Xbox 360 with a wireless a router.

I am not getting a good connection through my wrt54g router with my xbox 360 and I am wondering if a WRT54AG router would do the trick.  I know it would probably do better with the windows xp 2005 media center.  Any suggestions?

My firmware was already updated to 1.02.0 and I tried tweaking to those numbers but still no difference  , could it be I need an A+G router? I don't know what else to do, it works fine when the 360 is connected to just my modem, I get a great connection then, but with my router I get disconnected from xbox live after a few minutes.  Is there anything else I can do?  thanks for your help.

  • Xbox 360 and my Wireless N setup.

    I am currently using WRT350N (the storage version of the 300N) and a WUSB300N for my for my laptop using wireless N. They all work pretty well together. I recently got an xbox360 and I am looking to get it connected to the internet and I have a few options for that. I'd like to get some questions answered before I actually choose an option.
    1. One option is to get the default Xbox360 Wireless USB adapter is a bit expensive and is a G only adapter, I assume I would have to switch all my other devices to G to get this to work correct? It would be nice to keep using N and not have to flip settings when ever I switch from laptop to 360.
    2. Another option is to get a WAP4400N wireless access point. This is about $150 but is more versatile. Could I hook this directly to my 360 and use it to connect to my WRT350N with out any issues?
    3. Lastly an option is to forget all this and just deal with having to run a 50' cable when ever I want to connect to xbox live for $5.

    Same here, I recently got a WRT300N router. I got the 802.11n wireless adapter for my PC and I have an xbox 360 with the standard xbox 360 wireless adapter by microsoft.
    I setup my network. When I double click My Network Places I can see all the devices on my network. I can see my xbox, my router, and my computer. I have my firewall completely disabled. I have enabled full sharing of all my media to my xbox. My xbox is able to connect to the router and I am able to log into xbox live too. Everything appears to be working both my PC and Xbox connected to the router just fine. My computer can see my xbox.
    I'm running Vista Ultimate and when I try to add my xbox as a media center extender, WMC cannot find my xbox. I enter the 8 digit code but when I try to connect Windows Media Center cannot for some reason see my xbox or find it. Likewize with the xbox. It cannot find a computer running the WMC server.
    Now here's the wierd part. I hook up a hard wired connection from my PC to my router (not my xbox, my router, my xbox is still communicating wirelessly). All of the sudden a notice pops up in my icon tray saying that windows has detected a media center extender and asks me if I want to setup up with WMC. So now I repeate the same process and try to add the xbox again inside WMC. It works perfectly. I am able to run media center and stream TV, etc.
    Now that it's all setup, I removed the wired connection and WMC can no longer see my xbox. I think it has something to do with the fact that xbox is wireless g and the router and PC are communicating with wireless n. However it doesn't make sense because the xbox communicates through the router anyway and the router is backwards compatible with g so can anyone help with this problem?
    Thanks

  • E3000 and Xbox 360 5Ghz and Wireless N issue

    Hello everyone,
    Bought the E3000 a couple of weeks ago, and I'm pretty pleased thus far. I do have one issue with it though, my Xbox 360 has a wireless N adapter and should support wireless N and 5Ghz dual band, but it does not see this network. It only spots the 2,4ghz one. Have the latest firmware installed, but it didn't seem to fix the problem. I just read that this router could have some issues with this.
    Once it connects to the 2,4 Ghz network though, it says it's connected by using wireless G.
    Anyone got a solution for this?
    Thanks!

    The problem is your router, cisco needs to update the fimware to be compatible. There is nothing you can do to get it to work, except to switch the router out with a different name brand and it will work. This is a problem with their biggest flag ship router Cisco E4200 as well. You will not be able to connect to 5Ghz N nor 2.4Ghz N, only can connect to 2.4Ghz  G or 5 Ghz A with or without security This has been going on for awhile with cisco. 

  • Xbox 360 issues using Wireless Airport Extreme

    This has been driving me crazy I don't know what to do...
    I had an Airport Extreme for a few years, worked fantastic and was able to connect wirelessly with my Xbox 360 with no problems.
    For the holidays I went to visit my family and took the Airport Extreme with me so I could have wireless internet setup. The family bought a brand new Airport Extreme while i was there but because my old one was already setup we decided that I would just take the new one back home with me.
    So i got home, set it up, and now I have Xbox live problems...
    The xbox still connects, that's not the problem (although I do get kicked off a lot)... The problem is that none of the marketplace/online content shows up. I figured this was a Microsoft problem so I was on the phone with them last night trying everything they could think of. Once we had exhausted all their ideas, they concluded it was the Airport's fault and told me to contact Apple.
    Microsoft said I had to open some ports, but I honestly feel they are mistaken here. If I can already CONNECT, and once in about 100 times, the marketplace content WILL show up for a second, then how could it be a port issue?
    I have Hard Reset the Airport Extreme and reconfigured it. I also re-installed the airport software because it said my software was still for the old Airport and that it might cause issues.
    Nothing has helped. Microsoft told me to delete my media update on my xbox, and now I can't even watch movies because I have to re-download the update, which I CAN'T DO!

    Do you recall if you received a double NAT warning when you configured the new AirPort Extreme (AEBS)?

  • Free Xbox 360 with $700 or up Windows Laptop

    I have gotten the coupon using my .edu email for the free Xbox 360 with a laptop purchase of $699 or higher from College Student Deals
    but have seen that it says I need a valid student ID to get the deal. I have just graduated from high school and have not gone to orientation yet so I do not have a student ID from college yet. I have a high school student ID still. Does anybody know if they really check for IDs or if a high school ID would work? If not, there are other online places I can get the PC and get the laptop using only my .edu email, such as the Microsoft Store, HPDirect.com, NewEgg, and Dell.com and I will get a computer from one of those sources. I only wanted to get my laptop at BestBuy because I can g check out the laptop before I purchase it plus I hate waiting for shipping. I get impatient when having to wait for items ordered. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    As long as you have an acceptance letter and your .edu address.

  • Can I use xbox 360 with thunderbolt display

    I had this same problem, I had to enable three things. enable UPnP, enable Allow users to make congiguration changes, enable Allow users to disable internet access.

  • Trouble connecting xbox 360 to e2000 wirelessly

    I have an original Xbox 360 (wifi not built in) and the external wifi adapter.  With all previous Cisco routers, I have been able to connect my Xbox successfully and quickly.  Now, however, I am experiencing much difficulty.
    I have verified I am using the latest firmware for my router, and configured my router like this: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=082ee344b4754044b1ff95fcd78b5305_4576.xml&pid=80&r... in terms of ports.  I have also used the Xbox's MAC address to give a static IP address via my router's DNS.  
    The Xbox can see both my main wireless SSID and my guest SSID but cannot connect to either.

    Hi Gammit, lower security to WPA2/WPA Mixed Personal. Set channel to 3,6, or 9 . Make sure firmware is up to date.

  • XBOX 360 with Apple Airport Express/AIrport Extreme?

    Well im about to buy an apple airport extreme wireless router for my house. The router is going to be located on the second floor with my cable modem. Planning to put my airport express in my room on the third floor.
    So i am just wondering if you can directly plug in the xbox 360 ethernet cable to the airport express for xbox live.

    ...I will get a better connection using the Xbox wireless adapter and my Airport Extreme Base Station, than I do by connecting the Xbox via Ethernet to an Airport Express that is wirelessly connected to my AEBS?
    Yes
    If I get the xbox wireless adapter, do I still need to configure my AEBS as WDS...
    No
    ...and could I get my old network communication speed back?
    Yes

  • 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 - Playing music wirelessly?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to use both the wifi in my iphone 4 and the xbox 360 to play music from my phone wirelessly?
    Thanks.

    My approach to having iTunes via my stereo has been this. My TV is hooked up to my stereo, as is my AppleTV. I use homesharing to send my iTunes thru the ATV and thus the stereo. I happen to use an Airport Extreme (the Time Capsule version) but any wireless router (obviously get an "h" speed router) would work.
    As far as your 256 vs Lossless format, yes there is a difference, but the question is will you hear it? I'd advise you to play a song straight from the cd and switch back and forth with the iTunes 256 (standard compression) version. If you really don't hear a difference then it isn't worth it to re-rip all those songs.
    What I've done in considering this question is to rip a few cd's which I tend to really love listening very closely to, using the lossless format, and the rest at standard, which is still very good. (And I'm a recording musician who pays attention to such things.)

  • Xbox 360 can't even detect router in the house at all now???

It can't detect a network,it doesn't even give me a wireless option to connect to on my 360,I ran the Linksys Easylink Advisor,it shows my 360 on there but it isn't lit up like it use to be. I called Linksys they can't even get it back online......I don't know what else to do to make it detect my 360,when they fixed my internet they bridged my router,don't know if that has anything to do with it or not.
    My Linksys Wireless Router Model # is WRT54GS

  • WRT54G Can't play on xbox live and connect wirelessly to router or internet from comp at same time

    Hi guys.
    I have a WRT54G and since I have had it I havent been able to connect wirelessly to see my router or get online form my comp while my xbox 360 is on xbox live. My other computer though, which is wired, can connect online anytime wether the xbox 360 is on line or not. Any help would be nice.

    I have a similar problem to this. I do some online gaming, and while my roommates are playing XBOX live (which is a lot now that halo 3 came out) I cant even connect, and if i do connect i get such a high latency it is unplayable. I would also greatly appreciate any help on this issue.

  • 22" ADC to an Xbox 360 with HDMI output?

    I have a 22" ADC Cinema Display, along with an Apple DVI->ADC adapter. Would I be able to connect my LCD to an Xbox 360 through HDMI to DVI (via an adapter)->DVI to ADC? The native resolution of my monitor is 1600x1024.
    If so, what would be the necessary steps/equipment/settings?
    I know there are HD scalers available through Gefen, but I would prefer to avoid this route if possible, as they are expensive.
