ok they aren't adding your xbox to your current service....New customer's are going to be able to take advantage of that new promo "a special offer that includes triple-play service with FiOS TV, FiOS 35/35 Mbps Internet service and Verizon voice service, starting at $89.99 a month.The offer also includes a 12-month Xbox LIVE Gold Membership and the “Xbox Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary” game. Order now – the special offer is only available through Jan. 21"
I believe this is online ordering only try to order it online instead of calling in as that is where I personally have been advised
FiOS TV customers will have access to an app on their Xbox consoles, which will become available for download next month. Once customers download the Verizon FiOS TV app on their console, they can begin watching live streaming FiOS TV channels - without the need to pay for another set-top box. Customers must subscribe to both FiOS TV and Internet services.
Initially, 26 FiOS TV channels will be available, depending on the customer's TV package
Customers who order FiOS TV and Internet service will receive the "Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary" game and Xbox LIVE Gold Membership token within 30 days
I hope that breaks it down a little bit for everyone

I am trying gettin additional information regarding how the app is going to work and how it applies to your TV service as to what channels you will have..I'm sure that information will be available a few days before the app is released.
Ultimate Bundles will have 35/35 and 26 channels on the App
Extreme HD .......
Prime HD ...........

  • Can't run Xbox live and computer at the same time

    I purchased a E3000 router for Christmas so we can run our new laptop, desktop, son's ipod, and the xbox live. At first, the only problem we had was that if a video or large page was downloading on the internet, xbox live would glinch and run very slow. Now, if someone's on xbox live and someone else turns on a computer, it boots them off xbox live. I don't know what the problem is. Any suggestions? Thank you.

    Is the Xbox connected to the wireless network?
    Try changing some advanced wireless settings on the router.
    Open the setup page of the router and go to Wireless tab. Click on Advanced wireless settings sub tab. Change the Beacon Interval to 75, RTS and fragmentation threshold to 2304. Save the settings.
    Click on Setup tab and change the MTU size to 1365. Save the settings and power cycle the router.
    See if that helps you.

  • Can't Access Hotmail of Xbox Live via Verizon DSL

    Someone please help as this situation is now in its third day and no one has been able to help me. The Verizon customer service phone line keeps blaming Microsoft, and vice versa. The whole blame game is getting tedious.
    Since Friday, Feb 3rd at approx 9pm I have not been able to sign into either my Hotmail of Xbox Live Accounts. Now let me be very clear, the password and logins are correct, but the browser continually times out and won't connect. I have been able to access my email via my work computer (10 miles away) so I know that the Hotmail servers aren't down. I can access the entire internet at home, just not hotmail. I can log into the Xbox website at home, but the console (which is plugged directly into the modem) times out when it tries to login.
    I really just want to know that someone is looking into it. This problem seems to be affecting only Verizon DSL/FIOs customers in CA, who use hotmail of the Xbox live services. I'm just really tired of getting the run around.
    To help here's what I've tried:
    -Reloading and Resetting my internet browser
    -Cleared cache and deleted cookies and temporary files
    -Reset modem
    -release/renew IP address
    -contact Microsoft and Verizon (both have failed to address the issue properly)
    -Accessed affected email through a different computer on a different network.
    Please help.

    I also thought it might be hepful to post a link to the Windows Live Solution Center forum where you can clearly see that it isn't just me. This is a systemic problem for Verizon DSL users in CA trying to access Hotmail and related Microsoft sites.
    Connect the dots. This is not just an individual incident, this is a much larger outage that needs attention.

  • Trouble with Sonos and Verizon FIOS

    I am using a Sonos audio system with a Verizon FIOS ActionTec router. Periodically (every week or so) I lose the ability to connect to *some* Internet Radio stations. Some Internet Radio stations won't work at all, some work intermittently, and some work.
    ALL of the "non-working" internet radio stations work just fine when I connect from my laptop using iTunes or other internet radio clients. i.e. I can rule out a problem with the internet radio station.
    Other services on the Sonos work, both access to my local music collection and access to streaming internet services like Pandora. So I know my Sonos can connect to the internet.
    Rebooting the Sonos doesn't resolve the problem. Rebooting the router doesn't solve the problem. Shutting everything down, waiting an hour, and re-starting it doesn't solve the problem.
    The only thing I have found that solves the problem is resetting the router to it's default configuration.... Which is strange, since I have changed none of the configuration of the router. But clearly a "factory reset" clears something that a reboot doesn't.
    I don't use the WiFi on the FIOS router... I have an Apple Time Capsule downstream of the FIOS router, and the Apple Time Capsule acts as my WiFi access point. So any deficiencies in the FIOS wifi support don't apply.
    The ActionTec does provide DHCP and NAT, and of course provides routing between my LAN and Verizon.
    My FIOS router is an ActionTec MI424WR-GEN2, running Firmware Version 20.10.7.5. My Sonos setup includes a ZP90 (Hardware version: 1.1.16.4-1, running software version: 3.3, build 14433290) and a ZoneBridge (Hardware version: 1.5.0.0-1, running software version: 3.3, build 14433290).... i.e. all current revs.
    I am stumped by this problem, because *most* functions of the Sonos work when I have the problem (including other internet streaming), and internet radio works fine from other devices. If it were a DHCP problem I would expect my Sonos to lose ALL internet connectivity, but that isn't happening.
    Any clues or suggestions?

    spacedebris, the Sonos has a ZoneBridge which is wired (ethernet) to the Time Capsule (which, despite the name, is not only a network attached storage device but also an ethernet bridge and wifi hotspot.)  The Sonos Zoneplayer connects wirelessly to the Sonos ZoneBridge.
    While it is possiblle, I doubt that the problem is with the Sonos connectivity to the LAN.  I can ping it, connect to it from the Sonos controller (actuall the Sonos controller App on iPad, iPhone, and laptop, which all work), it can access my music collection from my network attached storage (different device than the Time Capsule), and it can access Pandora streaming music over the internet.

  • XBOX Live and Time Capsule Configurations

    I've been searching now for just about an hour online, and unfortunately my head is spinning just a bit trying to figure out how to configure my XBOX Live with Time Capsule.  In order to allow for Open access (versus Moderate), it seems as though some manual configurations need to be made so the XBOX and Time Capsule play well together.  But the thing I am unable to figure out is...HOW DO I DO THIS?!  Specifically, what are the steps I must take to configure Airport and/or XBOX?  What information do I need from the XBOX?  I've been reading about port forwarding, which seems to be the solution, but I really am not familiar with how this is done on Time Capsule.  So for those of you with the know-how and patience to write a play-by-play for dummies from the very beginning to the point where all should work, I'd appreciate it.
    Just a quick insight to my network...I have Time Capsule connected to my ISP modem.  Thank you!

    And isn't the "host device" and "base station" the same thing?
    No, host device is the box that is the server you are trying to map to.. base station is the Airport Extreme as he is writing more to that market.. TC is the same though.
    Just port forward the standard ports for xbox live.. I do not believe all of these are necessary.
    http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live/connecting/network-ports-used-xbox-live
    Xbox LIVE requires the following ports to be open:
    Port 88 (UDP)
    Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
    Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
    Port 80 (TCP)
    Make sure you lock the IP of the xbox .. using dhcp reservations in the TC is the best but on the xbox will also work.. the rest should be straight forward.
    Tell us a bit more.. What model TC do you have? A1xxx from the base please??
    What is the ISP modem? Is it also a router.. if so consider hard using the router in the modem.. if it is upnp so xbox can work automagically .. rather than killing yourself mapping ports.. the advantage of upnp is more than one xbox can work on the same LAN.. you can never do this manually forwarding ports.
    What Airport utility are you running? Do you have access to v5 utility? If not I can give instructions to load it on Mountain Lion.
    What firmware is the TC on? Lots of issues with 7.6.3 ie the latest one.. so 7.6.1 is better alternative. Always and in some earlier TC then 7.5.2 is much better again.

  • 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.

  • Xbox Live and Playstation Network keeps lagging/dr...

    I am starting to get really annoyed now at the fact that since Sunday the 2nd of November I have had constant problems with my BT Infinity lagging and dropping connection with my Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Their are other devices connected to my HH3 and they don't lose connection ever, they have just recently received slow speeds.
    I have tried the usual restart the router etc many times and still nothing, I have an Open NAT on both consoles. So I know this is not the issue. I have read the forums a lot lately and noticed that other people in the North East of England are experiencing the same gaming problems as me.
    All the service checkers state that everything is fine with my connection when it clearly isn't. I have spoke to someone at BT in the online support chat and they said they aren't trained to deal with this problem and are expecting me to pay on top of the £40 a month I am paying for the BT Infinity service I am not getting, in order for someone else at BT to have  a look at my problem.
    I have seen somewhere on the forums that people have been told it is a Routing issue that will be fixed in 24 hours, the post was yesterday and still no fix as of yet.
    Will someone at BT be able to tell me what the problem is exactly and when they are going to fix it?

  • How do I switch back and forth between Roku and Verizon FIOS TV?

    I just purchased a Roku 3500R Streaming Stick (HDMI). I set it up with no problem. What I can't figure out is how to switch easily between viewing the Roku and viewing regular TV. The only way I was able to get rid of the Roku screen was to unplug the Roku from the one HDMI connection on my TV, and replace it with the HDMI connection from my set-top box. If I got an HDMI splitter, would there be a way to switch back and forth without unplugging things?
    FYI, my TV is a Sony Model KDL-32S2010. Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted!

    Looks like your TV only has 1 HDMI port.
    A splitter won't work. Would need to get an HDMI switch.
    Or just get component cables (will need 4) to run from FIOS box to Component ports (3 video and 2 audio) on the back of your TV.
    Then just use the TV menu to switch back and forth.

  • Airport Extreme (802.11n) and Verizon FIOS

    I have Verizon FIOS, previously connected with their Actiontec Wireless router. I removed that router and connected to a Belkin Pre N router no problem.
    Today I purchased the new Airport Extreme and my intent was to use it as the only connection point for FIOS. However I can't get it to connect to the internet. I get the flashing amber light no matter what.
    I verified with Verizon that I am on DHCP, not PPPoE, and that's how it worked/works with the Belkin. The only way I can get it to work with the Airport Extreme is if I put the AEBS into Bridge Mode disable the radio on the Belkin and connect the Belkin to the AEBS.
    I've also updated the AEBS to Firmware 7.1.1 to see if that helped, no dice.
    Does anyone have any experience with the Airport Extreme Base Station working with Verizon FIOS?
    I'd appreciate any assistance you might be able to provide.

    For anyone who wants to know I got this working.
    I reset the AEBS and left all connections and the router unpulgged overnight. This morning I reconfigured the router (DHCP) with my desired security settings reconnected and powered up and now everything's functioning as it should using only the Airport Exteme Base Station. No more bridging!

  • Airport Express and Verizon Fios - setup problem

    we recently converted to Verizon Fios - the airport express (used to play music through a stereo) stopped working and is no longer recognized (continuous blinking amber with "no configured station etc")- i have read through older solutions and many deal with different versions of the station or of Airport Utility - my Airport Express is Model A1264 - the Airport Utility is 6.3.1.4 - the OS X is 10.8.3 -
    the Verizon Router has the following: (codes left out)
    Actiontec number (ending in rev.1 - is this the model #?)
    User name = admin
    password
    ISSID
    WPA2 key
    WPS pin
    Wan Mac
    the ISSID (5 digitt alpha and numeric) and the WPA2 Key (16 digit alpha & numeric) have been used to log on all wifi devices in the house (eg iphone/ ipad, streaming netflix) and worked
    any assistance greatly appreciated

    i did read your post and had already tried a hard reset - several times - i have done it again to no avail - however i have done the following
    - i have 3 iMacs - one in the next room to where the main one is (the one i am having trouble with) and another in another part of the house with no wifi service - i took the Air Exp and plugged it in next to the iMac furthest away - it was found in seconds
    - i next tried it on the iMac in the next room - it was found - the Utility indicated it was examing the station then it wanted me to set up a new network which it named using my name and Airport Express - it asked for a new password - i gave it to it - THEN it wanted me to plug an ethernet cable into the airport express!! which i can't do - that is why it was being used wirelessly - i can't seem to get past that point
    - the main Imac still will not find the Air Esp station - if i can get the one in the bext room to work the airport express i can transfer the music to it and play from there

  • Time Capsule and Verizon FIOS

    A few years ago my Actiontec router for Verizon FIOS died and they wanted me to pay for another one. Instead of buying a new Actiontec router I bought a Time Capule. I have had no problems until yesterday. My time capsule had a solid amber color and the amber color did not go away no matter what I did. I took ethernet cable from the Time Capsule and plugged it into my iMac and I no problems accessing the internet.
    I should not have  to set up a PPoE connection because I can remove the ethernet cable from the TC and plug it into my mac directly and access the internet with no problems. (I had Verizon DSL some time ago.)
    I went out today an bought a new Time Capsule (4th gen). I came home and plugged the ethernet cable to the WAN Port and turned it on. I ran the airport utility and configured it. The TC rebooted and came up with a green light, but I had a problem. I could not access the internet.
    Here are some of my settings taken from the airport utility.
    Status: normal
    Version 7.5.2
    Wireless Mode: create a wireless mode
         Allow this network to be extended.
    Connect Using: ethernet
    Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    IP Address: 169.xxx.xxx.xxx ( a real IP Address)
    subnet mask: 255.255.255.255
    Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default)
    When I look at my network settings when the ethernet cable is plugged directly into my mac, I get these values:
    IP Address: 173.xxx.xxx.xxx
    Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
    Router: 173.xxx.xxx.xxx
    There are DNS entries
    I know human error is involved (mine). Did I miss something?

  • Time Capsule and Verizon Fios 9100EM Router

    I am looking for fairly detailed instructions on how to turn off the wireless on the verizon router and use the Timecapsule to distribute IP addresses. In other words I want to use my Timecapsule as the main router and connect the verizon box to it as simply the modem. My router from verizon is model 9100EM. I'm not great at this kind of stuff and any help would be great.
    Thanks.

    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit
    Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
    Insure that the setting for Router Mode = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Click Update and allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart
    Very important......
    Power off both the Verizon modem/router and the Time Capsule
    Wait a minute or two
    Start up the Verizon modem/router first and allow it to run a full minute
    Then start up the Time Capsule

  • Need help with WRT600N and Verizon FIOS router

    The standard Verizon router doesnt have Wireless N capability, so I got the WRT600N (first floor) a while back and connected it to one of the ports on the Verizon router (basement).  I have the wirelss turned off on Verizon router.
    My problem is that anything connecting to the WRT600N has extremely intermittent connectivity.  I have tried to go in to make a bridge between the devices but that hasnt helped.
    If anyone could offer me some suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.
    ~Christian

    Did you disable the DHCP server on the WRT600? I also disabled the firewall as well.

  • XBOX ONE. I have the xbox one and the airport time capsule and cant connect to most xbox live games and zero parties. I have 0 experience in all this but somehow was able to change NAT to open but still wont connect. HELLLPPPP

    Okay folks, I need your help out there.
    So the nerdy side of me went and picked up the XBOX ONE on release day. Its awesome by the way, BUT..... I cant seem to connect to most xbox live games and absolutely ZERO parties. At first I just thought it was something to do with the xbox itself and would eventually fix itself, but i was wrong. After looking into it on microsoft, i found out that it had to do with my NAT settings on the airport itself. I guess apple and xbox are not compatiable for xbox live and it makes it difficult to have an open NAT setting and is a huge PAIN.
    I was able to pinpoint one that the airport time capsule was blocking the IPV6 something or another. Anyways, I unblocked that, and reset the modem and time capsule and jumped on the xbox and now have open NAT settings but still cant connect to multi-player.
    Upon further searching, i was told to uncheck the UPNP on my time capsule as well, but have no idea how to find that.
    I know it seems confusing, but thats the best i can describe it.
    tthanks all

    Be a long long time before I see an Xbox One.. but whoever told you to uncheck the upnp in the TC.. tell them their dreamin' .. upnp is not support by Apple in any computer or router, never has been.. Apple deliberately wrote their own version called NAT-PMP to do the same thing.. dynamically open ports at the request of an application or client computer.
    So there is nothing like that to uncheck.. and as a matter of interest.. there no box to check or uncheck for NAT-PMP either.. since apple do not believe in end user adjustment of settings.. they simply do not exist.
    You will have to manually forward all ports required by the Xbox via the TC. For multi-player games you probably need to open more ports than the standard to allow just xbox live. You will need to check the ports required and open them.
    OR
    Buy a standard vista UPNP compatible router.. and use that.. and simply put the TC in bridge in the network.
    I have not seen posts yet about xbox one.. but there are plenty about xbox and ps3 and the fact that Apple really doesn't give a hoot about games consoles.
    This is a good basic post for older xbox.
