TP-Link (Routers) TL-WR1043ND: Cannot connect my xbox 360 to the internet
Hi Kevin,

Thanks for reaching out to us. It appears you have done some major troubleshooting but are still getting a DNS server error when trying to connect to Xbox Live. I recommend that you use our

solution for getting an error message when testing the Xbox Live connection on a 360. Based on what you have tried so far, you may need to set up a manual DNS setting to get you back in the game. You'll need a computer that is on the same network that you
plan to connect your console to in order to get the proper DNS server numbers.

On your computer, click Start, type
cmd in the search bar at the bottom of your start menu, and then press ENTER.

At the prompt, type ipconfig /all, and then press ENTER.

Find a line that begins with DNS Servers.

Write down the DNS server numbers.

Once you have the DNS server numbers, you'll need to enter that onto your console.

Press the Guide button on your controller, go to Settings, and then select
System Settings.

Select Network Settings.

Select Wired Network or the name of your wireless network.

Select Configure Network.

On the Basic Settings tab, select DNS Settings.

Select Manual.

Select Primary DNS Server.

Enter the first number you wrote down, and then select Done.

Select Secondary DNS Server.

Enter the second number you wrote down, and then select Done.

Select Done again.

Press the B button on your controller and then select
Test Xbox Live Connection.

Your console should connect to Xbox Live if this worked. If it does not, then I recommend checking out the wizard for possible other solutions that may be available or you can always
Request a Callback from Xbox Support for assistance.

It's going to ask if you want help from the virtual agent select
no thanks,pick the category(Games)and just pick a contact method
(request a call from support or Chat is faster).

I hope this helps a bit more.

Hi all, i have a problem

NAT is strict and UPnP Error

Double NAT detected ...

I have 1 xbox one and 1 xbox one X

I'm from france sorry for my english

Tormaz · Nov 15, 2018

Hello!

It sounds like there's either something wrong with the configuration of your router or the router itself.

KevinZ2342 · Nov 15, 2018

But the internet works fine with other devices. All the devices that are able to connect to wifi are connectes to the wifi except the console. I even tried to use my phone hotspot to my xbox but it still didnt work

Frathos · Nov 15, 2018

I don't recognize those DNS IP addresses, guessing they are from your ISP. Try setting the DNS to Manual and using 2 of these 3 (first two are from Google):

8.8.8.8

8.8.4.4

1.1.1.1

I don't know if 1.1.1.1 will work everywhere as it's new and relies on CloudFlare servers IIRC.

Wel, you need to login to your router configuration by internet browser by adresses 192.168.1.100 or 1 and default login is admin. And password too. Next step is setting wireless connection - SSD named wifi network. If you have this with password protection,
you need go to setting, network setting on your xbox one console and set "set wireles connection.find you ssd network and confirm and input pasword for acces to your wifi network.

direction ?

XBF Leslie D

Hi Jordan,

I'm sorry to hear that is happening. With the information provided on the post, I can tell what the issue may be there. Having two routers causes to have a

'Double NAT type' which usually causes for the NAT to be Strict. Of course that isn't something we want, as this can cause issues with joining online multiplayer games, and parties.

I would suggest to check this link out in regards to Double NAT: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/networking/double-nat-detected

If that doesn't seem to help I would suggest to do the steps here:
'I need help with my Xbox One network connection'
