I have Airtel broadband with a router (beetel 450bx1) for wi-fi set up at my place..am unable to connect to live...ive tried connecting the router to the console directly & even the console to my laptop but neither is working... any suggestions?

Try this : disconnect from your wifi network . Create a network bridge between LAN and WLAN . Then connect to your Wifi network using your laptop. Now , connect the the 360 to your laptop with an ethernet cable. And voila. You have your wireless connection on 360 ready. And first try with Automatic IP settings. If it doesnt work then i will give you the manual ones.

i tried this out...the xbox connects to the internet & to xbox live but then says that i need to download an update...when i agree to this, the download begins but stops immediately saying it cannot download & asking me to test my connection....what does this mean?

That error means your xbox is connecting to internet but not to live. Having the same problem here, with airtel connection only. No solution yet. Oh during test connection, it says MTU setting should be higher than 1364, or DNS unresolved. In case, you are getting the same error message, then dude, we are in the same boat here. :scarerun:

 

Oh, in case you resolved that issue, PM me too. Would be really thankful to you.

I'm planning to get the Wireless Adapter (just saw the old one in Landmark yesterday) since I have wi-fi set up with my Airtel Broadband connection. I hope this will work. Anyone have any feedback on the X360 Wireless Adapter?

 

 

are u really spending 5000 for that.

I was using airtel in mangalore .. Currently im in bombay.. Nevermind that, the point being that i too struggled and finally was on the verge of giving up.. Until i looked up microsofts support page in great detail.. What they suggested was to just configure you mac address of your pc to match your xbox.. I was skeptical , but i tried , and the damn thing worked.. Just to reconfirm it , i changed the mac address , this time it did not connect. But when i changed it back , it was working flawlessly ... Hope this helps, cos it sure helped me..

Arkham Inmate, looks like the problem you're facing is related to the XBL ports being blocked on your router/modem.

 

Google for the Xbox LIVE ports and how to forward them from your router.

 

I'm using the same kind of setup. Airtel broadband > Beetel modem > Netgear Wi-fi router > Xbox Wireless adapter and it works fine. I had to do port forwarding though. Before that I was facing the exact same issue you are facing. The Xbox is able to connect to the internet but not LIVE.

 

Oh btw, the 360 wireless adapter is expensive no doubt but it works well. I've had no issues so far.

dont know but i guess i should be lucky..

 

i have same connection and connect xbox with my laptop.

method is simple.

you have to establish bridge between your xbox and ur laptop first.......by normal lan cable...

if bridge is establish then its fine.

 

 

 

see if bridge is establish its well and good

and if disconnect try again to bridge first it will reestablish

 

also first try test connection in xbox setting

 

i play online games from airtel wifi but with help of laptop only.......

 

also try youtube it will really help u as it helped me..just search making bridge connection in laptop and xbox.

 

tyler tell me one thing.......

 

how i am planing to take netgear router which one you have also how did u configure netgear router with beetel

it would be nice if you can pass me ur phone number.
