Xbox 360 & WRT300N config (at least for wired)

This is what I got from Linksys support - and it works great.  Now if only my connection to my house was a T3...
Please reply with any enhancements to this if you know of any!
(and with this setup (port forwarding), will the linksys prioritizer (part number OGV200) provide any more benefit?
1. Assign static IP, subnet mask, gateway and DNS on the Xbox 360.
a) Go to the System area of the Xbox Dashboard.
b) Select Network Settings.
c) Select Edit Settings to adjust your:
IP Settings (IP Address = 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway = 192.168.1.1)
DNS Settings (Primary = 4.2.2.1, Secondary = 4.2.2.2)
2. Port forwarding
88 (udp)
3074 (tcp & udp)
a) Access the router's web-based setup page and click on Applications and Gaming tab.
b) Under Port Range Forwarding sub tab, we will enter two entries for us to forward the two ports.
First Entry
Name = Xboxa
Start = 88
End = 88
Protocol = UDP
IP Address = 192.168.1.20
Enabled = Checked
Second Entry
Name = Xboxb
Start = 3074
End = 3074
Protocol = Both
IP Address = 192.168.1.20
Enabled = Checked
c) Save the settings.
3. Still on the router's web-based setup page, click on Setup tab.
a) Set MTU from Auto to Manual.
b) Change the MTU size from 1500 (default) to 1365.
c) Scroll down and save the settings.
4. Power cycle. Unplug the power adapter of the router for 10 seconds and plug it back again.
5. On your Xbox 360:
a) Go back to the System area of the Xbox Dashboard.
b) Select Network Settings.
c) Select Test Xbox Live Connection.
d) After the system has completed its tests, select More Info to learn more about your network, paying close attention to any test that failed.

Just another nudge - in case there is an answer (or opinion) out there!
After performing the router configuration below, is there any benefit to buying/using the OVG200 prioritization hardware?  (or are there settings on the router that basically do the same thing?
Thanks again!

  • WRT310N gives my wireless Xbox 360 terrible connection when PC is wired

    When my wired PC is linked to my WRT310N, my wireless Xbox 360 has a terrible connection and is repeatedly disconnected. When my PC is not hooked up, my Xbox 360 gets a perfect connection, just like it's wired. I've had this router for around a year and just ran into this problem 4 days ago. Discovered the problem an hour ago.

    If the above settings didn't made much difference to the connection on your XBOX, then i think you need to upgrade the firmware of your Router.
    Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in search tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop...
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

  • Xbox 360 will not connect to WRT54G Wired connection

    OK I just bought a xbox 360 and the Linksys wrt54g router I updated the firmware on the router and have 2 pcs currently connected and working great i also have a wii connected wirelessly and it works great.
    I connected the xbox 360 to the router and it doesnt even detect that its connected. Ive tested the cables tried 4 different ones and nothing i unhooked the router and just ran the xbox 360 to the cable modem and it worked fine so i know its not the xbox or the cables its the router thats giving me probs. i called linksys was on the line with them for 2 hours and they couldnt tell me nothing. Ive read that ppl have this router and there xboxs work fine
    on microsofts site this router is listed as compatible. im lossing my patience and getting very mad about this.
    no lights come on the router and the xboxs say the cable is not connected when running to the router but when connected direct to the cable modem works fine.
    can someone please help or shed some light on this i would be greatful
    thank

    I amp having the same problem. I tried what you had said about using the xbox settings but no luck. I found a link that told me to open these ports:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/mediacenter/firewall.mspx#EMG
    It says Inbound and outbound, but I have no idea what that means.  I basically went to Port Range Forwading (I have the BEFSX41 wired router by the way.). It would only allow me to put in 10 .  Also there is no incoming and outgoing!!?? So if there was just 1 number for the port I put that number in both Start and end, and if it had 2 number I put the 1st one as start and the second one as end.
    Can anyone help me. This is redamndiculous that a person has to go through this much trouble to hook up an xbox 360.
    Also I have a SD216 switch. I don't know if that matters at all.

  • How to open the proper port for your xbox 360 on a NVG589 router for optimal online gaming

    This took me a while to figure out on my own, so hopefully this will save someone else the trouble. My Xbox 360 said my setting were moderate.  Step 1: In your internet browser, type this http://192.168.1.254 into your address bar Step 2: Click on the tab at the top that says Firewall  Step 3: Click on the sub tab that says NAT/Gaming Step 4: In the drop down box located under the heading "Application Hosting Entry" Scroll down the option that says "XBox Live 360" and select it Step 5: In the second drop down box under the same heading find your Xbox 360's ip address and select it. If you don't know you Xbox's ip address it can be found on your console Network settings, select your connection, then select configure network, under basic setting will your ip address, remember that,  Step 6: Click Add  Step 7: Restart Xbox, everything should be running smoothly online Step 8: Profit!

  • BT Home Hub connection issue on XBOX 360

    I have just upgraded from a BT Home Hub 3, to the BT Home Hub 4, before the upgrade I ran Sky TV wired, and 3PCs wifi, my Ipad and my Iphone. I also ran my XBOX 360 wifi, and a PS3 wifi, all worked no problem.
    Now I am on BT Home Hub 4, all my connections are the same all working well apart from the XBOX 360.
    I have tried doing the fix on the BT site logging into the Hub changed the SIDD and set the other bit to NO. this did not work.
    I then reset the XBOX to factory settings as this was in another fix, I then reset the XBOX to the Hub 4, logged on to call of duty ghosts got half way through a game it crashed out saying no conection reset to test conection.
    The Hub will conect to my XBOX 360 but only stay conected for up to 14 mins at most.
    Do I need to go back to my BT Home Hub 3, Can any body help its starting to be a pain. As one good person said use a wired conection that would be good, but due to location would be hard. I did think upgrading was ment to make things better not harder. Please Help.

    To add, I had on online chat with BT, they said that no problems exist about XBOX 360  and the BT Home Hub to do with wifi.
    If this is the case why have a fix on the BT site, that does not work may I add well not on my XBOX.
    I found BT online chat not much help in this case.
    Please advise and help

  • Xbox 360 controllers : gamepad plugged but still "no devices found" ?

    You have a Mac running on Lion or Mountain Lion, you have download the app http://files.tattiebogle.net/360/360ControllerInstall.dmg from :
    http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver
    You have done everything right but when you plug your gamepad (official microsoft Xbox 360 controller only, I used a wired gamepad so, I don't assure you it will work with wireless), there are still "no devices found" ?
    Fortunately for you, I have finaly found a way to make it work, without buying anything else.
    First, go see the following MacRumors topic :
         http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1327396
    Follow the instructions (and when I mean follow, I mean follow exactly !)
    At the 9th step, you have to enter the information about your device to make your computer recognize the information (I say it the simpler way)
    Each paragraph correspond to a specific kind of device. For example :
    Feedback360.plugin</string>
                                                                          </dict>
                                                                          <key>IOClass</key>

    Correspond to the "BigBenController" device infomation with the product and vendor ID.
    After the 10th step, copy the previously bigbencontroller paragraph, paste it between two devices (exactly like the others) and change that :

    Finish the instructions and, if everything's right, it should work

  • Xbox 360 not recognizing playlists on ipod - naming ipod "audiobooks"

    All of a sudden XBox 360 is recognizing my ipod as "audiobooks" (when connected directy thru USB). It used to say "Tom's ipod". The bigger issue is that I can no longer access my playlists in my ipod when playing it through the 360. I am using the Elite and a ipod photo. I am not sure what happened. Anyone have any ideas on wht I can do?
    Some others on an Xbox support thread theorize that it might be the last itunes update.
    http://xbox360forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42460

    I have the same problem. It happened not too long when I updated iTunes to version 7.3 I think. I now have version 7.5 and still not working. I thought it was my older Ipod, but my new 2007 Ipod Classic 80 GB does the same thing. Xbox 360 doesn't recognize the playlists on my new Ipod. This *****. Please Apple fix this immediately, I don't want to buy a Zune to hear music on my home theatre system. I use the xbox 360 as a media hub for video and audio. Many xbox 360 owners have ipods and use it for the same purpose.

  • 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)?

  • Looking for descent, affordable wired router so I can hook up XBox 360-iMac

    I just got an XBox 360, and I'd like to use the XBox Live features. Could anyone suggest a dependable, wired router that wouldn't cost much more than fifty dollars? I really have no need to go wireless, and besides I'd have to buy the wireless adaptor for the XBox 360 if I did. There's also usually at least one or two Bit Torrents running on my G5 iMac.
    More importantly, I'd like to know if having the XBox Live online would interfere with the bit torrents running on the iMac, and should I expect to see a major decrease in upload/download speed on running torrents?
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Visit DealMac and see what router deal they have located. Typically in the Sunday paper you can find several for $20 or less after rebate.

  • 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.

  • WRT300N support for multiple XBOX 360's

    Hi! I need to go pre-N for greater wireless speeds, and went for the Belkin Pre-N v2000; however it's uPNP implementation isn't that great, meaning I need to rely on DMZ to allow my XBOX 360 to work on LIVE.
    What I would like to know is does the WRT300N support mutlple simulatneous XBOX 360's, all connecting to Live (I think the max is 4)? Since Linksys have some certified routers, I'm hoping it will but I don't want to make the same mistake again!
    regards
    Tim

    yes, i think it does...
    use port triggering instead to open the ports for the Live instead of forwarding or DMZ....

  • Wired xbox 360 controller used for PC

    I have tried literally everything I can think of, I searched it, and a resounding solution were these steps:
    1) Download the drivers from "Can't post links yet"
    2) Choose Gaming > Xbox 360 Controller for Windows > Windows 7 64 bit > English.Don't run the drivers.  Save them to a folder. (Or Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows depending on your controller)
    3) Right click the Xbox360_64Eng file in the folder you downloaded to and click "create shortcut"
    4) Right click the shortcut you created. Select properties. 
    5) On the compatibility tab in properties, click "Run this program in compatibility mode" ChooseWindows Server 2008 Service Pack 1 as the compatibility mode. Apply setting and click ok.
    6) Right Click on the shortcut and select "Run as administrator"
    7) With your controller plugged in go to Device Manager.  You should see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class. It located under Mice and other pointing if you do, you have arrived. If you don't, try this.
         Continue only if you don't see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class in Device Manager
    8) Right click the unknown device that shows a problem.
    9) Update Driver Software > Browse My computer for Driver Software > Let Me Pick from a List of Drivers
    10) Choose Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class > XBOX 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows
    I have tried the steps in order countless times. tried many different compatability modes, and to no avail am I able to get the "Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class" to show up. so I continue through the next 3 steps (8-10) and
    the option listed in step 10 is not available. and I have been trying to fix this since 7:00 AM this morning.....

    Hi,
    Are we download the driver from the following link?
