2 Consoles and 2 Live accounts

MrFliskerGaming · Aug 25, 2015

I'm at my wits end here. I setup a second Xbox 360 for my kids and bought both of them Xbox Live Gold accounts. It worked great for a couple of months and then out of the blue, one of them started getting NAT errors and limited Xbox Live connections. I found
that if I power cycled my gateway then the one I was having problems with would work fine but the problem would follow to the first one that was working.

After doing some research, I learned that most of the time, NAT problems are due to router issues not supporting UPnP. After more research and some digging, I found that my AT&T U-Verse gateway didn't support UPnP so I bought a Linksys WRT 1200 AC wireless
router that does. I put this new router into the DMZ of the AT&T gateway and used the Linksys for connection but that didn't help. I've also tried putting one console into the DMZ on the Linksys and opened ports Port 88 (UDP), Port 3074 (UDP and TCP), Port
53 (UDP and TCP) and Port 80 (TCP) for the second console but that didn't help either. I've talked to AT&T several times and Microsoft and neither of them are telling me that it shouldn't work but at the same time, they cant offer any solutions. As a last
resort test, I took both consoles to a friends place with a different ISP and the consoles connected to Live just fine.

I'm at a total loss here and need some help. Has anyone else had this issue? I've googled it but I'm not finding much. I can't be the only one on the planet that has two Xbox 360s and two Xbox Live accounts.

More things I've tried:

Put one console into the DMZ on the gateway and one on the Linksys router with the above mentioned ports.

Enabled port triggering on the Linksys for the above ports opened

Set both consoles and Live as priority in the Linksys

Set static IPs, gateway and DNS in the consoles

Other crap that I can't remember right now

How can you tell if an account is the primary account? I know these are total noob questions I've only had my xbone for like 2 months.Click to expand... No problem. Using your account, you have to set the xbox as your home console. The first account you registered to the system the xbox will be attached to it as the home console.

You need at least 2 for 3 consoles. Unfortunately there is no family plan for Live.

For exampled, you have accounts 1, 2, and 3 and consoles 1, 2, and 3

Account 1 purchases Live and sets console 2 as their Home. Account 1 can then sign in and play online on console 1. Account 2 can then sign on and play console 2 without needing to purchase Live. Then account 3 purchases Live and can play on console 3.

hi i will try to help you as best i can then

You have 2 console 3 account

Account 1 (with subscription)
Account 2
Account 3

Console A
Console B

Account 1 that owns the subscription will classify console B as the primary one from that all accounts on console B will have access to the subscription

which means that account 2 or 3 on console B will have xbox live and all

in return Account 1 will be the only one able to use the xbox live on console A

If you want account 2 and 3 to play together, you will need one of the two subscribers

You'll need one account for each person that expects to have their stats saved for each game. My wife & I play on one Xbox (because the old elite RROD out of warranty) so each of us needed separate accounts in order to play games & save stats.
