You can start the DHCP Range at 192.168.x.100 and assign the XBOX a static address of 192.168.x.99, for instance.

You have the order correct. A wired connection is preferred but not required. The Xbox does not need to be on but it may make it easier if it is. The E4200 should be able to resolve open NAT for one console without port forwarding. If you have DSL service
you may have double NAT. Make sure to see if we have page for your modem as well, look under gateways.

I set my x1 to a static ip address. I then went to my Linksys router and under DHCP Reservation, I added my X1. Rebooted the router. Still barely able to get to 480p.

Okay cool, so to recap, I should do this dhcp reservation step first before I go into the port forwarding step. And DO I have to hard wire my computer via Ethernet to the e4200 for this dhcp reservation while having my Xbox turned on and connected to the
e4200?

Thanks

Trying my best to understand your situation

what would help if you could expand more on the network topology example being

HOUSE 1:

Internet (ISP)

|

Modem

|

Linksys Router 1

|

|

| 100 ft Ethernet Cable

|

|

HOUSE 2:

Linksys Router

Solution 1: DMZ Zone

The easiest solution would be on both routers login to the web admin panel & tweak a few things

Router 2

Network Map> Click on WLAN connection for XBOX then (Reserve DHCP Address)

Security> DMZ > View DHCP Client Table > Select WLAN for XBOX

restart xbox and check if NAT is open if not then

Router 1:

Network Map> Click on Lan connection for router 2 then (Reserve DHCP Address)

Security> DMZ > View DHCP Client Table > Select Lan Device Than for Router 2

restart both routers and xbox

if that does not work then it means you have a modem/router then double Linksys router

on the modem router combo provided from isp either put Linksys router 1 in the DMZ zone then try again with the reboots.

Solution 2: Port Forwarding

The harder solution than putting in the DMZ zone would be Port Forwarding the necesscary ports from Modem / Router Combo to Router 1 to Router 2 to Xbox
