I own the DIR-655 version B1 (EU version) living in the UK.I play xbox, specifically in Halo Reach. My setup isn't straight forward as I have 2 xboxes in the house, one wired and one wireless and I need to keep the NAT ratings open on both. This limits me to certain settings, and doesn't allow QOS on the v2.00 firmware due to my need to have dynamic ip addresses.I have just flashed the router's firmware with new version (DIR655B1_FW205B06) as it appeared available for download in the router's firmware menu. The old version was FW2.00 as said.any other settings to enable or disable, for wired, or wireless, that will optimise for xbox gaming. Finally, I also have fw version DIR655B1_FW206B02, which was emailed to me by D-Link, if this is any better.
I need a router for gaming on my Xbox 360. When gaming I use a wired connection. All my heavy dl/streaming on my laptop will be wired as well. When I'm gaming no other traffic is on the network, meaning my laptop is turned off. The only time I use my laptop wireless is for browsing when I'm not close enough to the router and modem to go wired.
I was thinking of getting the ASUS RT-N66U. I'm fine with the price if I can't find a quality, reliable router that would meet my needs for less.
Region : Argentina Model : TL-WDR4300 Hardware Version : V1 Firmware Version : ISP : Region : Netherlands Model : TL-WDR4300 Hardware Version : V1 Firmware Version : TL-WDR4300_V1_121225 ISP : Ziggo
Set up the WDR4300 with a USB drive connected (Platinum MyDrive CP 500 GB USB 3.0).Enabled the Media server, shared the entire drive, stuck an test .avi on there.My laptop has no trouble playing it from the attached storage, my Xbox sees the folders and files, recognizes them as playable formats but then does nothing once I hit play to get the file going.If I copy the exact same file to the shared folders on my laptop, navigate from the Xbox to that location it streams within the second.Also tried the same thing with a 16 Gb USB thumbdrive, same result.
Ive been trying to work this out on XBL forum for a while. all my settings seem to be correct ( UPnP, NAT type: open, no port forwarding or triggering, IP settings on Xbox's are auto).
The two Xbox can play online separately, when either one of them attempts to join the others party it disconnects from Xbox live.
According to the microsoft website, Xbox live only supports the Hardware version 1A and Firmware: 1.00NA.
My router has B1 and 2.00NA. is there a way to downgrade?
I need setting my 825 router on the best optimize setting for my ps3, Im running wireless on it and the router is about one room away from my ps3 which isnt that big of a difference since I am getting 95-100% signal on it, the issue is the rate speed runs about 36m-54m it NEVER, or at least I havent seen it go higher than that.I turned the QO6 engine but it didnt really change a thing, will running this wire do the majic? or is there another alternative set up I can do on the router to have it run on best settings.
I bought a DIR-655 a less than a year ago on amazon, and it was working great up until about 4 weeks ago. Ive noticed that it has been dropping alot of packets while I am gaming on my computer. I would run about 95-98 ping usually and now it jitters every 5-10 mins or so from 95-98 to up to 500. It is really troublesome during games and I dont know what to do. Ive tried disabling QoS and still nothing. I run on wireless G and N with auto 20/40 mhz. Standard WPA(personal) and it was running absolutely great until now. I know its the wireless because I have hardwired it into my laptop, both from the router and just the modem itself with no problems whatsoever. I dont know what to do about it.
I have a wired connection to the router and typically all works fine. I have several Ipods and laptops accessing the router wirelessly with no real problems. As soon as I start playing America's Army (2.8.5) on my desktop (wired) my wireless connections all drop and the kids start yelling to turn the internet back on. When I exit the game all goes back to normal...
i have a d-link Dir-825 (Hardware Ver. B1/Firmware 2.02NA) and i wanna connect my ps3 to the 5ghz for online gaming but i cannot find the option for it. also when scanning on my iPod Touch and PS3 for a wireless connection i cannot find the SSID that i named for 5ghz and the only one that shows up is the other SSID i named for 2.4ghz.(both SSID are not the same name). is it really worth switching from 2.4ghz to 5ghz?
is it possible to setup 3 x xbox 360's in a home network, 1 is mine, connected to live, the other 2 are for the kids but i just want to setup local network gaming with the kids but also so they cannot connect to live account as they still young. i'm looking to run game on mine and stream / share a multiplayer game with the kids but restrict their internet access?
I need to restrict access or rather, block altogether if i can, access of one of the computers on my local wireless network, to online multi-player gaming sites, in particular Age of Empires and Voobly.com, which also uses a messenger type program for them to chat.I've searched and searched online, but alas, have come up with nothing that i understand. I've tried doing the block ports thing, but am unsure if what i've been doing is right. I have blocked Voobly.com under domain and URL settings via the router admin page, but for some reason, it only seems to be denied on my computer. I even went so far as to register and download relevant programs to my computer, for Voobly, so i could see if the blocking worked. Seems it's only my computer that's blocked, i didn't specify ip or mac addresses.I am unable to get on the other computer as it's not mine, and it's also password locked. I don't know the password
A few days ago I received my DIR-655 I ordered off Amazon and hooked it up. There were no problems the first day after initial setup. The next day I noticed that I was losing internet connection even though the wifi indicator on my laptop said otherwise. This happens for about 5 minutes at a time and on other devices such as my desktop and my iPad. And I hopped on Call of Duty last night and played a competition with some friends and gave everyone 4bar connection. Later that night, I was playing some more and people that connected to me received 1bar connection and I got that in return on their connection. I feel that the router isn't working with my devices right?
Trying to setup port forwarding for an XBox 360. Set fixed IP on XBox using IP outside DHCP range. DHCP range is .50 to .80. Set XBox to .49. Gateway is .1. Mask is 255.255.255.0.Added four port forwarding rules per directions on xbox site and also portforwarding.com for ports 53, 80, 88, 1074 to the static IP Turned off DMZ, Turned off UPnP, Turned off SPI. Windows firewall is on, running XP Pro SP3 and Win 7 Pro on other devices.Making the rules active for the fixed IP shuts off internet access for other devices.Single router (E4200 V2), switch, then remaining devices. Private IP addresses in the 192.168.xxx.xxx range. Rebooted router, same issue. What am I missing?
Wasted several hours after changing to a D-link DIR 825 router attempting to connect to my XBOX 360 (S) without success.Tried to use the 5 GHz broadcasting with following settings (the 5 GHz SSID didn't show up in the XBOX wireless list but I'm one of those ignorant trial & error:
- locked on 802.11n and WPA2,
- disabled Multicast Streams in "Advanced/Advanced Network",
- disabled SPI and TCP & UDP Endpoint Independent i "Advanced/Firewall Settings/Firewall Settings"
In the end it was resolved by the info in solution 5 on the xbox page: The XBOX:es with built in wireless can only use the 2.4 GHz connection, and to be able using 5 GHz broadcast I apparently have to get the "black adapter".
I installed my DIR 655 today and had no problems accessing the network with any of my computers, however, I am completely unable to connect my xbox to the network. The issue isn't with connecting the xbox to xbox live, its with even getting it to connect to the wan.
[code]...
No matter what I do the xbox says it can't connect to the router, and in the router's wireless connections it shows my xbox's MAC address with an IP of 0.0.0.0.I installed my DIR 655 today and had no problems accessing the network with any of my computers, however, I am completely unable to connect my xbox to the network.
I just upgraded yesterday to the DIR-655 (ver B1, F/W Ver 2.00NA), and suddenly my sons Xbox 360 complains that the NAT is set to moderate. I'm not really sure what this means, but I've never seen it before and it wasn't an issue with my old router. It pertains to the DIR-655? I did some quick google searches and I've seen lots of different 'solutions' to this issue, but none of them seem to agree with each other and I'd rather not spend and entire afternoon trying one after another given that this router kills my internet connection for a full 20 seconds every single time I make any change.
I've moved into a new apartment with a couple of people who already have wifi set up. They are adament about me not running a ethernet cable across the apartment to my room for my xbox 360. I have a DIR-601 from my last apartment, and I am wondering if there is a way to set up the router as an access point that allows me to connect to the existing wifi network and then wire my xbox 360 in.
Xbox is connected via ethernet to DLink. Router does not assign IP address to Xbox but does to all other wireless devices and wired computer. Xbox can connect to xbox live via direct connection to modem so cables and adapter are all good. Can't assign either static or dynamic IP address to Xbox. Have reset router to original config. Am at a loss of what else I can do?Have 2.01 firmware and have reset modem as well.PS....It has occasionally been connected in the past but currently no connection possible through router.
No matter what I try, I cannot get the DIR-655 to connect to my Xbox 360 Wireless N Adapter with N, only connects with G. If I use N only mode, it won't connect at all, even if I manually input the settings. Setting the security to WPA2 Only and setting the Cipher Type to AES doesn't work.
Hardware Version : A3 Firmware Version : 1.35NA 802.11 Mode : Mixed 802.11n and 802.11g Enable Auto Channel Scan : Checked Transmission Rate : Best (automatic) Channel Width : Auto 20/40 Visibility Status : Visible Security Mode : WPA-Personal WPA Mode : Auto (WPA or WPA2) Cipher Type : TKOP and AES
My netgear router kept dropping my internet connection so after some research I bought the DIR-655 router. It installed fine. My computer connects to the internet great and so does my xbox. But now my xbox doesn't see my PC so I can not set up a media center connection. I know it isn't a firewall setting or a setting on my computer because it worked fine with my old netgear router and the router I had before that. I even double checked by turning off the firewall. I have version 2.0 firmware and the settings are out of the box. I assume there is something I need to set up to get this to work but I have not been able to find any answers on the internet. I don't know a lot about networking as I've always used out of the box settings and had success with everything working the way I like.
I've been using the Dir-655 for 2 or 3 years with my old Xbox 360 and an external G wireless adapter. Everything was working perfectly until I got the dreaded Red Rings Of Death the other day. I replaced the Xbox with a new Slim version with built in N capable network adapter.
After more than 10 hours of trying a variety of "fixes" I found from MS and in this forum, I am still at square 1.
Hardware Version : A3 Firmware Version : 1.32NA (this is listed as Live compatible by Microsoft) 802.11 Mode : Tried N only, G only and mixed 802.11n and 802.11g Enable Auto Channel Scan : Checked Transmission Rate : Best (automatic) Channel Width : Auto 20/40 Visibility Status : Visible Security Mode : WPA-Personal Also tried WEP WPA Mode : Auto (WPA or WPA2) Also tried WEP Cipher Type : TKOP and AES
I tried assigning an IP manually from the Xbox. But, no matter what I do, the router will not accept it. It is especially frustrating that the Xbox is visible to the unit. It simply will not assign an IP to it under any circumstance.
If you read the sales hype promoting the Dir-655, you will see a lot of nonsense about it being great for gaming. Given that, you'd think a simple solution would have been found and posted for this issue by now. Surely, end users shouldn't be trying 100 different possible "fixes", none of which work, at this late stage of the firmware upgrades. If I sound a tad fed up, it's because I am. After the expense of the new Xbox, it appears I now have to junk my router too.
Here is the status screen taken when it was in mixed mode. Changing it to 'G Only' didn't make any difference:
I have recently bought a wireless N 150 usb Dlink adapter, i have installed the software and have conected it to my router using WPS (I do not know the passphrase). The adapter is working excellent but when I added the adapter, my old SSID (Dlink) got switched to Dlinkelb7. Dlinkelb7 has full bars when the old Dlink only comes up so often with one bar. Since the switch of Dlink to Dlinkelb7 my xbox 360 adapter has a very hard time connecting to Dlink and it will not connect to Dlinkelb7 because it needs a passphrase. My router is also Dlink Model DIR-615.
I just upgraded my dir-835 to the latest 1.03 firmware and it still not working.Plugged an ntfs firmated drive with films on it into the router and windows media player can see and stream from the router but xbox 360 is not detecting the media server !I tried with a dir 857 and xbox works fine but with the dir 853 no go
I've been trying to play Final Fantasy XI on my XBox 360 through this router. I have the latest firmware available. According to FF's tech support I need to port forward TCP and UDP 50000 through 65535. I've done this numerous times on my own and twice through D-Link support and am still getting disconnected.The game plays fine when it's connected directly to the modem, but as I'm not the only person in the house this isn't really an option.
I'm having trouble seeing my PC from my XBox (I want to use WMC to stream video to XBox). Here's my setup:
ISP provided modem (No branding), connected to my PC Network out (Wired) from modem to Dlink DIR-665 router (which is broadcasting WIFI) Network out (Wired) from Dlink router to XBox
I'm online with the XBox with no issue, but I can't access the PC through Media Centre with this setup. When I connect the XBox to the modem directly, I also have no issues. I'm using Norton Internet Security 2012 if that could be the issue.
i have a little network knowledge but the tp-link wa-500g is proving quite a challenge to set up.i am trying to set it up in client mode to use with the xbox 360.thhe problem is i seem to set everything up correctly but it doesnt actually seem to work or to connect to the main router..which is a sky sagemfast router...(could this maybe be the problem? and if so how could i sort this? i have set a static ip on the tp.link and set up in client mode and "supposedly" connected to the main router in which is hard to figure out if it has or hasnt...also my sky router has wpa security and i am wondering if something has to be configured in my tp-link wa-500g to connect? but i can find no information on this needing to be done.
I'm attempting to connect an Xbox 360 console to a Linksys WRT54GL router (wirelessly), using a TP-Link TL-WA500G wireless access point. I've had this working in the past, but I didn't make a note of the configuration unfortunately. The Internet connection is connected to the router. The device hasn't been used for several months. During this time, I installed Tomato firmware onto the WRT54GL router, however I have since completely restored the router to factory defaults, by reinstalling the default firmware and performing a hard reset. Having reset the device, I was surprised to see that the Tomato favicon is still displayed when accessing the router's admin webapp.
Had to uninstall pure networks software as wouldnt work with new HP printer software 8600 at all. took me 2 days to figure that out. anyways I am a newbie when comes to networking. I finally got everything to work but I cant get the xbox to connect. I tried within the software at the IP address but nothing happens, DWA 552, Software version A2, Firmwre ve 1.1 os/ win xp media 2005.sp 3 computer: made by me: Intel BX97520J (bad axe) cpu: Intel quad, 6600 2.4 ghz,
I just upgraded my wireless router to a D-Link DIR-655. I have 2 PCs and a network storage device (D-Link DNS 321) connected via ethernet to the router. I also have an xBox 360 connected wirelessly to the router. The xBox is able to connect to the internet via the router, but it cannot connect to (see) the PC's or the network storage device. It was able to do so with my old wireless router (a Belkin), but it stopped with the DIR-655.
