Xbox Live Help **LOCK PLEASE**

I am using a Netgear wireless router (WGR614 v5), but have my 360 plugged in on the back. Right now, I cannot get Xbox Live to work for longer than 5 or so minutes at a time and sometimes, just when it's plugged in, our laptops can't connect to the network (the connection flickers). Also, whenever I test the connection, it always says "Xbox Live is up and running" and I have another 5 minutes online. It started doing this a few weeks ago, but I didn't have much time to look at the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried connecting the xbox directly into the modem?

    I can't, not enough slots on the modem, I'd have to unplug the router.

    That would be the point... you want to know if the router is the problem.

    ...it was, or at least, one port was. I just switched the ports that the cable was plugged into on the router and everything worked fine, no problems anywhere. Thanks for the help though, although I feel stupid for asking for help now, if my brain was working right I would have figured it out much sooner.

    Locky time.
