any of the players, but they can hear me. I have been searching online for possible solutions and I have tried them all with no success. I have also spoken with XBox tech support on 3 different occassions. Can someone let me know what will work?

WRT54G - Advice for XBOX 360 users

My Advice - Upgrade the router's firmware using a wired connection before you do anything else.
I just got this router as a replacement for a broken-down d-link router. I had issues with the 360 the first night I installed it. Everything else worked (PCs, Wii).
Symptoms:
Router wouldn't assign my 360 an IP address through DHCP
The XBOX live connection was all quirky
NAT level showed as moderate in the 'Test Connection to XBOX Live'
360 couldn't see the mediaCenter PC correctly
I am using a wired connection from the router to the 360.
Because DHCP wasn't working, I set the IP and DNS manually. That seemed to have half-worked. It would show me as signed on to live though the games would fail to perform on Live.
Solution:
I decided, before following any of the other advice out there - which in some cases can really comprimise your network's security - I decided to upgrade the router's firmware.
Once I did this then set the XBOX 360 IP and DNS back to Automatic, the 'Test Connections' on the 360 were successful and I was playing blazing angels and nba 2k7 online with no lag, etc...
I did not have to make any other adjustments after the firmware upgrade. NAT Level also changed to OPEN when running the 'Test Connection to XBOX Live' from the 360. No DMZ, no port triggering, and no port forwarding necessary.
Background:
Just to give you an idea of how many devices I'm running through this router at my home:
3 wired desktop PCs
1 wireless desktop PCs
2 wireless laptop PCs
1 wireless Nintendo Wii
1 wired Xbox 360
All devices are working just fine.
I've been working with routers for around 12 years (large and small implementations).
I got this router for around $50 and really like the features for the price (especially the WPA2 and wireless MAC address filtering).

Ok I have a new problem,(I have a topic on xbox 360 and nat settings)I got my NAT to open, was able to play with my friends that I couldn't before.Then last saturday, he brought over his xbox 360 and we played all night. Then the next day,with his 360 back at his place, we try to join and its the same problem all over again,can't join his party.His settings was set to OPEN before,when he put it back at his place,now he had a MODERATE setting,without changing anything on his router config.(should still be OPEN). Anyone have any walk arounds for this problem,or any help? I only understand so much of this networking stuff.

Hey kole71,
That particular model of Plantronics is compatible for PC gaming but not Xbox 360. Plantronics does have some headsets that work with 360, and I've attached a PDF of the chart found on their website. Hope that helps!

WRT54GS V7.50 with XBox 360

Sorry guys i know you probably get fed up with all the 360 questions around here, but I have tried searching here and google (Someone will now find an answer to my Q! lol).
Anyway heres how my setup is.
Modem into router
Cable from Router to PC
Laptop connects wireless with built in wireless
Cable from laptop to Xbox 360 and share net connection.
Now, it all connects fine, I signed up to LIVE bla bla.
Did a test everything looked fine, NAT even said OPEN. Mate send me a request to play Halo3 and says I cant connect and mentions NAT. Tried all sorts of different guides. One told me to give the xbox an IP manually, but then it just doesnt connect, do a test and gives an error when it comes to "IP".
Now the IP it gives automatically is 192.168.0.xxx
Yet all my other IPS, and when using port foward etc on my router, i dont have the option to use a IP that end 0.xx there all 1.xx?
Is this because I'm connecting through the laptop?
http://www.ianarchbold.com/xboxlive/ <---- this is one of the guides I tried to follow
Cheers for any help.

Conenct your xbox directly to the router then it will work fine. The ip 0.xx is because your xbox is connected to the lap top.

Replacing Apple TV with Xbox 360, Video Questions

I have had an ATV for a little over a year and thanks to Handbrake I now have an incredible Movie Library over 600 flicks ripped for ATV with the .m4v extension. This month I am getting an Xbox 360 and would like to use it in place of my ATV and move the ATV to another room. I have been doing my research and everything says I should use Connect 360 or Rivet to make contact between my iMac and Xbox 360. Though I have read that movies with the extension .m4v will not read. I have read on various sites that I could just change the extension to .mp4 or .avi and it will work fine. Though alot of the data out there on connect 360 and Xbox 360 streaming seems to be outdated and I can't tell what has been fixed by updates. so... my questions are,
1. Will my movies stream to xbox 360 via connect 360 in the .m4v format?
2.If no, can I just change the extension to .mp4 or .AVI? (I changed the extension from .MP4 to .m4v on some movies when I got the ATV due to some recognition issues in itunes last year and had no problem)
3. If I change the extensions will my ATV still be able to play these videos from elsewhere in the house?
4. Will it all just work flawlessly with no problems thanks to amazing updates from all parties?

I wanted a next gen game system. Part of the way I could convince my wife to let me get an xbox (Im whipped) was to offer to move the ATV to the bedroom so she could view our media in there. Since the Xbox has media center qualities I figured I would take atvantage of them. Now I trying to figure out the best way to get both working.

Ipod Not Recognized With Xbox 360?

i havnt played with my xbox 360 and ipod in a while. i connected my ipod video ver 1.3, 30 gb in and found out that it wasnt recognized. i have done the updates for my xbox 360. could my ipod be corrupt? was it an xbox update? an ipod update?

This is an XBox issue. When they update that system it may work again.
This has also happened with car stereo adapters.

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.

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)
Port: 5555
Naam: Media Streaming (Media Connect)
Protocol: TCP
Scope: My network (subnet) only
Port: 7777
Naam: Network Validation
Protocol: UDP
Scope: My network (subnet) only
and put them here
http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54G/WRT54G4.jpg
Everything all fine and dandy...the problem though is..what do i fill in as the last few numbers of their IP adresses? Here it looks like this now
http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/9774/29330189nt9.jpg

Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
