So apparently my 4-5 year old Linksys router is having some kind of issue with my 360 and not letting me connect to XBOX Live tonight (even though I was online last night no problems and my PS3 and Wii are connected fine!) Linksys says they can't offer tech support cause it's not under warranty anymore and want to charge me $29.99 just for tech support. So any deals with wireless routers out there?? Online or B&M is fine. Thanks
 
Don't just run out and buy a new router. www.google.com is your best friend. Your router is still working fine, your PS3 and Wii are still connected. Just figure out what the problem is and refrain from wasting your money.
 
i agree with googling your issue....i can guarantee that if you do some research youll find your solution :)
 
Have you tried power cycling your router? Just unplug the power and plug it back in. If that doesn't work you could try doing a full reset on the router. There should be a small button on the back you will have to use a pen or paper clip to push in. Most routers you just keep this button pressed in while plugging the power in and hold it for about 30 seconds. After resetting you will have to set up the router again for your internet connection (you would have to do this with a new router anyway.)

Make sure that you have your ports forwarded properly for xbox live or have UPnP enabled on your router. This site lists the ports needed by live. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908874

If you still can not get it to work Mwave has a good router on sale for $29 after rebate right now. It's a good router but the default firmware isn't the best. I'd recommend installing DD-WRT or Tomato on it.
