So I finally got broadband, dropped 100 dollars on a wireless network adapter and hooked my 360 up and go to join xbox live and it says it cant conect, i test everything and everything confirms except xbox live and it says xbox live failed. I call tech support and talk to 3 different people and give them my error codes and they say its their server. so am i just going to turn my 360 one day and it will connect or is there some way to fix this. I have tried connecting with an ethernet cable but still says xbox live failed. help please

Well you could have hooked up your router incorrectly, so make sure of that first. I know when i've set up routers before, I would do it wrong the first time so nothing would end up working.

this same thing has happened to me before and it was the xbox live server that was down. Do not worry, with in a couple of hours or tomorow it should be back up in running and you will be able to play xbox live again.

If you test it and it says that xbox live failed that means there servers are having problems. It happens sometimes because of all the people that are on. Just try after a little while and if it does not work wait some more. You will get on eventually.

The answer is obvious, what kind of router did you purchase? The reason I ask is because on the Xbox website there is a list of xbox LIVE compatible routers. If your router isn't one of those you will have NAT or other connections issues including not being able to connect at all...Hope that helps!

If it was his router than something other than live would have failed.

No it wouldn't as the connection is still there, it is just that the UPNP settings for the 360 server are weird and routers need to be configured properly to work with xbox live servers...

Also if there are issues with the servers www.xbox.com/support will display the conditions of XBL at all times and they currently say up and running so this is not the case.

You should probably open some ports specifically for your 360. That might help.

If you haven't been able to connect for a week, then it certainly isn't a problem on Microsoft's end.
