WRVS4400n slowly blocks/drops internet games (xbox 360)

As you read from the subject title. my WRVS4400n plays different online games with no problem for about 1 minute. after that the connection slowly get worse to the point where it seems to just stop responding. its almost like it does it slowly to torture you. my connection is 7.1ADSL so it is not lag. i haven't tried downloading large files but laptops seem to be able to browse the internet at lightning speeds.
It is located behind a wrt150n which i converted to a wireless switch. i turned off its SPI firewall to be safe.
firmware: 1.1.08 (beta)
UPnP: enabled
encryption: WPA Personal
channel: 3
QoS: no
IPS: enabled, blocking p2p filesharing and bittorrents
i tried turning off all the firewall settings. it didn't change anything. i read that this router is a peice of junk but i was hoping that this sounded like a classic case of something that could be tweaked.
there are going to be 23 people in my house in the fall, there are currently 6. so i cant make myself the DMZ host or port forward all xbox ports to me, that would be selfish.
Any help would greatly be appreciated. If you need more info on my settings, let me know.

  • Sharing Internet with xbox 360

    Hi, I have my Powerbook sharing internet with my Xbox 360. The connection works well and I am able to play games, but the NAT is listed as Moderate, with a Moderate NAT I am not able to do private voice chats with people. Does anyone know how I can get my NAT to Open? Also, I would like to share my media with my Xbox that is stored on a Windows XP computer. I followed all the steps given at www.xbox.com/pcsetup, but the Xbox still does not see the computer.
    Any help would be appreciated, Thnx

    If you are using Internet Sharing on your PowerBook you can forget trying to modify NAT settings or make nearly any other adjustments. There are very, very, very few options.
    If you want to make adjustments like that you need to get a real base station.

  • Connecting iBook's internet to Xbox 360?

    I know this may be a long shot, but is there any way for me to use my iBook's wireless internet connection to set up live on xbox 360? thanks

    Actually yes. That's what I do when I go to my friend's house and his router isn't anywhere near his TV. I understand not wanting to drop $100 bucks on a wireless adapter.
    First you need to enable internet connection sharing for the ethernet card. Go into System Preferences then Sharing. Go to Internet tab and select to share your Airport connection. Make sure you have Built-In Ethernet selected below and click Start.
    Then you need to setup the ethernet card that you will use to plug your xbox 360 into and i always opt for manual setup rather than DHCP for internet connection sharing. Go into System Preferences and then "Network." Click on the "Built-In Ethernet." Click "Configure" at the bottom. Where it says "Configure IPv4" select "Manually."
    Set the network cards ip address to 192.168.2.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0
    Set your xbox 360 to the following
    Go into your System Settings blade and select Network Settings. Edit, then make sure you select manual. After you enter the IP, Subnet, and Gateway. Just test it to make sure those clear. Your DNS won't pass right away. Then go back to the settings and select to edit your Primary DNS to the address below.
    IP address 192.168.2.2, Subnet mask 255.255.255.0, Default gateway 192.168.2.1, DNS 192.168.2.1
    I usually don't get as fast a connection as I do any other way but it works. If it works, hit me up on Live with FR at SG Big Pun.

  • Sharing Internet with Xbox 360 *DNS* -- Previous Posts Didn't Help!

    I am running OSX 10.5.1
    I want to share my laptop's wireless connection with my xbox via the ethernet port.
    My router's IP address is: 192.168.1.1
    My PowerBook's airport IP address is: 192.168.1.3

    Subnet Masks: 255.255.255.0
    Router: 192.168.1.1 (if this is left blank, the xbox can't correctly obtain an IP address, don't ask me why, and occasionally, it stops my laptop from getting internet... weird)

  • New Problem:ONT Fixed Xbox 360 dropping connections

    Ok SO After I got a new ont today, connection drops to all of my devices,execept my xbox 360, wired, are good, my 360 randomly disconnects every 15 minutes or so even just sitting on the dashboard, Ports are open, connected directly to the modem, and my dns servers are google dns 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4. Cannot figure this out for the life of me, just my xbox 360.

    Are you saying that the connection drops to your xbox 360 but the other devices stay connected? We only ask this because you mentioned that it disconnects every 15 minutes or so. Is it the farthest away from your router? You may just want to change the wireless channel in the router. It sounds like you may have some potential wireless interference going on.

  • Connecting an xbox 360 to the internet wirelessly

    Hello,
    First of all I want to apologize for writing another post about this topic. I know that there are other posts about it, but I'm very busy and don't have enough time to read through them all and pick out the info I need.
    I'm thinking about purchasing a TimeCapsule along with an iMac to replace the family computer. My son has an Xbox 360 and is currently connecting wirelessly to the internet using the Microsoft Wireless Adapter and a Netgear router connected to the Windows desktop. I plan to replace the Windows desktop with the iMac and replace the Netgear router with the TimeCapsule. If this is what I do, will he still be able to connect to XboxLive? Please get back to me as soon as you can!
    Thanks!

    I think it only works if you use the network with 802.11b or g and a lesser security. The wireless 360 won't work with 802.11n and the wpa2 security.

  • 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.

  • Can AirPort express be used for AirPlay with my home stereo, and to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via ethernet, simultaneously?

    I am considering buying an airport but I am not sure if it will work how I would like it to.  I need it for two things.  The first would be to use for AirPlay with my home stereo.  The second would be to use as a way to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via the ethernet port.  I would like to do these things simultaneously, rather than constantly changing the configuration and being limited to a single function each time I do so.
    Thanks!

    The 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can be configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, it would join an existing wireless network and its Ethernet port would be enabled for a wired client, like your Xbox 360. This configuration would also support AirPlay simultaneously.

  • I'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games.

    i'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games!

    I have exactly the same problem.
    I'm a little peed-off with Microsoft on this. The original wireless controller I have doesn't work either since the cable I'm using is 'just' the charge and play cable, so a direct connection to my Mac won't work with this cable. It's a cable for god's sake. Why on EARTH put any limitations on this!?!?
    Next I learn I need an additional USB wireless receiver from Microsoft to get my original 360 controller to talk to my Mac. As I certainly don't want to fork any more microsoft dollars on this, this is not an option.
    Next I think, yes! I have a MadCatz 360 wired USB controller. This should surely do the trick just plugging it in and the way I go. But oh no, for some reason I plug my MadCatz Xbox360 controller in, it flashes a few times then switches off and can't be turned on again.
    The System Profiles recognizes it as a MadCatz 360 device controller but that is about it, but the ontroller software I download for the System Prefs (360Controller, USBOverdrive etc) don't even recognize the controller as being plugged in.
    What the **** Is The Microsoft Deal with all of this!?!?
    PS: Oh, and I forgot to mention, there are No drivers for device 4716 that I can find on the MadCatz website, or am I going blind?
    If anyone has a link, it would be appreciated.

  • 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.
