Xbox 360 WRT54G v2 problems

I have not had problems with my router until this past weeked. Ever since december 2006 my 360 has had an open NAT connection, but this past weekend it randomly switched to moderate. Is there any way i can fix this problem, because it is preventing me from playing with a handful of my friends.

1st, assign a STATIC or MANUAL IP address on your XBOX 360, suggested values are:
IP: 192.168.1.5
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
2nd, log-in to the router interface. To do that, open up IE and 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 tab.
For the Application name, input XBOX. Start and End Port Value is 3074. IP is 192.168.1.5. Then save the settings. That should hopefully fix your issue.

hi there. im fairly new to these forums, but have been using the linksys wrt54gs roiuter for a while without problems. untill recently that is. when i tried to connect my xbox 360 wirelessly to this router it would not work. i found a thread with a good tutorial on it by shadowzodeath but after following this through i still could not connect my xbox, and managed only to knock out the internet for the whole network. any suggestions as to what i might be able to do to fix this would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Airport extreme connecting with xbox 360 wireless adapter problems...help!!

Has anyone linked their xbox 360 wireless adapter to an Airport Extreme? I need help! Neither Apple nor Microsoft knew how to link the two devices. If anyone has successfully been able to make this work, your help will be much appreciated. Thanks guys

Yes - Mine works no problem. I have found that I have to unplug the Xbox360 wireless adaptor and plug it back in occasionally (if the green light is on everything is fine). Are you using the correct WPA Key?

PS3 and XBox 360 problems. NAT issue.

I don't know if anyone is having this issue. I own an XBox 360 and a PS3, both connected wirelessly to my WRT54GS router. If I play the XBox 360 (which requires an open NAT) it's fine. As soon as I download something (not play something) on my PS3, it turns the NAT into Moderate rather than Open. When I again turn on my XBox 360 I have problems with Live. So I must reset my router every time I download content on my PS3.
Does anyone know why this happens or how to keep it from happening again?
Thanks,
Ryan

check out the hardware version on the unit...and then go to www.linksys.com/download and look for the firmware of the appropriate version number of WRT54GS...
access the router interface using http://192.168.1.1 . Logon using the password "admin"..ensure that the router has the same firmware as available on the website...if not , upgrade it first..
after the firmware upgrade , reset the router and reconfigure ...
on the router ui , change the MTU settings to 1364 ...assign static ip add and dns on the x-box and PS3....the ip add should be out of the range of the router's DHCP ( i.e out of 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149 )
on the router ui , go to "Applications and gaming" tab and forward ports 88 and 3074 for the ip add of the x-box and 10070 - 10080 , 6000 - 6999 for the PS3..

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)?

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.

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 Problems with WRT54G

Like many people I'm getting NAT Moderate on my Xbox 360 which is wirelessly connecting to a WRT54G. I've done a lot of things but with no success, these include: Opening port 88 (UDP) and 3074 (TCP & UDP) Allowing annonymous internet requests Setting MTU to 1365 Giving my Xbox a static IP Following the advice of this page: http://live.tommccann.net/ All of this to no avail. Can anybody give me any more advice?

Where can I find this option? I looked at Wireless and the four tabs below that (Basic Wireless Settings, Wireless Security, Wireless MAC Filter and Advanced Wireless Settings) and can't see anything like that.

WRE54G + WRT54G + Xbox 360 Problems

I recently plugged my WRE54g back in to try and improve the signal strength in my basement, where my xbox 360 is (router is on 2nd floor). Got the extender working, all blue lights, signal seems to be stronger. However, the xbox fails the xbox live and media tests at the IP category, so something is wrong in the IP address area. I have tried changing the router's IP to match the extender's, resulting in problems on every computer in the house, so i set it back to 192.168.1.1. Then, I tried setting the extender's IP to 192.168.1.2 (after very much difficulty, the extender setup page freezes and says it lost connection whenever I make a change, still having the problem), yet my xbox still fails the test even though the extender IP is within the range of the router. I have no idea what to try now, I have tried googling every possible combination of words to try and find help, and have gotten nowhere. So if anyone could help, please, please, do so!

"Nothing but red light of death on the extender. Is it supposed to have the same SSID, channel # and security code as the router?"
answer: yes
heres something i found for you.I hear they haven't made any expanders for the N series yet. but follow this guide i found, and you might get it to work.
First of all the computer or laptop MUST be hardwired to the router.
Second, the WRE54G MUST also be hard wired to the router.
Then, reset the WRE54G by pressing the reset button for at least 30 seconds. (You probably get a blue and red steady light....that is fine). Hopefully, if all goes right, this will allow you to now communicate with the WRE54G. (Auto Configuration is not possible).
Now to test this: Go into your start menu and click on "Run" and type in the comannd "CMD"....This will give you a DOS prompt window. Now type in "Ping 192.168.1.240" (this is the preset IP Address of the WRE54G.) At this point you will get several lines of numbers and stuff...ignore everything except at the bottom where it say's "Packets: Sent = 4, Recieved = 4, Lost = 0 0% loss>. If this is the case then you are looking good!
Now, open a web browser and type in 192.168.1.240 and wait for the Linksys page to come up from your WRE54G.....when/if this does come up then you have won the battle!
Next, and this is also VERY IMPORTANT. In the configuration of your WRE54G the SSID MUST be the same as your router!!!! Otherwise they will not communicate with each other. Also the channels should be the same. Now click on "save setting", and it this time or shortly there after you should have 2 blue lights on your WRE54G. At this time you can unplug it and place it anywhere in your house!
Please note: at the time of all this configuration my security on my router was disabled and later also on my expander.

Step by step complete setup for WRT54G ver.6 with Laptop and XBOX 360

Hello. I am sorry to post this, I am sure it is a juevenile and redundent question...but I have tried to look for the set up cd (I can find where to download it...though I can find the firmware upgrade or whatever). My friend at work said it would do all the setup pretty much automatically for me.
I somewhat know computers, but you might go ahead and make your replies VERY lamen's terms or I might not be able to follow. Anyways, what I need, is a step by step/screen by screen directions for a secure network. I have made a partial attempt at setting it up and it technically works, but I would feel better if I did the steps a-z in order, so I know that it is done correctly. I also am not totally confident in its security as it is now. (Also, technically, I did not check the XBOX again after getting the new laptop, I am just assuming it is still working because it was before).
My problem is I can't seem to find very good directions for setting up the router...I only find partials or confusing directions.
So here are the things I am trying to connect:
Liksys WRT54G ver. 6
Gateway Laptop running Windows Vista
XBOX 360 - WIRED
(I had a PC and a laptop, but they both died at the same time and I have only been able to replace the laptop at this point...the PC will come later and not sure at this point if it will be Wired or not).
I have a cable Modem between the Router and the wall...I didn't look at that for brand/etc...but I can get it ASAP if needed.
Here are the settings that I have so far:
Changed the Router Name
Changed the SSID
Have DHCP set to 3 (XBOX, PC, Laptop)
Wireless SSID Broadcast: Disable
Username and Password changed to my own info
UPnP: Enable
I may have changed other things without knowing it. So like I said, a complete, step by step screen by screen set up would be totally appreciated. I haven't done anything in the security tab, all that is totally foreign to me, so I am just not broadcasting for now until I can get some help setting things up with you guys.
And if someone is familiar with the Laptop/XBOX 360 setup, and I need to change any of the settings on the XBOX itself, could you please include that in your directions? I know that isn't technically what THIS forum is for, but it would sure be helpful to me if you happen to know both parts anyways.
Thanks a lot (in advance)!

So all you just need to do is, secure your Wireless Network. Follow the setps bellow and change the settings on your Router.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

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...

WRT54GS NAT Settings Concerning Xbox 360 Setup

My xbox 360 is connected to a Dell Inspiron B130 notebook via an Ethernet cable. The notebook is then connected wirelessly to a Linksys WRT54GS router. The router, finally, is connected to a Sprint DSL modem. My problem is that with this setup, whenever I try to play online on my 360, it tells me that my "NAT settings" are set to "Strict", and that they should be set to "Open". Could someone please tell me how to fix this problem, providing step-by-step instructions? Thanks!

Do have the proper ports forwarded in your router?? Be my only guess......or check ebay for an xbox360 wireless adaptor.

Problem "trying" to play with other people on Xbox 360 Live

I am using a WRT54G v. 5 router with the latest firmware. I have not been able to play with any player online on any game for around a week now, no matter what I do, but I can download demos, and stuff. I also can't view any players whatsoever via the Players tab in the Xbox 360 guide button thing, so there is definately something wrong with my router. Any suggestions?

Something also I should mention is that I've called the xbox 4-800 live xbox thing or whatever, and they said it was my router too.
I've also tried DMZ but it still didn't work out, as for the Port forwarding, I couldn't find anything that would let me give my Xbox 360 an ip address, so I just used the one on my client table.
Beforethen, I was also using DI-604 router too, but that didn't work out either, even though I was able to assign it to 192.168.1.1, but I read somewhere on here you aren't supposed to do that. I haven't tried it out fully with my WRT54G v 5 though since I can't give my Xbox 360 a static ip address like I could easily in my DI-604 router.
And anyway, i'm still stuck and unable to play with anybody on Live thanks to my router(WRT54G v. 5), so if can anybody see this and give out suggestions, or see what my problem is?

WRT54G, Windows 7 Home Premium & XBox 360: anyone able to stream media?

I had no problem previously on XP streaming media from my PC to an XBox 360. However, with Windows 7, i find that even though the network map on PC shows the XBox 360, the PC only occasionally shows up as accessible on my XBox 360 - and as soon as I try to browse to media, I lose the connection.
Has anyone else had luck with te above combination?
Thanks,
P.

Honestly, I've gone through every possible troubleshooting guide in the last 6 months. The symptoms are entirely random; sometimes I can connect to the PC, sometimes I can't, sometimes the XBox cannot see the PC at all.
I have a feeling that the WRT54g (7.2.0.1) is simply not compatiblw with XBox 360 and with Windows 7 Home Premium, and I've been unable to find anyone else who actually uses this combination.
If anyone else is using this combination, please let me know.

WRT54GS Wont support Two XBOX 360s online at the same time

Just bought new Linksys WRT54GS to support two XBOX 360s live simultaneously. Can't log both on at same time. It kicks first 360 off when second one tries to log on. How can I fix this and have both NAT types open?

I'm having the same issue. I have comcast as ISP, Linksys modem BEFCMU10 V3, going to a Linksys router WRT54GS V4, two desk tops hardwired to the router, TiVo with a wireless and two Xbox 360s with Xbox wireless adaptors. Each Xbox 360 has a different Live account, one has mine the other has my daughters. Either by itself goes live just fine but as soon as the second unit is brought on the first kicked off. If left on they will take turns dropping off from Xbox Live. One night we alternately texted/chatted from both of our Xboxs to the same third party. When he had signed off for the night and showed be "offline" on my unit my daughters unit still showed him "online" until we shut her Xbox off. In addition the NAT always seems to change. Some times its open, others it's medium or strict. This seems to be related to having one or both Xboxs on. I found an article on segmenting your network by using two wireless routers and running the Xboxes through the router closest to the modem and everything else through the second down line router. I haven't tried it yet. Anything I'm missing? Something else I should try? I've talked to the Geeks and some tell you can't so it and others tell me sure it will but they want $$. I've talked to other gamers that tell they've had two Xboxs on Live with no problem.
