Just posting to inquire whether or not anyone else experiences frequent disconnections from XBL. I know everyone is going to immediately say it's my connection, but it honestly isn't. Everything else in the house works just fine; we've got three, sometimes four computers and two Wiis that all connect with no issues at all. It's just my 360.
Weird, unexplainable problems:
- I'll turn the console on, and the auto sign-in won't work because it cant find a connection, so I sign in manually and it connects for a few seconds, then disconnects. The next five minutes is a battle between me and the console where I press "connect", it connects for a few seconds, then disconnects. I usually have to do this anywhere from 5 to 25 times.
- Once I'm connected, if I immediately start moving through the tabs or selecting things, it disconnects me again. I usually have to let it sit for a minute or two after I've connected.
- Certain games disconnect more often than others. For instance, I never get disconnected from COD4, but I can rarely make it through a single chapter in Left 4 Dead due to incessant disconnections.
- Once I get disconnected after being connected long enough to actually play for a few minutes, I have absolutely no trouble reconnecting, proving that my connection is fine. Ten minutes later, it happens again.
This is absolutely infuriating. Everything is as it should be, but I just cannot maintain a solid connection on this thing. I can play games on my PC for hours without so much as a hiccup, but my 360 just will not stay connected. At this point, I'm completely convinced something is broken or not working properly in the console, because it's the only machine in the house giving me trouble.
If anyone has any sort of input on how to fix this, please tell me.
