djdiggla Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Ever since I switched to cable from DSL i've been having various problems with my network. It's certainly faster, but I constantly have to reset the wifi router and ish like that. Now i'm not even able to play COD multi player. The connection check thing says I'm all fine, I can log into my profile but if I try and get to the multiplayer menu it spins and spins then craps out and says the COD servers are down and to check some website which i do and it says they are all working. I also even get game requests from other players but can't join--nothing happens when i accept them. Fucking pissing me off and might not renew my membership if this shit continues.

Steve Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Sounds like a NAT issue. Have you tried running a connection test from the 360's dashboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 Yeah and it comes back fine. At first it wasn't then I switched to lan line (from wifi) and it's been fine. i switched back to wifi just not to check and still comes back as a good connection with Xbox Live. Would it help if i run my router with no encryption? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I got that a few times when i played black ops. Its CoD servers not your connection . try another game and see if you can connect to multiplayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 If it's just that 1 game that's affected then it's probably the Black Ops servers. If it's other games, then there are a few things you can try, so if one thing doesn't work try the next one on the list: - 1. Make sure UPnP is enabled on your router.2. Give your 360 a static IP and forward the ports that Xbox Live uses.3. Put the 360 in the DMZ. I wouldn't turn off the router's encryption.

djdiggla Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 Previously I had upnp problems with the wifi but it didn't mention that in my connectivity test this time. Probably that's it tho. This router seems to always reset setting and all kinds of bs. It's a Zytel (?) should I get a linksys or something?

Steve Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 My old router (a Netgear) used to need resetting a lot and it would also lose settings. I switched to a Linksys and it's been rock solid. I wouldn't switch unless you know for certain that that's the problem though. I would try the static IP/port forwarding combo first, cos that often cures connection issues with Xbox Live. Here's the ports you need to forward: -  Obviously, you would put in the IP address that you assign to your 360 rather than the one in that image.

djdiggla Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 OK. Will see if I can do that for the time being. The router is fucking with our smart phones too so if I find a Linksys on sale I'll just grab that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 You could try a hard reset, then set your network back up again. There's usually a button that you can press with a pin to reset the router to factory settings. Also, see if there's a firmware upgrade for it, as that can often fix problems.
