I am away at college and my bro calls me tonight saying that Xbox Live isn't working. I run him through the usual recycling of the router and modem and he still gets a DNS failed message. I tell him to check the Wireless adapter on the back and he says is GREEN so I tell him to try it again and it still fails. Anyone know whats going on here?

Is your router firmware updated?

This happens to me occasionally. Idk exactly what fixes it but for me it's usually fixed after I turn the router off and unplug/replug everything. It seems to do the trick.
