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.

  • 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.

  • Extending network with Airport Express and Airport Extreme (latest models) causes chaos on network

    Today I upgraded from my several year old Airport Extreme (3rd gen) and 2nd gen Airport Express to a new (what you'd buy on the shelf today) Airport Extreme and Airport Express.  All airports are updated with the latest firmware and I'm using windows 7 for configuration.
    The intention is to use the Airport Extreme as the main router, also serving wifi. And extend the network using the express. As such, the following has been done:
    The Airport Extreme is configured for automatic channel, and automatic radio mode. I tried to select 802.11n 5 ghz and 802.11 n 2.4 ghz only, but it won't take the changes. Additionally, it wont' accept me using only channel 6. Not sure why, but I digress. The airport extreme is not set to broadcast a separate name for the 5ghz network.
    The Airport Express is configured to use bridge mode, use an existing wireless network and is connected to my network on it's WAN port (the circle icon on the back) with ethernet. The password and wireless name used in configuration is the same as created initially on the Airport Extreme.
    Initially I did the configuration of both airports on my computer, connected by ethernet to ensure stable connectivity while I inputted settings. During this, they appeared to accept the changes fine. However, when I moved the airport express to it's destination (other side of my house), the entire network went crazy.
    Internet became slow, and often wouldn't load pages. This was on wired and wireless connections. When I attempted to administer the Airport in the Utility, they would not load, an error would occur. Also, at one point the Airport Extreme had renamed it self with a (2) at the end. Which was super odd. So far, the only solution has been to unplug the Airport Express and attempt to devise a solution.
    Anyone have any ideas? Of course, I will continue to tinker with this, but it seems realllly strange. The previous setup was also extended (granted, using wireless only, not ethernet > wireless) and worked fine, granted it was a smidge slow, but it worked.

    I wanted to add this.. I followed the guide here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4260 to extend using ethernet, and the above is the result.
    I just tried re configuring in OS X Mavericks and got the same, odd, result.

  • 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.

  • Airport Extreme -- latest model ?

    What is the difference between Airport Extreme Model MD031HN/A and MD031LL/A ?
    Which is the latest version ? Will MD031HN/A have all the features of LL/A ?

    The country they were originally sold in. As the first five characters and the last one are the same, they are the same model.

  • 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.

  • Can't Setup WDS with Airport Extreme "N" and Airport Extreme "G" & Express

    Hi!
    I'm trying my best and have done this stuff with the last model Airport Extreme "G" models, but cannot get my new "N" model to setup WDS. I log in to the new Airport and start configuring, it gives me the option to setup WDS, but it doesn't detect the Airport Extreme "G" model nor the Airport Express I have. The only way I can get them to be recognized is to configure them all identically with the same network name, password, etc. and have each hard-wired into an ethernet plug. Sort of defeats the point of going wireless. In the new Airport Utility, how do I get it to recognize the remote base stations? In the old Tiger Airport Utility, it used to configure the other airports for you. The Leopard one doesn't seem to do that. Any help?
    Thanks in advance!
    Corey

    OK-so after more than a month of having to put up with my Airport Utility popping up whenever I started my computer or came home and joined the network, I finally had the time to sit on hold with Apple and work with a Network Specialist--had to get the ticket "Escalated" first. What the problem turned out being was I set up the Extreme "N" o use WEP (Transitional Security Network) because I occasionally have friends with older PCs coming by that need old WEP instead of WPA. The net specialist helped me walk through the whole setup (from scratch) with the Extreme "N" as my main base station (like I wanted) setup using WPA/WPA2 Personal for password encryption. The older Airport Extreme "G" and the Airport Express do NOT support the WEP (TSN) mode, so they couldn't join the network properly--thus the constant error from the Extreme "N" that no WDS base stations could be found.
    Hope this info helps people in the future! I haven't seen anything around that says Extreme "G" and Express don't support this newer Transitional mode. Even the ever-so-helpful Apple Tech didn't know why that new Transitional mode was invented.
    Thanks for the reply, dhanneman.

  • Problem with Airport extreme and Time machine

    I recently purchased a 320gig external hard drive for Time machine. I connected it to my Airport extreme but it is not being recognized for some unknown reason. If I directly connect it to my iMac it works perfectly. I've updated with the latest firmware and it should work via USB with Airport extreme. Any suggestions why it is not working?

    I have used the following for about two years.

    You probably know, that's "iffy" and +*not supported by Apple.+* See the Using Time Machine with a USB drive connected to an Airport Extreme *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    To get around this issue, I have switched off the Time Machine, and am only turning on once a week or so, to grab any changes or additions I've made. I've been doing this for about 6 months now with no problems.
    Now whenever I do this, (It should only be backing up an album or two from iTunes,) it tries to back up my whole system again. EVERY TIME. It did not do this before.
    If you go too long between backups, Time Machine will do a new, full backup. And once it decides to do that, it will keep trying until it succeeds. There are some other possibilities as well. See #D2 in the Using Time Machine with a USB drive connected to an Airport Extreme *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum.
    If none of those seem to explain it, see #A1 there; download the TM Buddy widget, copy and post the messages here.
    Why are you only backing-up once a week? Time Machine was designed to back up changes hourly, as long as your Mac is awake and the TC is in range. It will protect you best that way, and unless there's a problem, those backups will usually be very quick.
    But if you're only going to back up once a week or so, then Time Machine is not the best app for you. See Kappy's post on Basic Backup, complete with links to the web sites of each product.

  • Any current inkjet printers work with Airport Extreme 802.11g Basestation?

    Does anyone know if there are any printers out there currently being sold that actually work with Airport Extreme (802.11g)? Not the latest 802.11n basestation, but the UFO-shaped Extreme g basestation? I recently tried the HP DeskJet D4160 and it does not work at all with it, although my deprecated HP 940c works just fine. I need to replace the 940C, and I don't want to have to buy and return 20 different printers in order to find one that actually works... Any help is appreciated!

  • Bridge tplink archer c7 with airport extreme

    Hi,  I have a TP-Link Archer C7(V1)  and a Apple AirPort Extreme (latest 6th Gen).  My Apple Airport Extreme is my main router and i would like to use my Archer C7 to bridge with the Airport Extreme.  Are the two units compatible to create a wireless bridge?   If it is possible can anyone inform me the instructions as i cannot seem to get it working.
    Thank you.

    It is not possible.. there is no common standard.. WDS is a situation where each manufacturer did what was right in their own eyes.
    You can get it working using ethernet between the routers or using something to replace the ethernet like homeplug (eop adapters).
    Wireless.. nope.. won't work.

  • Have airport extreme, square model, have a external harddrive to use as back up(formated for mac)hooked it up to the usb port in back. can't find it on my computer. what am i doing wrong

    have the airport extreme, square model. have a external harddrive formated for mac hooked up to the usb port in back.
    i can't find the harddrive on the computer for back up in timemachine. what am i doing wrong?

    First, if you are not aware, you need to know that Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme.
    That may be part of the problem here, so if you want to continue to try this, you need to understand that there are no guarantees of success.
    Some users do seem to be able to make this work, but most have some problems and some....like me....have nothing but problems when they try this.
    If you want to continue to try this, the first thing to verify is that the drive is formatted specifically in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Have you verified that the drive is formatted correctly by connecting it directly to your Mac and using Disk Utility to check?
    Some drives that are advertised as being "compatible for Mac" are not formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Time Machine has no chance of success unless the drive is first formatted correctly.
    I would also ask that you consider leaving the drive connected to your Mac for Time Machine backups. That will be supported, and is a far more reliable way to keep backups if your data is important to you.
    Next, we need to know what operating system you are running on your Mac. If you do not know, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and then click About This Mac.  Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

  • 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.

  • Does AirPlay work with AirPort Extreme?

    Does AirPlay work with AirPort Extreme?

    The AirPort Extreme does allow AirPlay to "pass-through" but it does NOT support receiving AirPlay streams to be played back through powered speakers or an audio receiver as it does not have any built-in audio circuitry like the AirPort Express models.
