WRT54GS and xbox wireless

Maybe a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway.  Just bought XBox 360.  Have a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router.  Do I need to buy a wireless adapter for the Xbox 360 or a rest and all I have to do is set up?

Turn on your xbox and goto the xbox settings, click the System tab and then click on network settings, on the network settings page, select change settings... In the page to change the settings, if you see a wire/tab network then your xbox has a wireless adapter if it has not one...

  • WRT54GS and XBOX360

    I hope someone could help me to translate these instructions in what I do with my WRT54GS.

    http://www.Charter.com/customers/support.aspx?SupportArticleID=1967

    I found the MAC address for the 360, it's just that I don't know where can I go to make these types of changes in the Linksys router.

    I don't know how to get into my router configuration screen, I just need the instructions from there.

    My Xbox connects very well when it is connected to the cable modem only, but not through the router.

    Thank you!

    First of all is that your XBOX360 is a wired or a Wireless.Here are some parameters you need to place on your router to your XBOX work with the Linksys router, here are some settings that you can configure your router. You need to Hardwired anyone from your computer to the router.

    Open an Internet Explorer browser on your computer (desktop) wired page. In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
    Let the empty user name & password use admin lowercase...

    Click on the tab "Games and Applications" and then click the sub-tab "Port Range Forwarding"...

    (1) on the first line in the box, type Application in ABC, in the start box, type in 53 and the type of box in 53, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the box to enable...

    (2) on the second line in the box, type Application in PQR, in the start box, type 88 and type of box in 88, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the box to enable...

    (3) on the third line in the box, type Application in XYZ, in the start box, type in 3074 and end in 3074 box type, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the enable box and click on save settings...

    (4) once you return to the game to the top page, click the Security tab and uncheck block anonymous Internet requests and click on save settings...

    5) click on Setup and change the size of the MTU to 1452 and click on save settings...

    (6) address IP, Goto settings XBox network settings and assign the following on the IP address of your Xbox and select manual IP settings:-192.168.1.20, subnet mask:-255.255.255.0 default gateway:-192.168.1.1...

    (7) also assign DNS addresses on Xbox primary dns:-4.2.2.2... Secondary dns:-192.168.1.1

    (8) turn off your modem, router and Xbox... Wait a minute...

    (9) plug the power to the modem first, wait a minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and... test it connects...

    I think this should solve your problem.

  • Need help with a WRT54GS and a BEFW11S4

    I need a setting of assistance until a bridge (I guess that's what it would be called.)   The WRT54GS is connected to the Modem and sends wireless signals, but the BEFW11S4 will not find the signal wireless of the WRT.

    I tried to use the WRT without a bridge but after talking with Linksys, they said that the area that I'm trying to get a wireless signal is a Deadspot in the House.  What I wanted to do with the 2 units I have so it's pass down wireless signal to the BEFW then I could connect the laptop via Ethernet and an Xbox similarly.

    Is this possible and can someone give me advice on how this should be done.  I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to the computer, but this is a first for me and throw me a loop for.

    You can't connect two Linksys wireless router, they will communicate only when it is connected with all ethernet cables...

  • Qosmio G20: Question about networking & monitor in and Xbox

    Just bought a G20 last week and I'm in love. First laptop I've ever owned and its worth every penny.

    A few scarecrows.

    I never received an antenna adapter to connect my in arial, but I'm sure I sohuld of fact. In the quick start manual of what it listed everything that I should received in the pack, and who was listed. Was not enough one - if anyone knows a number to contact Toshiba and get one of these sent to me? Can't seem to find one anywhere.

    Second... I'm going to my brother's computer network. Novice course of network, it does not work that well. I'm not sure whether if we need a router? I just want to connect to his computer and use the internet through that. As you would with a network cable. So he bought himself a wireless network card... but we'll be buggered if we can get it too work. Any advice or a definitive guide... or do we this router after all?

    And thirdly, sorry for the long post, but I'm playing my Xbox by the G20, but I'm having no luck what so ever. I plugged the monitor using the three composite cards (white, yellow and red) but nothing that passes through. The only way I've seen a photo is when you set up a decoder and it happens in a small box when its analyses for channels... but I can't select to see and it seems s delay 1 second.

    Sorry for the post long-term... just try to make it all sorted.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello

    You are right that the Qosmio is a very nice unit.
    But I'm not sure about the antenna adapter. I found the information in the user manual that the antenna adapter is optional. In this case the adapter will not always come with the laptop, but you can ask that the Toshiba service partner.

    Well well, on the network connection: If you want to connect two computer, you need a crossover network cable if you don t use the router. In addition, two laptop computers must be in the same workgroup. In addition, you must manually set the IP address, the default gateway and the subnet mask in the internet protocol TCP/IP properties.

    On the Xbox:

  • WRT54G and WRT160NL Torrents

    OK so here is my setup. I have a wrt54g directly on my access to the internet at home. There his hard cable to my wrt160nl where my desktop computer is connected. I would like to open a port for a torrent program to use, but I have no idea how to do that. Ive looked around a few guides but haven't found one that works. any help is really appreciated! (im sure this has been posted b4 but still, I couldn't find any soultions for my situation)

    If you want to run the two WRT as a router and have two separate local networks, you will have a much more complicated installation and the port forwarding for your torrents can turn out to be complicated, if not impossible. You must configure the port forwarding on both routers.

    I highly recommend to use a single router with a LAN configuration. The second router will be used as a switch access point and equipment.

    For example like this:

    1. the WRT54G connect to your modem and a address LAN IP 192.168.1.1.

    2. the WRT160NL is configured with the address LAN IP 192.168.1.2. DHCP server disabled.

    3. the WRT160NL is connected by one of its ports LAN for the WRT54G. Do not use the internet port of the WRT160NL.

    The WRT54G deals now all functions related to the internet. Customers on the WRT160NL connect directly to your local network and through the WRT54G to internet. Port forwarding must be configured on the WRT54G and there only. It's the simplest and probably most reliable installation for you.

    Of course, you can also swap the two routers in the previous configuration, either you use the WRT160NL as internet gateway and the WRT54G only as an access point.

    The access points in both routers must be configured with different SSID as they use differnet wireless standards (unless you spend the WRT160NL wireless-g only).

  • WRT54GL and Xbox Live

    Hey there everyone.  Lately I had problems with my WRT54GL and Xbox Live.  When I try to connect to Xbox Live, it fails.  When I do a network test to check what the problem is, it says that I'm connected to the Internet, but I can't connect to Xbox Live.  I have opened the appropriate ports on my router and have even tried to put the Xbox 360 on the DMZ.  No solution helped.  I also tried to disable the firewall router SPI and its SecureEasySetup.  Still no luck.

    I powercycled my all network equipment and called my ISP (Time Warner Cable). My ISP says that the problem is not on their end.  I plugged the 360 Wireless at first, but also tried plugging it directly into the router.  Xbox always gives me the same error. The only thing I can not try connect the 360 directly to the cable modem.  When I got my service installed in my new apartment, I forgot get address MAC connected to Time Warner Cable of 360.  Normally, this is a problem since the router's MAC is the only one that matters. However, this also means that I can't connect directly to the modem to see if it is really a router problem.

    If anyone knows a place or how to get it to work, I'd be very happy.  I know that the WRT54GL is not certified with the little "Xbox Live Compatible" stamp, if I need to get a new router is not totally out of the question.  I wanted just to eliminate any possible problems that might arise before that.

    Connect the router directly on your computer with an Ethernet cable, then download this to your desktop.

    Open your browser and type "192.168.1.1" with the URL of the box, the two username and password should be "admin" unless amended.

    Now, navigate to the administration tab and find the update of the firmware, and then install the file that you put on your desktop.

    You now need to reset the router, press and hold the reset for 30 seconds button and unplug the power cable for 1 minute.

    Log in to the router DHCP enable/change, 20 Mhz, SSID, channel 11 - band Radio 2.46Gh, then work on getting your security put in place again.

    Go into the settings advanced wireless
    Change the tag to 75 interval, modify the threshold of fragmentation to 2304, change the RTS threshold to 2304, now save the settings.

    Hello
     
    1. when the question is is produced?

    2. you remember of any changes to your machine before the question?
     
    I would like you to follow the steps mentioned below
     
    Step 1:
     
    Instead of bridge, you should be able to share the connection from your laptop.
     
    a. Click Start, click Control Panel
    b. go to your network and sharing Center.
    c. on the left side, click on manage network connections.
    d. right click on your wireless network adapter, click Properties, click the sharing tab, mark the tab to share this connection
    e. click on apply, then try to connect to xbox with your ethernet cable, either incidentally, it must be a crossover cable in order to function.
     
    Step 2:
     
    Disable all security software temporarily and see if the problem still occurs.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software
     
    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.  In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
