    OK, here is my problem, sorry if covered before on here, hope someone on here can help.

    Young lad has an xbox the last couple of years (2010 xmas), been working away on xbox live with no issues. Recently turned on the box and the N type wireless adapter green led is flashing and he is unable to go online with it, we have UPC broadband which is working fine,

    He is currently online via a laptop and ethernet cable using the wireless on the laptop to connect via the upc wireless modem

    Purchased a new N type adapter, same issue, flashing green led

    He says he has all the updates as when he is asked to update, he does as he could not get online unless he installs the updates

    Any & all help appreciated

    Its a UPC issue I'd say. Several people are having issues with UPC & Xbox Live

    Happening me also, it can take 5-10 goes to get the Xbox to connect to XBL, even though it's obviously picking it up. Old model Xbox too

    How was it possible to sign in using an ethernet cable & laptop but not using wifi, over last few days, strange?

    Just found out, none of his mates can now sign around Limerick

    Another Boards member posted this handy link in another thread mentioning this latest outtage.

    Also, tried to log in on the xbox.com site hoping to purchase (and queue) the Walking Dead stuff to download later, get an error there too :rolleyes: :(

    ethernet cable & laptop I think could possibly a little more powerful than a wifi connection not sure, could be wrong (probably am)
