problem connecting to Xbox live since dashboard update

darkenedwing

for the last 8 months my 360 has been working fine, but ever since the update it rarely wants to connect to live, and sometimes the second I try to sign in it says it cant, like it didnt even try to get a connection. I use the 360 wireless router but like I said everything has worked great up until the dashboard update. Has anyone else had this problem or know the cause/a fix for it?

Reset the network settings? I had to do that for mine as well.

im pretty sure I did that, but ill try it again if it worked for you.

What kind of router do you have? I had this issue once long before the update, and I had to actually remove the 360 from being able to connect, then reset the network settings on my 360, then unplug my 360 (probably a waste of time), and then get them back up and running.

Disconnect the wireless adapter, wait ~30 seconds, and plug it back in.

disconnecting the adaptor and reconnecting it fixed my problem thankyou, both of you.
Now lets see if it will stay connected through playing a game...

darkenedwing,

Is this still working for you? I'm having the exact same problem. I'll try it tonight when I get home.

Well, just tried it and that didn't work for me.... back to the drawing board I go.

If you have the official XBox 360 wireless adapter, what color is the light, and is it blinking or constantly lit?

I had the same thing happen to me. I had to reconnect to my network after rebooting my router. Pain in the ass, but wasn't too bad since it worked on the first try. They should've put up a notice or something, ridiculous.

Constantly green. There's no problem connecting to my wireless access point and router.

I went and rebooted my WAP, router, and switch. I also cleared the 360 out of my access list and readded it just for good measure. The combo of this seems to have fixed it... at least for now. I'll give it another try tonight to see if that fixed it permanently or not.

Still working!

Thanks for the suggestion george-x!
