Murphy11211 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2006 G'dayIm trying to get my xbox 360 work on xbox live and I'm using a rather hybrid connection. Instead of buying the extra wireless adaptor I've connected my laptop to it (via an ethernet cable) and then bridged the laptops wireless and wired connections.All the network checks work fine on the xbox EXCEPT for the MTU settings, the 360 says it should be at least 1364, but mine is set too 1500, I called up the xbox live tech support and they said it might be to high, but I cant for the life of me figure out how to change the settings.I have a Buffalo Airstation Access point (model WHR-G54S). I've searched around a lot but I cant find anything usefull. And I can't seem to get in contact with their technical support.Thanks for any help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markymark2 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2006 Hi, First of all welcome to the forums,I have a dig around and it seems that this router is some kind of Linksys clone.I would go have a look at thier forums and have a browse.I would point out tho that that range of routers comes with one that you cannot change the MTU on..but I am pretty sure that the "S" variable router is changeable.Good Luck and post back any findings so we have them on our forum..thats what we are all about you see :PMarky;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Markymark2 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2006 well this number G54S is also a linksys model number..they change the first part like WHR or WDR but they are all based on the same G54S chassis.So look up Linksys G54S MTU or something like that,Heres a bit of text i found on a linksys page about changing MTU size.. You can change the setting on the Setup page of the software by putting a tick in the radio button for MTU "Enabled". Then change the default number to 1492 for DSL, leave it at 1500 for cable. Save settings at the bottom of the page. So far so good with this change. You might contact online chat support for more info.If you change the MTU setting while connected you may lose your connection at that point. Should come back after you reopen your browser.Hope this helps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xboxrulz1405241485 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2006 u should try to tone down the MTU to the 360 recommended MTU setting. Even I had an old Linksys, I had the MTU perfectly ok and now I have a Netgear instead, but that's not the point.Just try a lower MTU on your router.xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wutske 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2008 Might it not be that the xbox is referring to the MTU size that your laptop uses on your laptop's ethernet connection ? At least, that was the first thing that came to my mind when reading your post . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems like every hour and a half my xbox live account gets signed out. I quickly run tests on this and it says MTU failed. My seting were originally 1500. So I toned it down to 1364.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted September 9, 2008 You should just be able to access your mtu settings. On a netgear one open up explorer and type in 192.168.0.1 and then admin for the username and password for the password (unless changed). Then scroll down to WAN setup and you should see something to do with MTU where you can type in your own prefrence...Mine has to be between 1 - 1500...Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
