Xbox live to airport extremed???

I have my new airport extreme (ver 7.7.3) plugged into the cat5 outlet in our condo. We have webpass service so there is no modem. I have my xbox 360 wired to my ae and can't get a connection. Ive tried manual ip/dmz/port forwarding but still get no connection. Does anyone have the setup process from a factory default xbox setting to get a connection??
Thanks

Hi Richie!
Does your current router not have a built-in hub that you could plug your XBox into? You're essentially trying to connect your XBox to the Internet with two routers (your MacBook and your regular router) in between and this can certainly cause problems. But it's probably not impossible.
The only way to do this is to enable Internet Sharing in Apple menu --> System Preferences... --> Sharing --> Internet. Since your MacBook Pro only has one wireless and one Ethernet port each you'll have to share from one to the other. However, if you're using the Ethernet port for your Internet connection you'll have to use wireless on your XBox. Does it have wireless? A simple Ethernet hub will not work in this configuration.
The easiest and cleanest solution is to purchase a router with a built-in hub or a wireless router with a hub. They're relatively inexpensive (less than $50.00).
Hope this helps! bill

Can't connect to Xbox 360 live with Airport Extreme wirelessly

Just bought Airport Extreme and Xbox 360 slim and we are having trouble connecting wirelessly.
When testing connection on Xbox, some problems:
- MTU setting not high enough
- does not have assigned IP address
Been trying all day and getting frustrated. Any help appreciated.

Unfortunately, the AirPorts do not offer a means to change MTU settings.
Additional Microsoft articles on the topic of MTU that may be helpful:

Xbox 360 LIVE and Airport Extreme Base Unit

Hi,
I can get my XBOX Live Wireless unit to connect to my AEB. However, when I play COD4 (Call of Duty 4) to test the connection it is extremely laggy. I also get a lot of drop-outs...
Is there still not a fix for Airport Extreme -> XBOX Live Wireless Connector Compatibility?
I have 2 xboxes. One connects via a wired Ethernet connection to my Time Capsule, this works fine. However the other one which has to be wireless just seems way to laggy..
At present I have bridged my old Wireless g Router which is a waste of elecricity as far as I am concerned.

I have mine being run wired to my AEBU. Before I bought it I was online trying to find reviews on it for the Xbox. I did come across some wireless workarounds. If you goggle it, I want to say that the router either runs wireless a/n or wireless b/g, like you have to change it to wireless b/g, I'm not %100.

2 xboxes - strict nat - airport extreme

Ok here's my problem.
I've got two xbox 360s connected to two MacBook pros running snow leopard using Internet connection sharing. Playing on xbox live works fine, but when we try to join each others party on xbox live to play on the same team, it doesn't let us connect. When we run an xbox live test it says we have a moderate or strict nat type. The MacBook pros are both connected to our airport extreme on the same network. I've tested them both wired directly into the airport and they work fine on an open NAT type, but this isn't feasible we don't have two HD TVs where the router is.
So my question is, how do I get both xboxes to an open NAT type so we can play online in the same party?
Microsoft support said the airport extreme was not a supported router. I can't afford another one.
Any suggestions?

Reply on @teressax with a question.
I was triggered because you are talking about a bridged situation, I have also a ps3 and want to stream music and video to that ps3. My current fritzbox modem router does not do the job good enough. So I was thinking on extending my network with an airport extreme. In my network is also a web server.
The modem/router uses the range 192.168.178.1-255
Question: Can I put the AE wired(!) extending into that same range? And connect my network to the AE then to keep the same internal network range?
I am intending to switch the wireless of the modem/router off and use the wireless if the AE also of course.
Is it then still possible to reach the web server from the outside?
I still have to find out how to do the streaming, but I am searching for someone that tells me that it will work.
Regards,
Jim

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.

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.

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.

Updated instructions for connecting to Xbox Live

Hi everyone,
Like many others, I can't seem to get my Xbox Live to connect consistently through the Airport Extreme. There is a ton of lag. I have been working on this for about a week and there have been some great posts related to this issue. However, all of the instructions and Youtube videos I have found aren't using the current OS, so I just can't seem to make it work.
Can someone write out the detailed instructions for connecting to Xbox Live using Airport Utility 6.1? Or, if there is a post somewhere, I would appreciate it if someone can point me to it.
Thanks!
Patrick

Hi there,
You might need to forward/open ports on your router first so that your xbox's connection will work very well.
In this link, Click Here, you can see an example on how to forward ports.
But in your case, forward/open ports for your xbox's connection.
Under the Port Range Forwarding page, enter the following:
> Application=xbox1 Start Port=2869   End Port=2869   Protocol=TCP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox) Enabled = Checked
> Application=xbox2 Start Port=10280   End Port=10284   Protocol=UDP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox) Enabled = Checked
> Application=xbox3 Start Port=1900   End Port=1900   Protocol=UDP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox) Enabled = Checked
> Application=xbox4 Start Port=10243   End Port=10243   Protocol=UDP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox) Enabled = Checked
> Application=xbox5 Start Port=88   End Port=88   Protocol=Both
      IP Address=(IP of the xbox) Enabled = Checked
> Application=xbox6 Start Port=3074   End Port=3074   Protocol=Both
      IP Address=(IP of the xbox) Enabled = Checked
Good luck!

How do I connect Airport Extreme to XBox 360 live

I just bought an Airport Extreme to use as my wireless router. Everything connected beautifully EXCEPT my all in one HP Printer and my XBOX 360. If I manually enter the settings, I can connect but only for a minute or 2. Once my son starts using xbox LIVE, the connection gets dropped. All instructions I can find must be for older utilities. I eventually plugged in my old G Router into an open LAN port on the back of the Airport Extreme and got my printer working when connecting to the old network ID but still can't get XBOX 360 to connect and stay connected. Any help is appreciated.

Ok, thanks for the update. Do you have the Xbox connected to the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) by Ethernet (wire) or by wireless? If wireless, temporarily connect it by Ethernet to verify that you can get connectivity via this method.
If you were using wireless, which of the following is the wireless adapter that you are using?
802.11g or
802.11n?

Airport extreme not compatible with xbox live?

Hello,
Ive had this problem for a long while now and are getting desperate. Basically when i go on xbox live the connection is really really bad. It's not all the time, rarely it will work fine but most of the time the connection is awful.
I know the problem isn't because of the location of the xbox since, the connection is strong in my laptop in that room and we have also used a wifi signal analyzer in the room aswell. It's not because of where i live since i have a friend across the road who's xbox connection works fine. We also have an xbox dowstairs much closer to the router which also has the same problem. Im almost convinced its because of the aiport extreme.
We have an aiport extreme which acts as the router and a netgear which is the modem. The airport extreme has to be in bridge mode or else i get a double nat problem. I think its something to do with the airport extreme and netgear conflicting, if they where i have no idea how to solve it or even if thats the case.
We tried taking the airport extreme out of bridge mode and then turning nat off on the netgear but then we couldn't connect to the internet at all.
Please help me, i really need this problem solved. Its really starting to annoy me.
Thankyou

Im almost convinced its because of the aiport extreme.
Unfortunately, the key issue here may be that the AirPort Extreme is not on the Xbox list of "compatible" routers.
Xbox LIVE Compatible Hardware - Xbox.com
I know of no way to change that fact.
We have an aiport extreme which acts as the router and a netgear which is the modem.
You do not have a Netgear modem, you have a Netgear modem/router or gateway. That is why the AirPort must be in Bridge Mode. In Bridge Mode, the AirPort is not acting as a router, it simply passes through the network information from the Netgear gateway.
If you want the AirPort to act as the main router for the network, then the Netgear device must act as a pure, Bridge Mode modem. Netgear support may be able to tell you if it is possible to configure the device that way.
But, even if it is possible to configure the Netgear this way and the AirPort as the main router, the fact still remains that the AirPort is not listed as being "compatible" with Xbox, so there are no guarantees that this will help.

AirPort extreme , PS3 Xbox live

Ive recently got a macbook and love the look of the airport extreme however I'm not really going to be using the wireless capability much. I want to use the wired ports. it has 3 ethernets out if i send 1 to PS3 1 to Xbox and the other to a switch for my macbook and pc , and maybe more products in the future will this set up be okay?
ive heard lots of problems with airport and xbox live / ps3 but these seem mainly due to the wireless components not if i used a wired connection.
if im not going to be using it for the wireless capabilities that much nor the usb HDD because i intend to use a Network storage device for faster speeds is it worth getting or should i stick with a cheaper router.
basically i like the look of the software config tool for it but wondered how easy it is to port forward etc for games consoles compared to other products.

Hello frostybarney. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!

Yes.

It really wouldn't make much sense to get the AirPort, or any other wireless router, if you really don't intend to use this capability. I suggest a wired router, like the Linksys BEFSR81 for what you are looking for.

Airport Express as wifi card for Xbox Live, then connect to Extreme network

My son just got xbox Live and we're trying to use Airport Express as wifi card for xbox (connected to xbox via ethernet). We use Airport Extreme as router for the house.
We're having trouble setting up Xbox Live, keep getting stuck at getting the xbox to communicate/access the web. Error reads "can't obtain IP address from router... make sure DHCP is enabled and has a large enough address range for all devices on network.. also make sure MAC filtering allows your console's MAC address or is disabled... "
We dont' know what else to do. I'm at wit's end before giving Gates $100... Anyone know how to get connected?
Thank you!

You can also perform a simple test to verify if you have an internet connection at the ethernet port on the AirPort Express.
Move a laptop near the Express, turn off the wireless on the laptop, and connect to the Express using an ethernet cable. See if you can open your browser and get a good solid internet connection.
If you can, the Express is setup correctly and you know that you have an internet connection reaching all the way to the Xbox.
If you can't then there is a configuration error somewhere and it will need to be identified and corrected.

Hook my Airport Express to my Extreme for Xbox Live?

I have an Airport Extreme router that feeds the WiFi through my house. I also have an Airport Express that is in my living room which connects to my stereo to wirelessly stream my iTunes.
I'd also like to connect the wire from my Xbox Live to the Airport Express to get it online. Is this possible, and if so, how do I do it?

Try the following:
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Make sure there is a check mark next to "Enable Ethernet Clients"
Click Update to save your changes
Test first with a laptop by turning off the wireless on the laptop and connecting via ethernet. Open your browser and you should have an internet connection. Try another ethernet cable if you don't have a good connection.
If still no luck, power down the entire network.Start the modem first, then the device connected to the modem and so one at time until all devices are powered up.
Everything above assumes that you have the Express set to "join a wireless network" in the normal AirTunes configuration.
