Wrt610n and xbox 360

my problem is the connection on both 5ghz and 2.4ghz,  i can connect just fine to the 5ghz, it connects really fast, but it losses signal, usually just a bar lost from being full, but in not that far away from the router. and enventually it might get even further away from the router.
I think the 2.4 has better strenght but the xbox doesn't want to connect to it. takes a long time to find the ip addresses. if i set the ip on manual on the xbox, it resricts xbox live. 
any ideas. i have tried some settings involving the channel width and wide channle, but that actually made it worse for the 5ghz. 

Who is your Internet Service Provider...?
Try to readjust the wireless settings of the router...For 5GHz...Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to159 and Standard Channel to 161-5.805GHz...For 2.4GHz...Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz..Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box.Under Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,RTS Threshold to 2307 and Click on Save Settings...Under Security tab,uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
Now,power cycle the network and check...

  • WRT610N 5ghz xbox 360 wireless N adapter won't connect (xbox 360 "Wireless Mode = Not connected")

    Hi folks,
    Looks like some other folks have reported similar. Haven't seen if an answer has been found anywhere.
    WRT610v2 running latest firmware.
    xbox 360 sees both the 2.4 network (ssid = network1) and the 5.0 network (ssid network2) when it does its scan.
    Initially, xbox showed network strength for 2.4 network at 3 out of 4 bars and 5.0 network at 1 out of 4 bars.
    Connects to 2.4 network just fine
    Won't pull an ip address and reports "Not connected" when I select the 5.0 network.
    I tweaked the wireless settings per some suggestions I found in this forum and now it shows the 5.0 network at 4 out of 4 bars signal strength. Also turned security on and off and xbox 360 reported the changes in security on the 5.0 network.
    So the xbox 360 is definitely seening the 5.0 network. and can tell if it is running WPA2 or not.
    If it can see the 5.0 network and recognizes what security and network type (infrastructure) is set, would would stop it from connecting to the WRT610n router and getting an IP address? No mac filters or firewalls are set and, again, connects just fine and gets an ip address if I select the 2.4 (network1 ssid) instead.
    Won't work if I manually set IP, subnet, gateway, dns either.
    Have tried mixed versus dedicated on the N radio...
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    thanks!

    Hello,
    Thanks for the suggestions. Tried as you suggested but still no luck. Seems to see the 5ghz ssid just fine with plenty of strength but just will not pull an ip address or even connect if I manually assign.
    Any other thoughts?
    thanks again for taking the time to respond.

  • 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?!?!?

  • Starz Play and Xbox 360

    I am not new to this and I DO know what I'm doing. I have the network set up the way it always has been. Its ethernet, and its going through the switch and Fios router. I recently downloaded Starz Play and it works great on my Desktop, Laptop, but NOT on my 360. I have been streaming Vista MCE to it for months, and it all works GREAT with no network interference of any sort. The application doesnt show my 360 as an available device for it to extend to, so I am stumped. I searched the interwebs already, so any advice is more than appreciated. Thanks!

  • 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... 

  • Iphone 4 Video and Xbox 360 as my PC's Windows Media Center

    I noticed that all video formats play perfectly over my Xbox 360 except for video shot with my iphone 4. It plays the video in slow motion while the audio is at regular speed. It's very annoying. Is their a fix for this or do I just need to convert the iphone 4 videos to h264 mp4, or regular mp4? Any quick fixes so I don't have to do the converting? When I play them on my HP they play just fine. I'm assuming it has something to do with the Xbox 360 not having an updated codec. Any ideas will be tried.
    Thanks

    I'm in the same Xbox 360 boat. I'm also amazed at the lack of information on this problem since the iPhone 4 has been out so long and the Xbox 360 received an update long after.
    It has to be a codec issue since the Xbox 360 can play 1080p content. The iPhone 4 720p video can't be more intensive than 1080p.
    While I'm at it why can't the Xbox 360 play iTunes Plus and iTunes Lossless audio, they're DRM free (I use Connect360 to get around the issue)? Seriously, Microsoft has to be doing it on purpose. Every attempt I've made to get this question answered has been met with a MS wall.

  • Getting DSL Modem, TimeCapsule, and XBox 360 to play nice

    I just bought a 1TB Time Capsule and pretty much hooked it up without reading the manual by using what seemed like the defaults. Everything seems to be working fine...I've got internet access, my two MacBooks are backing up using Time Machine...my only issue is that XBox 360, which connects wirelessly, is offline, (i.e., it can't connect to XBox Live.)
    I have AT&T DSL internet. I plugged my TC into the Westell DSL Modem and ran the Airport configuration software. Using the default or recommended options, My TC assumed the settings for the wireless server of my Westell Modem. (I selected the "Bridge" setting when I got to that part.) When I was told to turn off the other wireless device (My Westell modem's wireless), I just logged on to the modem and turned off the wireless.
    Everything worked fine...until I went to get on to XBox Live. It fails the connection test on XBox. (Everything else still works great.)
    What do I need to do to get the XBox back up and running? It appears that my Westell is the router, handing out IP addresses, and my TC is just a wireless bridge to my Westell. Why wouldn't it hand an address to the XBox just like is doing for my two MacBooks?
    I still have my HP Color LaserJet hooked up via ethernet to the Westell.
    Is there a better way to hook all this up?

    Maybe I shouldn't have said I have the "default settings". At each step along the initial configuration path, I read the details for each option, and choose the path that would seem to work best in my environment.
    In my initial post that indicated that I chose the "Bridge" route that you recommended, but my XBox 360 is not getting an IP address from my Westell DSL modem. Yet my 2 MacBooks, 1 MacBook Pro, 2 iPhones and 1 iPod touch all seem to get served IP addresses without a hitch.
    There was a was an option about NAT & Something else after "Bridge" was selected. Is there something about that setting that would allow Mac stuff to access my network, but prevent a Microsoft-rigid device like an XBox 360 from gaining access?

  • Internet Routing a limited-access PC to my iMac AND xbox 360

    Hello All,
    I have a company work computer (PC) at home which does not have administrative access, however, I've been able to download software like firefox and save it to my desktop only.
    Next to this PC, I have my iMac. On the other side of the wall, is my tv room with our xbox 360 which is really a powerful online gaming console.
    I have been frustrated in the past in routing an internet connection to be shared with the PC and iMac. And now I'd like to share the internet with the 360 at the same time. I've had to share the internet "cave man" style by unplugging my Comcast Modem, unplug the ethernet connection, reconnect the ethernet from whichever system I want internet on, and then plug in the power.
    I have tried many times to make this work but have been unsuccessful as I think it's tricky to make the PC and iMac work together. The IT people at work say the iMac has it's own IP number and I don't know if that's prevent the network from working. I've been trying to research the "how-to" and came across something about a "DHCP" but I don't even know if that's my issue.
    I'm reluctant in buying an airport router from Apple because it's not 100% refundable if the packaging is open.
    If you can help, please teach me how to do this. A huge thank you in advance.
    Thank you!

    By default most routers do not use the MAC address for distributing connections, but they can be configured to do so. Modern routers' security settings can be configured to allow access only to machines whose MAC addresses have been entered into the Include list. This creates a "private" network only accessible to those whose MAC addresses have been added to the list, and prevents others from gaining access to the network. Used together with passwords and firewalls they provide effective barriers to prevent unwanted access to the network. Using the MAC address is a good way of securing a wireless network from access by users "outside" of the local network.
    The mechanism used to share an internet connection is called NAT (Network Address Translation) that is used to "map" a real IP address (the one received by the modem from the ISP) to multiple devices. The actual assignment of the local IP numbers is usually done by the DHCP server in the router (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.) The DHCP server obtains all the IP parameters required by connected devices so they can communicate through the router - the important ones being the Gateway IP, real IP, network mask, and the local IP.
    In theory a router makes it possible for multiple device such as a Mac, a PC, an XBox, and a printer to all connect to a local network and to communicate with each other. I don't use any gaming machines like an XBox, but my home LAN is setup using an Airport Extreme Base Station that is connected to my cable modem and to a high speed network switch. I have three computers, two network printers, and a SlingBox currently connected in the network. The latter connects wireless from an Airport Express. In addition to the devices normally connected there are two other laptops that may connect wirelessly when needed. I have a second Airport Express in the house that is used to help extend the network because my house has plastered walls with metal laths that tend to reduce wireless signal strength.

  • Problems with internet sharing/network connection/ethernet and XBOX 360

    So basically I have a sent my Mac Book Pro 13" (Snow Leopard) away to be fixed, and in return I got a loan Mac Book Pro 15" (Lion). In the two weeks my Mac book was away getting fixed I purchased an XBOX 360, because of my location I am unable to use wireless on my XBOX, so instead I connect the loan Mac Book to the XBOX 360 via network cable.
    This worked fine and I could now connect to XBOX Live and be on the Mac Book at the same time.
    So today my Mac Book (13") is returned, I connect everything up exactly the same also changing the settings on internet sharing making sure that it can be used to send the connection to other devices via ethernet.
    But it just wont connect.
    The XBOX doesnt find the connection like it did before, and it also doesnt register on the MAC Book either.
    I've tried different cables, the same cable I used where it worked before.
    I've tried turning of Virus protection.
    Both still at both ends it is not registering a connection, I have used this Mac Book before through a network cable so I dont think there is a problem there, to my knowledge everything is the same as I did on the other Mac Book but this one does work.
    Have you any advice or tips on how to get this to work?
    Thanks for your time.

    What I did to get my network running again (although I still haven't found out why DHCP has stopped working):
    1. Open the Control Panel of the computer that's trying to connect to the network (not the computer sharing the internet connection)
    2. Go to 'Network' panel, and select the AirPort connection
    3. Under the 'TCP/IP' tab, change 'Configure IPv4' pull-down menu from 'Using DHCP' to 'Manually'.
    4. Enter an IP address between 10.0.2.2 and 10.0.2.256 (I randomly chose 10.0.2.40), a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, and enter 10.0.2.1 in the Router box.
    5. Click "Apply now"
    The computer should now be connected to the network, and able to access the internet. If not, you may need to manually enter a DNS server - put '4.2.2.1' (or an IP for a DNS server provided by your ISP) into the 'DNS Servers' box.
    You need to do that process for each computer you're trying to connect to the shared network, making sure you enter a different IP Address for each.

  • 20" plastic cinema and xbox 360?

    hi all,
    i'm currently running two 20" ADC monitors on my g4. i have an alchemyTV card to capture video and also play xbox/ps2/cube thru svideo.
    on tuesday i add an xbox 360 into the mix. the reviews that i have been reading all say you need an hd set to really appreciate this new machine. in about six months i'll be adding a plasma but in the mean time, is there anyway to get the 360's VGA, component or D-Terminal HD cable to run on a 20" ADC display?
    here's some links to the cables at lik-sang
    D-Terminal HD (cleanest signal, preferred)

    any input is greatly appreciated.

    I was wondering about that too? I have a clear 17' ADC with a Apple G5 Dp 1.8(8 slots). I know it'll look good on our monitors but how can we do it w/

  • Air port express and Xbox 360

    I use the Airport Express as my wireless router. When I first bought it I just used it for Air Tunes to my outside speakers, no problem. Then I was able to get cable internet and used it to connect to my iMac, no problem. Then my wife bought a laptop, connected to the ApE, no problem. Bought a Vizio Bluray, connected to the ApE, no problem. THEN I got an Xbox 360, the newest one out with the built in wifi, big problem. Nothing I can do will connect it to the ApE. I have tried manually setting the IP, subnetmask, SSID with password and nothing. Any thoughts on this??? Yes, I'm trying to play email wars with Microsoft support, but no help yet.

    One option would be to enable Internet Sharing on the iMac to share the Internet connection to the XBox's Ethernet port.
    To setup for Internet Sharing (Wireless to Wired):
    Enable Software Firewall
    System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
    o Click Stop to start the software firewall
    Setup the Network
    Cable Modem > (Ethernet cable) > /[Ethernet port] Wireless Internet Router > (wireless) > /[AirPort Card] iMac /[Ethernet port] > (Ethernet cable) > /[Ethernet port] XBox 360
    Setup Port Order
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
    o Verify that "AirPort" and "Built-In Ethernet" are enabled.
    o Verify that "AirPort" is at the top of the list, followed by "Built-In Ethernet."
    o Click "Apply Now."
    Configure the Internet Connection
    System Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort > TCP/IP
    o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    o Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
    Enable Internet Sharing
    System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
    o Share your connection from: AirPort

  • Ps3 and Xbox 360 already asked many times but no solution works

    Hi,
    first of all I'd like to share with all of you my real disappoint for having bought this Airport Extreme Base Station. I really hope that someone at Apple will read my post and come to my house because I would have just a few words to tell them.
    After 4 years of proficuous cooperation my Netgear WI-Fi router left me and I immediately thought to replace it with an Apple product just to be sure that it would have been easy to install and on top of performances.
    I chose the Airport Extreme which is much more expensive than quite all the other same product but I didn't care about it because I would have brang home an excellent product.....or...at least I thought it !
    Once in my room the soap opera began. I'm not a genius but I consider myself a medium skilled user and, in any case, even it is not my real job, I configured many bigger LANs than my personal ones and I never had such kidn of problem.
    I read many posts where people were asking for information because they couldn't connect their Airport Extreme to their PS3 or Xbox 360 but I never had such kind of problem. It really worked immediately and both consoles worked in few moments.
    My REAL problem is that both of them are terribly slow and I can't do anything online. I can't see streming videos, I can't play online and I can't neither play videos that are on a LAN DLNA server !!!!! It takes about 35 seconds to play a video and some times it has to stop for empty buffering reason. This is really unacceptable.
    I tried so many configurations and nothing changed and I also took a look at some guides but they had been written with old firmwares so they are quite unuseful for me.
    After having asked a friend of mine to give me his router (a Netgear ones) for some days I finally made myself sure that the problem is the Airport Extreme.
    It also has a very poor signal because my iPhone has difficulties to keep the connection in areas where my old router worked fully.
    If only I could turn back time I'd never buy it again but now, having spent to useless my money, could you please let me know a working configuration for the latest firmware 7.4.2 ? I tried to use the previous firmware but I have the same problems.
    There is only a wall separating the Airport Extreme from the PS3 and Xbox and both of them get a 100% of signal but I really don't know what to do.
    Thanks for all the help you could provide me.
    Bye.
    Christian

    Sorry but I have no way to measure the actual throughput for any of my devices (I have 2 Xboxes which have the same problem and even my iPhone suffer of a bad connection).
    In any case I really can't understand why the connection is so bad. I can even get in touch with my ISP to ask them if there is some problem with the connection (maybe a coincidence and the Airport Extreme has nothing to do with it ?????) but the facts remain: even my DLNA server and PS3 connection is slow and I can't clearly see the movies I have in my intenal LAN and also the iPhone show a poor connection to the Airport Extreme and it is because of the Extreme for sure.
    I really don't know what to do.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n and XBox 360 Disonnects

    I've been using the Airport Xtreme 802.11n for about a week now and have been frequently disconnected from Xbox live on my xbox 360. The NAT is open and I'm directly connected to the router via an ethernet cable. I've given the 360 a static IP address and have forwarded ports 88 and 3074. The disconnects have happened both while in the middle of a online game and while I'm just on the Dashboard. Does anyone have any suggestions or is anyone else experiencing this. Please Help! It's extremely frustrating!

    I have been having this problem as well. It says the server timed out, then my AEBS starts flashing yellow. Sometimes it goes back to green on its own, then other times I have to open up the airport setup. Oddly mine happens the same time every night, give or take 5 minutes.
    For more info on my setup: XBOX360 wired to the AEBS, connected to a Motorola modem. At&t DSL is my ISP.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Airport Extreme Base Station and XBOX 360 Compatability?

    Hi There,
    I'm looking for some advice please.
    I have just ordered a AEBS as I have been told that the Belkin N1 wireless router that I bought last week is incompatable with my macbook. I have read reports that the AEBS doesn't connect with the XBOX 360. These reports were from a while ago. Does anybody know if this has been sorted on the versions shipping now?
    Thanks

    What you mean the router is incompatible? Is supposed to work regardless of the brand.Apple uses "n" at the 5ghz frequency (ala "a").Everybody else uses 2.4 ghz.and still you can connect because is b and g frequencies.
    I don't know if the n speeds can be accomplished at 2.4 ghz.A friend has alinksys draft n router and I connected fine.
    Regarding theABSE & 360: if it is the "n" one you can use it with xbox live I'm using it plugged to the base station.I resetted my network settings in the 360 and it worked after that(before I couldn't go online).

Maybe you are looking for
