Fury of One 6 Report post Posted July 13, 2008 I'm not an idiot when it comes to computers, but I can't figure out how to get the router to work with Xbox live. I bought a D-Link EBR-2310 wired router and can connect to the internet fine. I went through the port forwarding thing and they have a selection for xbox live but that didn't work either. I'm probably doing something wrong so any help is appreciated. I'm on a mac fwiw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EBondo 232 Report post Posted July 13, 2008 I use the same router, but on a PC. Connected the ethernet cable to one of the ports from the Xbox to the router and it's worked fine for me, so not sure what your problem is, I would just keep trying it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fury of One 6 Report post Posted July 13, 2008 I connected the cable that came with the router to the modem, the computer into port 1 and xbox into port 2. I entered all my PPPoE settings as they are on my computer. Works fine if I connect directly to the modem but I wanted to avoid the whole plug, unplug deal. When I test the connection, it fails at the IP address slot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best $100 I've ever spent, considering my router/modem are on another floor of my house now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be that you have to call your ISP and have them reset you IP connection (I went through this myself). Let them know that you are trying to connect to XBox Live and they should be able to trouble shoot any other problems that you might have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckhoggy 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2010 For those that use Xbox Live and wireless routers, did you assign certain addresses on the network options on the 360? or did you choose to do yours automatically (default)?I just bought a new wireless router - therefore want a better set-up now.
