A few weeks ago something strange started happening with my home wifi. If I was using my PC to access anything on the internet, then tried to use my xbox to sign onto live, the xbox reported that it couldn’t talk to the router.
I would have to unplug the router, plug it back in, then log onto Live, then I could use my PC and my Xbox online at the same time.
Another strange thing is that sometimes I will be downloading off of Xbox Marketplace on my 360, and this causes my PC’s internet speed to plummet. It would take about 3 minutes to do a page refresh on Qt3 for instance. The 360’s download speed was definitely not high enough to be sucking all my bandwidth. Also, I had never seen this behavior since I’ve owned my 360… just recently it started.
Any ideas why this might be occurring? I haven’t modified anything on the router (It’s a Linksys running WEP security). I poked around a bit in the router configuration, and nothing seemed amiss to me… granted, I’m not expert on networking.
