WRT610N, WET610N, XBOX, Windows Media Center Setup

I've searched the heck out of these forums and others.  Most of the posts regarding connection problems between the Xbox and Windows Media Center using the WRT610N are fairly old and seem unresolved.  I fear the people that had the problem have either solved it, and didn't return to post the solution or worse, gave up and returned their router. 
I have the WRT610N V2 and I'd like to know if I can reliably use it with my xbox before the opportunity to exchange it ends.  I've always been a fan of Linksys.  But I am not inclined to suffer this degraded performance.  Is there a recommended WRT610N setup for reliable performance with the Xbox?
Yes, this is the second time I've asked the question here.  But I got nothing on my first and suspected the subject didn't draw enough or the right attention.  Please help.  I really don't want to give up on Linksys.

Follow up to the situation.
Keep in mind that most of the suggestions regarding the 610n and the Xbox 360 problems are pretty old and I believe related to V1 of the router.  The lack of response I've gotten lead me to believe these suggestions were not applicable to V2.  But rest assured, I'm not imagining this problem.  The connection from the Xbox and WMC is inconsistent at startup, halts occasionally, and hiccups in streaming music pretty regularly.
I have really only tested in the few hours I have available on weeknights.  I don't have the time to completely rearrange the network configuration every evening to try all of the suggestions I've read.  Especially since I can't change much on the adapter remotely.  I have to pull out my equipment rack, pull the power plug out of the surge protector to bring it into the office where the desktop computer is to reconfigure it.  Because of this, I have been hesitant to make a lot of changes hoping that someone would post the "no shyt solution". 
What's really got me is that since buying this router just this past weekend (at BestBuy by the way) I've had such varying results with little configuration change.  Sunday I got everything up just fine, but had hiccups in the streaming music.  Monday I had to power down everything to get the xbox to connect to WMC and I switched to static IPs at that time.  Once connected, I had the hiccups in the streaming music using WMC and LastFM.  Then on Tuesday evening, I still had the hiccups.  Then on Wednesday night, everything worked perfectly (both WMC and LastFM).  But I hadn't changed anything since the hiccups on Tuesday night.  I thought maybe the router needed time to settle in?  Yeah, pretty crazy notion given we're talking about networking.  If it's going to work, you'd think it would work right off the bat or not work.  So Thursday night, last night, the hiccups were back (both WMC and LastFM).  And they seemed worse than ever before.
I would like to note that I have frequently tested the alternative method of streaming music with the xbox that uses the Windows Media Player vice Windows Media Center.  That capability has had no problem at any time.  The WMC is a more pleasant and richer interface but I didn't have a WMC capable computer before.  So in a pinch, I can continue using the WMP interface if I'm entertaining and haven't gotten this WMC thing worked out.  But I had the WMP interface with my old Linksys G equipment.  I just spent a fair dollar to gain N and WMC, I feel I have wasted my money if I have to drop back to the WMP interface.
Anyway, back to results...  I'm off today and figured I'll try some of the suggestions.  This morning initially, the xbox will connect with WMC, but won't maintain the connection.  This is before I even fire up any music.  So, here I am again scanning the Linksys forum for the suggestions.  I figure I'll try the recommendations that don't require me to pull the WET610N into my office for reconfiguration.  Ok, so a few easy recommendations (mind you, these were all provided for the V1, I haven't read anything particular to the V2), is to change the Beacon Interval to 50, Fragmentation and RTS Thresholds to 2306 and 2307 respectively.  So far, that's all I've done, and of course powered the router and adapter down.
Everything is working perfectly.  Am I convinced I have a solution?  No.  As I've read and in my own experience, things in this router change day to day.  What works today might not work tomorrow.
So if there is anyone out there that is familiar with this problem, your insight would be invaluable to me!

  • Windows media center on the xbox with wrt110

    I have my network set up, and it works really well. My only complaint is that I can not get a conection between my PC & xbox 360 so I can use windows media center. I can connect to the internet with the 360, but I can not get a connetion to my pc.
    I am using a Wirless-G PCI Adapter with SpeedBooster & 2.4GHz 802.11g. Windows Vista,  & WRT110.
    How can I get this to work????????

    To use Windows Media Center with your Xbox 360 console, you must have a PC running Windows Media Center. You have a compatible Windows Media Center PC if you have:
    Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
    Windows Vista Home Premium
    Windows Vista Ultimate
    Note : Windows Media Center is not included with Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista Home Basic, or Windows Vista Business.
    To set up Windows Media Center on your console:
       1. On your Windows Media Center PC, go to www.xbox.com/pcsetup to make sure your software is up-to-date.
       2. In the Xbox Dashboard, go to My Xbox and open Windows Media Center.
       3. Follow the instructions on the screen to finish Windows Media Center setup.

  • E3000 + Windows Media Center

    Hello --
    I am trying to setup my laptop (and hopefully my desktop) to an XBOX 360 for Windows Media Center. I configured the XBOX so that it changed from Moderate to perfect by configuring the port forwarding and sent to a reserved IP address on the XBOX. I can browse my internal network on my Windows 7 laptop and see both the laptop, desktop, the XBOX and the router all on the same network (they are all connected to the same band, but I tried doing it in seperate bands too with no difference). 
    I get the Windows Media Center codes from the XBOX and I plug them into Windows Media Center and it cannot find the XBOX. I turned the Windows Firewall off too and that made no difference. I opened up the ports (on the XBOX and tried it on the laptop) based on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/911728 for configuring the XBOX as the extender. I am not sure which device (XBOX or laptop) gets those ports forwarded but I tried it both ways and it made no difference -- the device could not be seen. 
    I tried it with uPNP and with it off -- made no difference.
    Anyone with any ideas or experience using XBOX Windows Media Center Extender with the E3000??? Thanks in advance.

    Hopefully this thread will get a solution.  I have the same problem.  I can not get Windows Media Center to recognize that I have an (new) Xbox 360 and I can't get the Xbox to see any PC's.  I can see the Xbox in Media Sharing and have it checked to share media. 
    When moving through the steps of the Media Center -> Task -> Add Extender it tells me that my Windows Firewall settings need to be changed, but it's turned off.  As is the firewall on Norton.
    Don't mean to hijack the thread here, just hoping that a solution is found.
    Thanks,

  • 'Windows Media Center Receiver Service' stops and cannot be restarted

    Hi,
    I have had some issues with running my Hauppage TV Tuners (WinTV-HVR-2200) on a new Windows 7 Home Premium Installation.
    After installing the TV Tuner card, drivers and WMC support software - I am able to configure my TV channels through Windows Media Centre and all is working fine. I can watch and record TV, so it all seems to be OK. It is only AFTER I restart my computer
    that I get an error 'Viewing/Listening Device is currently not available' when trying to watch TV in WMC again.
    I troubleshooted this issue and found that 'Windows Media Centre Receiver Service' was not running and when I tried to restart the service (via services.msc) it comes up with the following error:
    "0x80070003: File path not found"
    I have checked the Windows directory for ehrecvr.exe (the file that the service is linked to) and it is not corrupted or moved but I cannot re-link or restart the service.
    I tried the following tasks to remedy the issue and none of them were successful:
    Run SFC from cmd prompt - no issues were found
    Changed the 'logon' details for the service from Network to Local
    Changed the start type of the service from manual to automatic
    Restored previous versions of windows - prior to windows updates
    Re-install TV Tuner drivers and software
    Updated to the latest drivers and software version of 'WinTV' (Hauppage TV Tuner Software)
    Complete new installation of windows, including a format of the HDD - without installing additional third party software or anit-virus software
    Re-seat the TV tuner in a new PCI slot
    The only way that I am able to remedy the issue is if I disable and then re-enable WMC via 'optionalfeatures'. This then allows the service to start again, I can then configure my TV tuner in WMC but it still has issues after restarting the PC!
    It would appear that by configuring the TV tuners in WMC, it causes a conflict in the service so that it cannot be restarted after it is stopped. Note: I can start/stop the service with the TV tuner cards installed on my PC - it is only when I configure
    the TV channels in WMC that it then has issues.
    I have had these TV tuners running without any issues for over 2 years; however I have upgraded the motherboard and CPU and this issue has only just started happening. I am at a loss of what to look at next...
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks

    I shall suggest you :
    1. uninstall WinTV software and reinstall WMC from the scratch.
    2. Disable AV or any other internet security application during configuring WMC.
    3. Update the TV Tuner card driver from Hauppage's website (only WMC driver and no other application)
    Run Setup Again.
    Open WMC > Tasks > Settings > General > Windows Media Center Setup > Run Setup Again
    Does it help?
    If the above doesn't help then try resetting WMC:-
    Open Control Panel > Uninstall a Program > Turn Windows Features on or off > Scroll down to Media Features > Uncheck the box against Windows Media Center > Follow on screen instructions > Reboot > Again open Turn Windows Features on
    or off under Control Panel > Scroll down to Media Features > Check the box against Windows Media Center.
    Now reconfigure WMC again

  • Problem streaming from Windows Media Center to XBOX 360 with Airports?

    Good evening,
    I have been having an issue trying to stream windows media center from my windows 7 ultimate (64 bit if that helps) to my Xbox 360. My network setup is:
    I have an airport extreme (G) that is plugged into my cable modem and my windows 7 machine. In my living room I have an airport express that extends my wireless signal through out the house but my xbox 360 is plugged into it via ethernet. I have a very fast internet connection that is stable but any transfer between my computer and xbox is very limited it seems. I was wonder if there is a way to get this to work better. When I lunch windows media center on the xbox it sees my pc and it shows the available files but when I try and move from one to the other nothing happens and eventually I get a can't connect error. Would I be better off not connecting via ethernet to the airport express and just buying a wireless adapter?
    Thanks

    You don't say how your devices are connected, whether through your Verizon router or some other way.  If through, say, an Actiontec then you may be having bottleneck issues.  I used to run all my devices through my Actiontec and got poor transfer speeds (it only handles 10/100).  Moving everything on my network to a 10/100/1000 switch helped my transfer speeds to shoot right up ten fold.  This way only the switch gets connected to my Actiontec and my network devices can still get out on the 'net if needed.
    It's ok to try to reinvent the wheel, but just make sure it's round.

  • Windows Media Center and Xbox 360 have stopped communicating

    I've had my Xbox and PC connected for years and have never had an issue until now. My laptop is running Windows 7, and has a wireless connection, but the Xbox is hardwired into my router. Now for some reason, the connection just stopped working. I
    tried deleting the old extender connection in Windows Media Center and generated a new pass code for it on the Xbox. When I enter it in, my PC tells me that my Xbox is connected to a different network, but it's not. I only have the one network and I know my
    PC isn't mistakenly connected to an unsecured, neighboring one. I've unplugged my modem and router, restarted the Xbox and my computer, checked my connection on both devices multiple times, but I can't seem to find a solution. So, what more can I do?

    Check the support web site of the manufacturer of your wireless router for the latest firmware update and install it.  If none is available, proceed to
    Reset Your Router to Factory Default Settings.

  • Windows Media Center (IE XBOX) problems

    I turn on the xbox go to WMC it starts right up,after a minute or two i get disconnected due to this message:
    Extender Disconnected
    A program on your windows media center pc has caused the xbox 360 to disconnect would you like to reconnect?
    reconnect                                cancel
    But then it reconnects its self and does it again and again
    Please help me figure this one out, very aggravating.
    FYI my computer was recently wiped completely due to a power outage
    scott

    Hi,
    It can be caused by some anti-virus software installed in your system or some other 3 rd party applications, turn off the anti-virus as a test.
    For 3 rd party applications, you can boot you system into a cleanboot mode, if it disappear in this mode, then follow the instructions in this kb to narrow down the cause.

  • Can't get Xbox 360 Media Center Extender to work

    I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64.  This is a retail copy.  I had previously set up Windows Media Center and successfully set up my Xbox 360 as a Media Center Extender.
    After a long hiatus of using Windows Media Center, I went to watch a movie in my media library through my Xbox 360.  It would appear to initially connect and then show the Windows Media Center loading screen and say "Contacting..."  After about 30 seconds, it would display an error asking me to make sure my Windows Media Center PC is turned on (it is).  I ran the Windows Media Center network test in the Xbox 360 and it tested fine.
    I attempted to delete the Media Center Extender in WMC and set it up again, but it always fails with an error "An error was encountered while configuring your computer for use with this Extender" at the part where it says "Configuring your Extender".
    I looked in the Event Viewer under the Media Center section and found event ID 543:

    I also tried turning off the Windows firewall on the Windows Media Center PC, but this had no effect on the outcome.  I also tried deleting the Microsoft Windows Media Center Extender Host certificate and restarting the Network List Service, but these steps to did nothing to fix the issue.
    I am using the same computer with the same NIC with the same Ethernet cable with the same SOHO router (Linksys WRT54GL) with the same Xbox 360.  Any advice would be welcome at this point.

  • 5th Gen Airport Extreme, XBox360 and Windows Media Center

    Hi there. A similar question was posted in August 2011, but the resolution was apparently to return the 5th Gen Airport Extreme in favor of a 4th Gen Airport Extreme. Not really a solution.  Here's the setup:
    Upstairs
    2nd Gen Airport Extreme  --- (wired) --- XBox 360
    {wireless signal)
    downstairs
    Cable connection --- (wired) --- 5th Gen Airport Extreme --- (wired) --- Win 7 PC with Windows Media Player
    Wireless network is set up as 802.11n (no b/g)
    Xbox can see the Intenet and XBL just fine. And on the  Win 7 PC I have no problem setting up the Xbox as an extender.  But when I'm on the Xbox, the Media Center app is unusably slow. Like minutes to connect and I can't even get to a menu.
    What can I do? Let me know what information is useful and I'll gladly provide it. Thanks.
    -P

    Take a look at this like for help in setting up an AirPort Extreme Base station with Cisco VPN

  • Windows Media Center Crashes

    Hi!
    I tried to connect my Xbox 360 with my PC through Windows Media Center Extender. WMC asks for a setup key given by the Xbox. I entered the key and when i clicked on "Continue" button WMC crashed. This happened every time I tried. I also tried in
    Clean Boot mode, but the program chrashed just the same as in normal mode. I need help, because I have no idea why is this happening.

    Remove the existing computer connection
    To fix this problem, remove the existing computer connection. Here's how:
    On your console, go to the Settings and then System.
    Select Computers.
    Select Windows Media Center.
    Select Disconnect.
    Go back to Xbox Home. Select Apps and then My Apps.
    Select Windows Media Center.
    You should now see a setup key:
    Set up Windows Media Center on Windows 7 and Xbox 360
    Troubleshoot the connection between Windows Media Center and your Xbox 360

  • A700 blue screen of death when performing Live TV Search in Windows Media Center

    I just got my new Lenovo IdeaCenter A700 today and have been busy setting it up.  I was trying to set up the TV on it, and used Windows Media Center.  I plugged the tv cable in to the back of the computer and selected "live tv setup".  I then put in my zipcode and it was downloading some things and then came up with a blue screen.  When the computer restarted the information below was the MS error message.  I have attached the files mentioned in the log.  This happened to me twice.
    Hope you can help.

  • Using the Apple Remote with Windows Media Center

    Hello guys
    First of all, I am Swiss, so excuse me for my bad English (grammar and stuff...)
    So, my problem: I bought the Apple Remote and I think it is very awsome! But since Apple has removed Front Row in Lion, I don't really can use it anymore. So I'd tried to use it with Windows 7 Media Center. But it doesn't work correctly. Does anyone know, how to fix that?
    Thank you

    I had a Green Button remote provided with HP PC XP, Vista for Windows Media Center prior to getting Mac Pro.
    Now in Lion, I have Hauppauge WinTV HVR-980 USB adapter (less than $100) including a remote that works in Lion for the Hauppauge TV app.
    In Windows, the same remote works with all "Media Center" processes Music, Pictures, TV... instead of mouse/keyboard. If your TV service requires set top box, then you have to use its remote to change channels.
    If ISP's internet Co-Ax also carries TV signal, you can get Cable Splitter (smple picture):
    http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2-Way-TV-RF-Coaxial-Cable-Splitter-CATV-Signal-/320868649 227?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ab543090b  
    and feed 1 co-ax to USB TV adapter, the other to your Modem/Router.
    The Hauppage USB was a good choice because it serves Mac & Windows.
    Also, In Windows, if you have an XBox, it can be used as "Extender" for your A/V output.

    Although this may not answer your question, it describes other options.

  • Is there or can Microsoft develop a app for smart TVs so you can stream from Windows Media Center

    I have used Windows Media Center for years to record TV programs and have even sertup my kids Xbox 360 as an extender.  I've recently purchased a smart TV which allows me to steam music and home videoes from Windows media player but ofcourse the .wtv
    files will not play.  Would it be possible to develop an app for Smart TVs and other devices so they can be used as extenders.  I'm sure many people would be willing to pay for the app.  I've tried some 3rd party extenders and not been
    happy with there performance and I'd like to not need another box and remote.  I'm sure these new TVs have the ability to do it will microsoft allow them too? 

    Hi,
    I agree with S.Sengupta.
    You may contact the support of the smart TVs and request a tool to match Windows media player.
    Hope it helps.

  • XBox and Media Center on Boot Camp

    My PC just died so I installed Windows 7 on one of my macs and really all I use it for it Windows Media Center to stream movies to my XBox 360. I went through the windows 7 install and all was good. When I tried to get my XBox to see the media center, it would not see it. Is this just not compatable?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    I tried doing a search and found nothing. The link you gave does not help either. I know how to set up the xbox as an extender. Was working fine when I connected it to a Dell with windows 7. Now that the dell died I moved windows 7 to my iMac with boot camp. Now it will not connect. I try to connect but I am never given a code. Its like the xbox doesnt see the computer. Is there something extra I need to do being that this is on mac hardware? Is it just not compatible?
