Many people will find that trying to use Xbox Live and a Siemens SE567 gateway will result in problems connecting. The Xbox will give a NAT error typically. This is because Universal Plug and Play is disabled by default on the Siemens Gateway. Most other routers have it on allowing the Xbox to configure the connection correctly without NAT errors or port forwarding.
How to enable UPnP:
- Log in to the gateway (192.168.1.254) and click Login in the top right corner
- Go to Advanced settings
- Click Local Network on the left
- Click Plug and Play just below it
- When the three option appear on the right, choose the 3rd one and hit apply. (Full Internet Gateway Device support)
Once that applied, the SE567 will ask to reboot. Once it does retry Xbox Live and it should work. This fix will allow Playstation 2 consoles to connect as well from my experience.
Playstation 3 consoles with the newest firmware will NOT be physically compatible with the Siemens SE567. PS3s with the old firmware will be able to work still.
