Xbox live keeps dropping out

[banderson]

I've got a problem with my Internet connection I think and wondered if anyone may have a solution for me..

I've got a bthomehub 2.0 and it's all connected fine, whilst in the middle of a match on COD MW3 if I press select (to view scores) the signal monitor is dropping and picking up again!

But other times it will just kick me out of a match half way through and freeze for a couple of minutes then say "cant connect to Xbox live" "you must be connected to play online"

It then won't reconnect unless i turn it off and leave it a few mins!

Any ideas?

Wired or WiFi connection?

Can be a huge number of things.

Phone line filters , jittering in the line , other signals disturbing the wifi signal

WiFi mate, wired isn't really an option as Xbox is upstairs and home hub downstairs! Used to be fine beginning of the year

 

[chale989]

is it a bridged connection or straight to wifi

 

[banderson]

How'd you mean mate? You'll have to bare with me as I'm not massively clued up haha

The Xbox is connected straight (via WiFi) to the hub mate, not through anything else if thats what you mean??

 

[banderson]

I was thinking of changing the channel of the hub, as I heard that can help??

Have you managed to get onto your homehub settings? Try change the port forwarding so it prioritises the xbox when connected helped alot with my g.fs bt internet.

Weak signal, you probably need a wifi range extender/repeater/booster

i got wifi analyzer on my phone that shows all the channels of wifi signals around

when i changed my wifi channel it was loads better

 

[banderson]

Surely if it was weak signal, the signal telltale on cod would always be low? It's 3 or full bars normal but then fluctuates and dies!

I've been into the router before but it was confusing me may change the channel soon then

Wireless is the problem... Maybe a pair of these? http://www.ebuyer.com/150039-extra-value-85mbps-powerline-adapter-twin-pack-int5500-twin-pack-
I use them for a PC thats miles away from the router... house is over 100 years old with lead lined walls I'm sure! I'll be damned if I can get a decent wifi signal.. Those adapters are plug and play..
