hey whats up..lately Ive been experiencing major lag in my 360..I have a wireless verizon DSL modem/router..which i have 2 360's hooked up too and my laptop which i get a wireless connection too..my internet works fine..but when i play online it lags alot..even if my computer is off or on..its a brand new modem..anybody have any ideas on what could be causing this lag? it just started to happen within the last month..if anyone has any ideas that may help pass them on please..thanks in advance.
you could have your neighbors free loading off of your connection and that could cause you to lag. you should password protect you connection if it isnt already.
if your using a wireless connection try moving modem closer. could be a simple problem like people walkign in your house other wireless stuff interfering etc
cardiackid: my password is protected, i use mcafee security so i dont think anyone is doin that..good idea though i didnt think of that..
phili: i dont think its that because my modem is literally like 10 ft from my 360 and plugged in with a ethernet cable..and my laptop is near my modem/router..but my computer works fine, as does the internet on my computer..i was reading some stuff online and I saw a lot of people complaining about the Westell Modem/router as being nothing but headaches..thats what I have...maybe I need to upgrade to a better modem/router..i dont know im at a road block
I sometimes get lag as well, though my wireless router is quite far away. My biggest problem I find though is my mobile phone which I had to turn off because it kept on disconnecting me mid game, and when it actually rings it completely disconnects we signal for my laptop.
Well I had verizon dsl too I think that was the problem. after I got fios I never lagged again except ig I play Gears on a east coast connection. try moving your xbox so it can pick up a better wifi connection, and check how long your 360 can connect to Live when you test connection. Sometimes its just the provider.
