XBOX 360 and airport extreme

Hi all,
I have recently redone my network in the house and have a new airport extreme as a base station and another new airport extreme in my kids bedroom set to "join network" which it appears to do nicely as we get a green light but if I attach ethernet cables to that AE the brand new XBOX 360 cannot seem to get an IP address - currently the network is assigning IP addresses 10.1.0.X to other things but on the xbox 360 it seems to get a 169.X.X.X address when set to automatic (it can attach via wireless nicelly)
Also a PC that I try to attach via that AE does not attach to the network.
Any help greatly appreciated
cheers
Andrew

Using wireless, if you open AirPort Utility, can you "see" both of your AirPort Extreme devices?
If yes, you can check the configuration on the "main" device and change the configuration on the "remote" device.
On the "main" device, open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup.
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Make sure that there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Update settings.
On the remote, open AirPort Utility - clickk Manual setup. Click the Wireless icon
Change the Wireless Mode to "Extend a wireless network"
Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow wireless clients".
Update settings.

Need to open NAT for Xbox 360 using AirPort Extreme 2012 Model

Alright this is driving me crazy haha.
Here is the equipment im working with.
Xbox 360
Motoroloa SB6141 Modem from time warner cable
Airport extreme 2012 model
Early 2011 Macbook pro
if its been released i have the update for it. haha
So i have not had this issue before i got the SB6141 on Saturday.
I have read things about it and none of it is clicking. trying to get more personalized help here.
Any Help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

So i have not had this issue before i got the SB6141 on Saturday.
That.....is the problem.
Right now, you are getting Double NAT because the modem is providing NAT firewall and the AirPort is providing NAT firewall. That equals Double NAT also known as Strict NAT.
Contact Time Warner support to get the default IP address for the modem so that you can get into the settings and turn off the firewall in the modem. It needs to be set to pure bridge mode. A decent phone tech will know how to do this.
If you have other modem options, you won't have this problem with a Netgear CMD31T....also on the list of TWC recommended modems.

Xbox 360 and Airports

i use a bridged network with an airport extreme and express in it. when i just use the extreme i dont lagg out of games or disconnect for no reason but it has a weak signal. when i use the bridged network i have a strong signal but it drops constantly. i cant seem to fix it. please help.

ok so is there any way to boost the range of the extreme without reducing bandwidth?
Yes, but only if you have them connected by Ethernet. Extending via a wireless connection, using a Wireless Distribution System (WDS), comes with a hefty bandwidth penalty. Basically for every base station added to the WDS, the overall bandwidth would be cut in half.
The internet sharing software that it has isnt really made for gaming and has certain restrictions that you cant yet change.
That is correct. When the MacBook is configured for Internet Sharing, it is basically performing as a software router with very limited features. At best, it would be considered a workaround to be used in lieu of a hardware router which would be better designed for the task.
So after all this and assuming there isn't a way to effectively boost the range of the extreme without decreasing speed or reliability, would I be better of using the express to get internet to my xbox? like you would do when you stream music?
I would assume that you would want to use the Express to extend the wireless range of the Extreme. Again you would only two ways to do so: 1) Configuring them for a WDS, or 2) Connecting them by Ethernet. The latter option would not experience any bandwidth loss, but does require the Ethernet connection.

Xbox 360 and Airport Exress

I've tried to read the forums for an answer to my question, but I just didn't find anything. Here's the situation: I've got an Airport Express and an xbox 360 with a wireless network adapter. The xbox recognizes the AE but it cannot establish an IP address. I know for a fact that other people in my house have been able to access the airport and reach the internet, so I don't think there's an issue with the settings of the AE. I don't have any security enabled, either. Do I need to manually input the network information into the xbox itself (IP, Submask, Router)? I have everything set to automatic, but that obviously isn't working.

Are there any symptoms? For example does the xbox give any specific error messages.
What sort of options does the xbox's wireless adaptor give you? Generally the most basic setting would be to use automatic/DHCP and then specify the name of the wireless network you are trying to join.

XBOX 360 with Airport Extreme (latest model as of Sept 2008)

Ok, so I went through a small **** to fix this, but I figured I'd share with the rest of you that might be just as frustrated.
Most of us just take a router out of a box, plug it in, and it works...right? Well, in this case you may have to do a little configuring. Not hard, but you need to do it.
first, call your internet service provider (in my case, AT&T) and have them give you the user name and password to the internet account. For AT&T users, this is the primary email address and password associated with the DSL account.
Then you have to put your modem into "bridge mode". When you do this, it's important to have the username/password, cuz you will need it to establish an internet connection. I did mine with the AT&T guy on the phone....I suggest the same in case there are issues...
Then, when you program your airport extreme from the desktop, open up the airport utility and manually configure the internet settings to PPPoE. Here is where you put in your username/password you obtained from your ISP. Under NAT, I left mine on "Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol.
It may be far fetched, but its working fine for me according to my Xbox's network test. It says my NAT is open. It's a freaking Miracle
Tekkies, feel free to elaborate. This is a very condensed version.
Anyone have any questions, Holla...

NO, Not at all.

Using the Airport with an Xbox 360 and such

Hey guys I'm thinking of buying a new Airport Extreme N for my home since my linksys router is being stubborn. I have an xbox 360 and i was wondering if it worked well with it. What i mean is it faster with the Extreme and is it very reliable. Thanks guys for helping me out and have a Merry Christmas. --- Vinny the Pooh

I just got the Airport for Christmas and it only took a couple of minutes to set up with my xbox 360 and all of my computers connected right away. The signal is twice as good as the signal with my linksys router was. Much better for xbox live. Good luck

Xbox 360 and apple airport ip address HELP PLEASE!

hey i just got an xbox 360 and i got the wireless internet adapter than microsoft makes to pick up my wireless internet. I have an ADSL ethernet modem that is plugged into my Airport, which is streaming in my house. So on my xbox i got the test for the wireless connection to work. then the test for the IP address failed. I have looked online to find the IP address, but i dont know which one i need (of the computer? the airport? the modem box?) and the subnet mask, and gateway, and the DNS numbers. can anyone help please? i have mac os X if that helps

i think that's what i mean. sorry im so confusing. i have a mac laptop, which is connected to my wireless network at home, which is an apple airport (you know the little white box that plugs into the electrical outlet) which is also plugged into an ADSL ethernet modem box from US Robotics (which is my cable internet). so then i will be able to find the IP of the airport where? network settings? and last thing, if that is the gateway for the xbox, what is the subnet mask, and the actual ip address of the xbox?
also, if this helps, when i look at Network, under System preferences, Airport is the network, and under TCP/IP it says that the IP Address is 10.0.1.2, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and the Router is 10.0.1.1

Xbox 360 and wired connection

I'm trying to connect my Xbox 360 to my Airport Extreme using a wired ethernet connection. However, the Xbox 360 always says "MTU Failed". I've reserved an IP address for my Xbox 360, and tried opening ports 88 and 3074 for UDP and 3074 for TCP as Microsoft suggests, and I even tried using the IP assigned to the Xbox 360 as the NAT host, but it still doesn't work. I also tried connecting my Xbox 360 directly to the modem and it worked perfectly so I know it's not an issue with my ISP. Does anyone know what the problem might be? I tried searching, but it seems everyone's problems are when trying to connect the Xbox wirelessly and disappear when they connect the Xbox 360 directly to the Airport Extreme.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, i have it sorted
MTU setting should be:
Primary DNS server -> your router address (which could be 10.0.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 etc.. depend on your number, everybody is different, check underneath your router box)
Secondary server: Your ip address, can be found in -> safari: type www.whatsmyip.org (don't give this away!!)
now it should pass all the test.. enjoy guys

How to connect my iPad, Brother printer, and AirPort Extreme?

How to connect my iPad, Brother printer, and AirPort Extreme?

I don't believe any of the Brother printers are AirPrint-enabled. Is your Brother printer network-ready? That is, does is support either/both a wired or wireless connection or just uses USB to connect?

Extending a network with Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme (via Belkin powerline)

Hello -
I've seen many topics about extending wireless networks here, but none seems to resolve the issue I'm having. I currently have a setup where a DSL cable modem is connected to a Time Capsule and I need to extend this network to another room using an AirPort Extreme.
I live in a very old apartment in Brazil and the walls seem to block the signal from one room to another, hence the need to extend it. Since wireless signal is very weak between rooms, I bought a Belkin powerline AV500 so I could connect both Time Capsule and AirPort using the electrical power at home (just installing a regular Ethernet cable between rooms is not an option).
I started with the basics: configure the Time Capsule + DSL as a standalone network, and it works perfectly within it's range. Then I connected the Belking powerline, plugged a MacBook via Ethernet on the other end and still got very good results (actually better speed than expected). Used it for a while with streaming and other network intensive tasks to make sure it could sustain the connection.
Finally, pluggned the AirPort Extreme on the Belking powerline and this is where the problems started. AirPort Utility 6.3.1 only gives me the option of extending a network wirelessly - it doesn't seem to give me the option of extending it via Etherenet (roaming), which is not good in my case. Luckly I had a copy of AirPort Utility 5.6 which seems to do the job (or I thought so), but it's still not working well.
Although I managed to configure both with the same name, it doesn't seem reliable and some devices (the iPhone 5, for example) are unable to connect and end up with a self-asigned IP address. I'm almost sure I'm doing something wrong on the setup, as I've seen a similar setup working before, so if anyone out there has any clue of what can be done, it will be much appreciated.
Attached the screenshots of both Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme configurations.
Thanks a lot,
-TM
AirPort Exteme:
Time Capsule:

Hello JuliaApple. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You have several ways to configure both base stations for what you are trying to do.
The simplest would be to configure the Time Capsule (TC) to "join" (AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Wireless tab > Wireless Mode = Join a wireless network) your existing 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). In this type of configuration the TC would perform as any other wireless client and not perform as a router. It will; however, still allow for both backups and sharing USB devices attached to it.

Can a time machine usb drive backup the data from an external usb drive connected to and airport extreme*

can a time machine usb drive conected to my mac book backup the data from an external usb drive connected to and airport extreme ?

Hi Adam, if you think yoiur HD may be failing you could do a TM restore onto the new disk. I would rather see you do a clone either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.Of your internal drive. That way you have a bootable backup in case it does fail.
btw - what are the symptoms of your failing drive?

Xbox 360 and Linksys E3000

Hello,
I'm having quite some trouble with the new E3000 and my Xbox 360 Slim Model. I thought that the E3000 had like 4 antennas which should broaden the SSID Broadcast/Wifi Signal. Now when I try to scan for wireless networks on my Xbox360 it can't find the signal the E3000 is broadcasting. The E3000 is on the bottom floor and the 360 is on the first floor. Before this I had a WRT54G Linksys router and that one had no problem getting signal to the Xbox360. The E3000 shouldn't have this problem right, because it has more antennas. Another weird thing is that my laptop, which almost sits next to my 360, has no trouble at all finding the SSID/WiFi broadcast...
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I just want to connect my E3000 to my Xbox 360.
PS: I have upgraded to the latest firmware.

Xbox 360 and Linksys E3000Bad news guys. Whatever you were told about the xbox 360 being compatible with wireless n at 5GHz was probably misleading. Please work through the following link: Work your way through this:- http://www.unofficialguidetolive.co.uk/faqs/114-troubleshooting-and-improving-wireless
Pay attention to the following, and I quote from the above link:
"...The Internal Wireless N Adapter for the Xbox 360 S 250GB
As well as all of the points above to consider you also need to be aware that some Wireless N routers can work at 2.4GHz and 5GHz or both. <<<<The new internal Wireless N adapter will only work at 2.4Ghz>>>> so ensure you have this enabled. It has also been found that in some cases it does not work with WEP and prefers WPA2-PSK (sometimes called Personal) with AES encryption (not TKIP) so in summary for the internal wireless adapter these configureations seem to work best-"
We could have saved everyone a lot of time if the XBOX 360 support would have just admitted this from the start. NO 5GHZ compatibility from XBOX Wireless N adapter.
If there is a way to upgrade the wireless N adapter in the XBOX please post for the rest of us.

Xbox 360 and WRT300N

Hi,
I have an xbox 360 and a wireless router (WRT300N). My xbox 360 can connect to the router wirelessly and i get a great signal, but when i try to play online, for example, halo 3 slayer games, my game turns all glitchy and disorted. My character gliches through walls and my game freezes when I die. I have tried with other routers at friend'shouses and the games work perfectly, so i know it is my router (WRT300N) and not my xbox 360. What can I do to fix this?

1st, open up the router user interface. To do this, open up a web browser and on the address bar type the numbers 192.168.1.1 (username just leave it blank, password as a default is admin).
Then go to the Applications and Gaming Subtab. Input the following values:
Application: XBOX
Start: 3074
End: 3074
Protocol: Both
IP Address: 192.168.1.5
- Save Settings
2nd, assign a MANUAL IP Address value to your XBOX:
IP: 192.168.1.5
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Then save the settings and go ahead , have fun.

Xbox 360 and nas storage for streaming media

Hi there,
I have an xbox 360 and watch movies on it through my network that are stored on my home PC, this means that I have to have my home PC on whenever I want to watch a movie. What I would like to do is have a NAS storage device that I can store all my movies on that is on the same notwork so that I can then watch the movies on my xbox without the need for the PC being on. Obviously I would want the NAS to be seen by the computer's I have on my network also.
I way thinking about getting this item Western Digital - My Book Live 1TB External Home Network Drive - Black but am not sure if the xbox will see it? or is there a better solution for around the same price which is expandable?
Thanks.

You'd have to get a real home or business NAS product to stream to the 360 and those are not in the same price range as the product you are looking at.

Macbook pro and airport extreme don't work

A friend (and all those tv commercials) say everything just works with Macs. Well, not exactly. New Macbook Pro and Airport Extreme can't connect me to the internet. I still have PC connected via ethernet cable to my cable modem and router which is in the basement where the cable enters the house. I've tried the different options in Airport Extreme setup and nothing works. It doesn't help Apple assumes I know everything about DHP PPPOE NAT or whatever all those silly things are.
Can anyone explain in +very simple+ terms how I get this expensive piece of aluminum connected to the internet?
Thanks.

Hello sofarapplesux. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I assume that you will continue to use the modem and router in the basement to get your Internet access ... correct? What is the make/model of this router?
If that's the case, I will also assume that you have the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) connected by Ethernet to this router ... correct?
So your overall network configuration should look something like the following:
Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > \[Internet port] router \[LAN port] > (Ethernet cable) > \[WAN port] AEBSn ... close?
