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.

  • Xbox 360 and wrt54gs 7.2 problem

    i read the faqs and serached the forums i did not find an answer to what i am looking for i have a xbox 360 and i can not connect it to my computer for media center and it can not connect to xbox live i can use the xbox 360 connect directly to my cable modem and it connects to xbox live just fine so the problem must be the router. will some one please help me!

    Connect your computer straight to the modem and download the firmware file for your router from www.linksys.com/download After downloading the firmware connect your modem to the Internet port on the router and connect your computer to port1 on the router...
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.Then, unplug the power keep holding down the reset button for another 30 Seconds.Plug the power back in, and keep holding down the reset button for 30 Seconds.Release the reset button.
    Open the Internet Explorer and type 192.168.1.1 in the Address Bar and press enter. When it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field empty and provide password as admin all in lower cases and then click on ok. Now click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' to select the extracted/uncompressed .img or .bin file and click on "Upgrade"...After doing the firmware upgrade you have to reset this router again for 30 seconds.
    Re-configure your router... forward the port nos on to your pc for the assinged ip address & reduce the MTU size to 1365 & you will be able to play the games wired as well as wireless.

  • Xbox 360 with wrt54gs V2 connection problems

    Been trying to set this up for a wired connection and getting nowhere. Firmware version is 4.71.1. Reason I have the higher firmware is for the WPA security which I don't think the xbox supported firmware version provides. BTW, have four computers, two wired, two wireless, connecting through the router. If I connect the xbox directly to the DSL modem I get connected and sometimes (and I mean sometimes) get an IP but always fail on the DNS. ISP is verizon. Verizon says to call Xbox, Xbox gave up after their flow charts ran out of options. If I hook the cable through the router I get no connection and the connection light on the router blinks on and off very slowly. I've tried every setting in the book and cant get a connection. My thought is by going through the router the connections for the xbox can be negotiated by the router instead of the ISP, plus other systems can also connect. Any thoughts on what could be preventing the connection? Would a new router solve the problem? It is four or five years old, has never been a problem, but could it possibly be too old for an xbox 360? Any suggestions on a model that would work in this configuration? Thanks

    Lowered the MTU to 1498 and didn't make a difference, at least not yet. What I have noticed on the router is the connection light for the xbox is in a very slow, cyclical on / off rotation. Where all of the other lights for connected systems are rapidly moving this one is not.

  • Connecting XBOX 360 to WRT54G wireless network

    I have a Linksys Wireless Router (WRT 54G)  and I have set up a wirless network with my xbox 360. (sucessfully connected to Live).
    I have windows XP and latest Zune software installed and thought it would be easy to connect my XBOX to my Zune. 5 days later (and one hour wasted with tech support) and I am still stuck.
    I have enabled sharing in the zune software and it does indeed recognize that a 360 is available. But when I try to connect the 360 it cannot find the PC.
    I have closed Zone alarm and windows firewall is not running.
    What do I need to tell the linksys router to enable the XBOX to see my PC?
    The XBOX help says the following need to be enabled?
    Port Name Protocol Scope 2869 UPnP Framework TCP My network (subnet) only 1900 UPnP Framework UDP My network (subnet) only 10284 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10283 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10282 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10281 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10280 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10243 Windows Media Connect TCP My network (subnet) only
    The xbox help tells me I need to enable ports??? If I do this then I am only able to enter the 4th number ie AAA.BBB.CCC.DD       What should I enter for DD, 1? Will this fix it? 
    Please help and put me out of my misery.

    well...you need to assign a static ip add on the x-box ( 192.168.1.10 ) . Also , assign static DNS addresses ( from the router's status page )

  • Xbox 360 and WRT54G v8 SBC Ameritech

    I have done extensive searching on this forum and many others to no avail. I cannot get my xbox 360 to find an IP address. I have the router setup and can get internet from all of my PC's and Mac's through it. I am wondering if the problem is the modem from SBC - it is an Efficient Speedstream 5260 and if I hook the Xbox 360 directly to it with the PPoE settings typed in, it still will not find an IP. Thought that going through the router might solve that. Weirdest thing is the first couple tests I did through the Xbox dashboard passed every test, but still could not connect to Live, and now it will not go farther than the failed IP test. Problem is that where I am I cannot upgrade my modem because I cannot risk all the problems I had getting this 5260 to work. By day it is my work internet, and I can't afford to be down even for a day. So I am hoping there is a fix for the equipment I have.

    Hi,
    Try assigning a static IP address on XBOX as following:
    IP:192.168.1.10
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    gateway:192.168.1.1
    Hope it works for you

  • XBox 360 and WRT54GS no one can fix this. Please help if you can?

    I'm totally out of ideas here and would appreciate it if someone could help me?  We have 2 XBox 360's both with the Microsoft XBox wireless adapters.  My son has had his since they first came out whatever year that was.  My youngest daughter got hers last October.  Both XBox's connect to XBox LIVE without a problem via a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router.  The problem we can't solve is - my oldest daughter and son-in-law live about a mile from us and they have an XBox 360. When we try to connect to their XBox (or anyone else that's local) to play against her and her husband, it won't connect and gives us a "Disconnected" prompt every time. They have no problem connecting to other XBox's locally but we, for some reason, can't.  I can connect our XBox directly into our cable modem bypassing the Linksys and it connects to them, so it isn't the cable modem.  I've changed settings on the router, internet, XBox with no luck.  I've updated the firmware.  I've read thru posts on the internet for weeks and now my brain is mush.  Is this fixable or do I need to buy a new wireless router?  Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with anything but we have 3 PC's and 3 DVR's also connected to the internet but are hard wired.  My kids and grandkids have DSi's, a Playststion3, and a Wii and those all connect via wireless and work great.  XBox has this WRT54GS listed as compatable.  I'm stumped.  I know there's some really sharp folks out there somewhere.......please help if you can?  Thanks for any help you could offer!

    Have you opened the ports on the router....?
    If not then,you need to open ports 53-3074 on the router..Read this link. Also,under the security tab on the router,uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...

  • Xbox 360 and WRT54GS Ver. 5

    Hello,
    I have the Router mentioned in the title and I have set up port forwarding for 88, 3074, 2074 in both UDP/TCP protocol. I have disabled UPnP and also done Port triggering for the aforementioned ports. I have set MTU to 1365 and I have also unchecked Block Anonymous Internet Requests. Yet I still get "Moderate" NAT settings from the "Test Xbox Live" test from the Xbox 360 dashboard. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    P.s. Also I have set a Static IP and all the necessary stuff on my 360.
    Thanks, Kenter

    Alright so I connected my 360 to the modem, everything passed and NAT was open. I then port forwarded and not port triggered, reduced the MTU to 1300 to no avail the NAT was still moderate. I then had it reset to factory defaults and left DHCP on put my 360 to Auto. Then looked on on xbox.com for the ports I have to forward it also mentions 53 UDP,3330 UDP. I then entered those into my router and also set 88 UDP, 3074 Both, 2074 Both. Then I forwarded those to my 360 through its Auto IP. Did all that and "Open" but could not connect to anybody or join any game. I then turned off UpNP and now it says "Open" and I can join any game and connect to anyone. The only thing I don't get is DHCP what does and what it means? Do I have to forward the ports to a new IP every day?
    P.s. MTU is set to auto. Also sorry for any spelling errors I am getting tired.

  • Xbox 360 and WRT54G

    I think I've reached a solution to the issues that I've had w/my Xbox network settings and the console not finding an IP address via the WRT54G v.6. After hours and hours of trying all the suggestions that I've read on this forum I've decided to take the SOB back to the store and exchange it for another brand of wireless router. I think this router and its software are poor and is not complimented by the ability of the average layperson. Anyway, if any of you other poor users are doing a search on Xbox then I hope you read this first before you waste the amount of time I have.
    Good Luck.

    I didnt hve an issue with my WRT54G and my sons XBox.  Entered the security key in the xbox, clicked on connect and away he went.  But the difference might be is that I have a vesion 4.  Has been running for about 4 months now ever since I recieved the wireless xbox adapter.

  • Xbox 360 Wireless N Adapter Only Connects to 802.11G on WRT310N

    I recently purchased the Xbox 360 Wireless N Adapter. I plugged it into my Xbox (which is current on updates, including the adapter drivers), and am able to successfully connect to my WRT310Nv1 using the "Mixed" mode, but only at 802.11G, not 802.11N. If I force my router into "Wireless-N Only" mode, the Xbox is able to see the signal, but will not connect. The WRT310Nv1 has the most recent firmware (v1.0.09) installed, and I am using WPA2 Personal, AES encryption.
    I've scoured the internet and haven't been able to find a solution yet. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I have an Xbox 360 Slim with the built-in Wireless N and I have the EXACT same problem.  I also tried forcing my router into Wireless-N only mode and the Xbox will not connect.  It will only connect in "mixed" mode but at 802.11G.  This is very frustrating.
    If any one can help us out it would be much appreciated!!

  • XBOX 360 AND WRT54G PROBLEMS

    Hi, for some reason when i go online on the xbox360, i can only connect to a few of my friends. I get a mesage that says that my NAT is to moderate and I cannot join them at all. Can some one please tell me how do I change the whole NAT thing to OPEN and what would happen if I was to change it to open?

    Yes the stepwise setting on router are ....
    Open routers set up page using http://192.168.1.1 ..... you wil see username & password leave username blank & in password use admin ....
    1)  Under set up tab.... look for MTU .... by default it is under "auto" ....choose manual .... change the size to 1365 ....
    Click save settings ....
    2)   Click security tab .... uncheck Block Wan Anonymous Wan request .... click save settings ....
    3)   Click "Apllications & gaming tab" .... under Apllication name use any name .... under start  end port use numbers 88.... use Ip address assigned to X-BOX .... check enable ....
    4)   Under second row .....use any other Application name ..... under start & end port use 3074 .... use static Ip of the X-BOX ....check enable ....
    Click save settings ....
    Configure the X-BOX using the wireless settings on the router ....
    Also use the static Ip ...subnet mask ...default gateway & DNS numbers on the X-BOX .......
    Check the connection.....may be it work.....

  • 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

  • Trying to connect to xbox live using my home network, I need help.

    I have a xbox 360 that I want to connect to xbox live with, using my home network. Every time I try to connect to xbox live the only part that fails is the connecting to xbox live part. This is how my network is set up. I have Cox Cable as my ISP, a Linksys WCG200 gateway(v2), and WRT54GS(v7). The cable wire is connected to the WCG200 gateway, then an Ethernet cable connects the gateway to the WRT54GS router, and finally an Ethernet cable connects the router to my xbox 360. I have contacted Cox, Linksys, and Microsoft about the situation and they all say the problem is the version of the router. Someone told me that I may just need to change the firmware, but I don't know how to do that. If anyone could tell me what the problem is and hopefully how to fix it, it would be much appreciated.

    u might to open port numbers 88 and 234 on your router
    here's how to open ports

               USERNAME: ( leave it blank )
               PASSWORD: admin ( all in lowercases )
    2: click on the tab " applications and gaming "  then click on the SUBTAB port triggering.
    3: you can just name the application like, box or whatever and fill in 88 for each of the boxes in the first line
    4: same goes to application number 2 but you have to put 2304 for each of the boxes and pls do not forget to enable it, then save settings
    5: Teset the xbox if it's now working.
    6: if still not working, go to the SECURITY tab and uncheck the bock that says, " block anonymous internet requests and save settings.
    7: teset xboox agan and if it still won't work
    8: go to the SET UP tab and look for MTU.
    9: set it to manual and lower down the size by 10.( by default, it's 1500. )→ save settings.
              Hope it will help. goodluck!

  • Connecting XBOX 360 Wirelessly to WRT300N V1.1

    If you suffer from a slow connection when using your Xbox 360 usb wireless adapter and the wrt300n router, then fret no more! I called both xbox and linksys and below is what I came up with, which made my connection to Xbox Live work properly. This may even work with other routers as well  
    Setup for WRT300N V1.1 connected wirelessly to an XBOX 360 USB Wireless Adapter.
    Connection Type: High Speed Cable Internet.
    Select Setup
     Select Basic Setup
    Change the MTU setting to manual, edit size to be 1365.
    Save
    Select Security
    Deselect the “Filter Anonymous Internet Requests”
    Save
    Select Applications & Gaming
    Select PortRange Forwarding
    For the first port input the following:
    Start ~ EndPort: 88 to 88
    Protocol: UDP
    To IP Address: 100
    Check Enable
    Application Name: xbox1
    For the second port input the following:
    Start ~ EndPort: 3074 to 3074
    Protocol: Both
    To IP Address: 100
    Check Enable
    Application Name: xbox2
    Save
    Select Administration
    Disable Upnp
    Save
    This should allow for a smooth connection.

    Thank you for your reply.  However, there is still some confusion on my part.
    How does setting up a static IP on the PC help me connect to the Xbox 360 wirelessly?   Please explain.
    The static IP Doesn't help you connect wirelessly, it helps you set up port forwarding properly.   So that is step 1
    Step 2 would be for you connecting wirelessly, and I am pretty sure the actiontec is already security enabled, so if it is then you would look on the router itself for a silverish sticker that has an ESSID and a WEP KEY   When going through your xbox set up you will have a list of networks to choose from, make sure what you try to connect to matches the ESSID found physically on the router, and then it will ask you for a password or a network key and that is when you put in your WEP key.   That would get you on wirelessly.
    the static ip is exclusively for your port forwarding and should only really be used if once your connected to the xbox wirelessly - if it's still having trouble.   that would be when you would set up the port forwarding as I kinda described earlier.  so you put in your xbox the static ip address, and then your router will route traffic to and from it based on that ip.   mine didn't need the static ip it would connect wirelessly automatically or via dhcp, but when the network dragged or i got bad performance, that is when I went to port forwarding. 

  • Wrt54GS router and Wrt54GS wireless adapter on Xbox 360

    Totally new in the wireless router business, I bought the Wrt54GS router and the Wrt54GS adapter to connect my Xbox 360.
    I installed the router with the cd and connected my pc on the router with a fixed ethernet cable.
    So far everything working fine.
    Then connected the wireless adapter on the Xbox 360, but it seems like the Xbox 360 doesn't recognise the Wrt54GS adapter.
    What did i do wrong?
    Sebastian

    Do you have wireless PC's ? are they able to go online ?
    enable network security and also change the beacon to 50 and the RTS and fragmentation threshold by 40 each under the advanced wireless settings.

  • Xbox 360 connect problems with live

    hello everyone, i was hoping that you guys could help me like you have so many times before. well i have an xbox 360 and am trying to connect live through my mac. I have done everything correctly manually and everytime i test connection DNS Fails please someone help me.

    I never got it to work - I ended up hooking up a cheap netgear 802.11g router to the Airport router.
    Which was nice because it created 2 networks a high speed 802.11n and a slower 802.11g.
