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.

  • XOBX/XBOX 360 BOTH ON LIVE

    CAN SOMEONE HELP.  I HAVE ROUTER WRT54GV5 CONNECTED TO MY COMPUTER AND XBOX 360 WITH THE LIVE AND GAMING ADAPTER.  DO YOU KNOW IF I PURCHASE ANOTHER GAMING ADAPTER AND HOOK UP ANOTHER LIVE ACCOUNT IF THE ROUTER WOULD SUPPORT ALL THAT?

    Just assign one of the xbox's its own IP below the starting IP address in the Setup/Basic Setup SubTab.  Example:  Say your starting IP is 100, which it is by default, you can assign one with 192.168.1.50.  The router will take care of the other through DHCP.  Now if the IP conflict is with a PC IP, then give both xboxes their own.  Something like 192.168.1.25 and 192.168.1.50 then there will be no conflicts.  I actually had to do this with a xbox and PS2 my kids had.  Then for some odd reason it eventually straightened itself out.

  • WRT310N Xbox 360's / Xbox Live

    I have 3 Xbox 360's hooked up wired to a WRT310N.  How do you get the NAT to show OPEN for all Xbox 360's connected to Xbox Live?  I have tried just about everything currently port range trigging (53,80,88,3074).  I can get one or 2 xbox 360's to show open but I need all 3.  Thanks....J

    3 X-Box will not work with the linksys router..At the max 2 X-Box will work at the same time.

  • WRT610N with 4 xbox 360s accessing Xbox live...Assistance Please

    I have a DCHP connection to the ISP Comcast. 25mbsp download speed (fat pipe) I live with four roommates and we all have xbox 360s 2 wired and 2wireless and 3 wireless PCs and 1 wired pcs .The PCs I am ok with setting up.
    I was about to tackle this when I started going through the settings for this router (feature rich comes to mind).
    I have some questions with some of these features so I can get  all four xbox360s connected to xbox live with out getting kicked out or game lag. We have experienced this with our old Belkin.
    Single port forwarding, port range forwarding, port range triggering and of course the DMZ are all available for this router and I am requesting some guidance as to set this up.
    Should I set up Static IPs for all the xboxes and forward the ports TCP 80; UDP 88; UDP 3074; TCP 3074; UDP 53; TCP 5 to each static IP? Can this router handle opening ports for multiple static IP's? Can I combine single port forwarding with port range forwarding? Should I combine both with setting up Port Range Triggering?
    I read through the manual but still am a little perplexed...
    Noob needs some guidance
    thank you

    Thank you for replying and for the solution. I will try it tonite and actually in the link you sent the tech stated:
    "These settings will work even if you have one or multiple consoles running behind the router"
    So I will be trying this for all four xbox 360 and I will let you know how it goes.
    cheers

  • WRT160N V3 Two Xbox 360 consoles Xbox live NAT Resolution

    Has anyone found a solution to the NAT problems involving two xbox 360s connecting to xbox live using the WRT160N V3 at the same time?  I always get one that reads Open NAT (usually the 1st one to sign in) and one that gets the dreaded Strict NAT type.  I have read of various solutions yet many of them do not resolve the issue.  Any help is greatly appreciated!!

    You can try the below mentioned settings and check.
    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...
    On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...
    Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click Save Settings...
    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 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done...
    2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
    3)Click on the Status tab and take note of DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses...
    4) 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...
    5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox
    Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox...
    6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
    7) 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...
    IP Address: 192.168.X.[last part of ip in your device]    e.g. if static ip given to the device was 192.168.X.10 get the last part and put that to the empty box.

  • WRT54GS Router-trouble connecting to vista computer

    I have 2 laptops. One is xp and one is vista. I used the setup cd to install my new router on both of them. the first thing i noticed was that there were 2 very different setups for the vista and the xp computers. when i loaded it into the xp computer it came with a proram called "easylink advisor". All i did was folow the directions and it was perfect, the xp computer is wireless. when i go onto the easy link advisor it has an option and tells you how to connect another computer to your router wirelessly. I followed all the steps on that and it did not work. as soon as i unplug the blue cord from the vista computer the internet connection is lost. I noticed that the router is connected to that computer becasue when i go to "manage wireless networks" it is there, but  when i click on the symbol by the clock and click "connect to a network" there should be a lst of all the networks i am connected to and there is nothing there. so where is my netowork??? its there according to the "manage wireless networks" page!?!?!?!
    I hope that someone can help me with this problem. I have been at this all day!
    thanks

    Try turning your ON the wireless switch of the laptop & you will be able to see the wireless networks...click yours...click CONNECT...if secured it will ask you for hte wireless password & you will be able to go ONLINE WIRELESSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • WRT54GS Wont support Two XBOX 360s online at the same time

    Just bought new Linksys WRT54GS to support two XBOX 360s live simultaneously.  Can't log both on at same time. It kicks first 360 off when second one tries to log on.  How can I fix this and have both NAT types open?

    I'm having the same issue.  I have comcast as ISP, Linksys modem BEFCMU10 V3, going to a Linksys router WRT54GS V4, two desk tops hardwired to the router, TiVo with a wireless and two Xbox 360s with Xbox wireless adaptors.  Each Xbox 360 has a different Live account, one has mine the other has my daughters.  Either by itself goes live just fine but as soon as the second unit is brought on the first kicked off.  If left on they will take turns dropping off from Xbox Live.  One night we alternately texted/chatted from both of our Xboxs to the same third party.  When he had signed off for the night and showed be "offline" on my unit my daughters unit still showed him "online" until we shut her Xbox off.  In addition the NAT always seems to change.  Some times its open, others it's medium or strict.  This seems to be related to having one or both Xboxs on.  I found an article on segmenting your network by using two wireless routers and running the Xboxes through the router closest to the modem and everything else through the second down line router.  I haven't tried it yet.  Anything I'm missing?  Something else I should try?  I've talked to the Geeks and some tell you can't so it and others tell me sure it will but they want $$.  I've talked to other gamers that tell they've had two Xboxs on Live with no problem.

  • Xbox 360 will not connect to WRT54G Wired connection

    OK I just bought a xbox 360 and the Linksys wrt54g router I updated the firmware on the router and have 2 pcs currently connected and working great i also have a wii connected wirelessly and it works great.
    I connected the xbox 360 to the router and it doesnt even detect that its connected. Ive tested the cables tried 4 different ones and nothing i unhooked the router and just ran the xbox 360 to the cable modem and it worked fine so i know its not the xbox or the cables its the router thats giving me probs. i called linksys was on the line with them for 2 hours and they couldnt tell me nothing. Ive read that ppl have this router and there xboxs work fine
    on microsofts site this router is listed as compatible. im lossing my patience and getting very mad about this.
    no lights come on the router and the xboxs say the cable is not connected when running to the router but when connected direct to the cable modem works fine.
    can someone please help or shed some light on this i would be greatful
    thank

    I amp having the same problem. I tried what you had said about using the xbox settings but no luck. I found a link that told me to open these ports:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/mediacenter/firewall.mspx#EMG
    It says Inbound and outbound, but I have no idea what that means.  I basically went to Port Range Forwading (I have the BEFSX41 wired router by the way.). It would only allow me to put in 10 .  Also there is no incoming and outgoing!!?? So if there was just 1 number for the port I put that number in both Start and end, and if it had 2 number I put the 1st one as start and the second one as end.
    Can anyone help me. This is redamndiculous that a person has to go through this much trouble to hook up an xbox 360.
    Also I have a SD216 switch. I don't know if that matters at all.

  • 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 a Wireless Xbox 360 Controller to Windows 8.1 via the Play & Charge Kit

    I've been trying to connect a standard black wireless Xbox 360 controller to my PC, a Dell Inspiron 17R Special Edition (what makes it special is a mystery to me, but that's the name) with the standard Play & Charge Kit.
    I downloaded the drivers from Microsoft's website <http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-wireless-controller-for-windows>. Since there was no version for Windows 8.1, I downloaded the version for windows 7 (64-bit) and ran the installer
    in compatibility mode. The installer ran just fine, and I was able to run joy.cpl with no trouble. The trouble was, my controller doesn't show up in the list of game controllers, which is blank.
    Under Devices and Printers, an item named "Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play and Charge Kit" appears in the "Unspecified" category. When I look at the properties of this device, there are only two tabs, "General" and "Hardware".
    Under the "Hardware" tab, there is a device also named"Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play and Charge Kit" whose properties have all the proper drivers and suchlike.
    Help!

    Uninstall all the driver.
    Download and install the latest driver,or,you may try the same to get via Windows Update.

  • WRT54G v2 with Strict NAT when connected via ethernet to Xbox 360

    Hello, I apologize if this is in the wrong board as the router, although it is a wireless model, is connected to the Xbox 360 via ethernet cable, so I was a bit torn on where to place it. Router Model, Firmware version: WRT54G v2, v4.21.1 The problem and details are as follows: The Xbox 360 is running on the default settings. Literally, I plugged it into the router via ethernet and it automatically grabbed an IP (192.168.1.101) and the right information to connect to Xbox Live. The router is still running the default range of 50 IPs, so 100 to 149; the 360 was just the second thing to connect. Another computer is connected to the router via ethernet and a laptop is connected wirelessly, if this might affect the case at all. When using the Network Test feature of the Xbox 360, everything is operating perfectly except the NAT is giving me a Strict reading. Some of my games require an Open NAT for me to be able to access some features such as hosting a co-op match. Simply put, what do I need to do inside the router's settings that would give me an Open NAT on the Xbox 360?

    well try reducing the MTU values to 1365 on the router, also try triggering 88, 3074 ports on the router...

    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.

  • 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
