Xbox live problems

I am having trouble with my xbox live connection. Particularly yellow connections on MW3. I never had this problem with my old router I used to get full bars. It only started happening with the plusnet router.
Are there any settings where I can optimize the xbox live connection especially for COD.
Thanks.

Re: Xbox live problems

when did you change over?  Can you let us know what gateway you are on:

Re: Xbox live problems

Thanks for your swift reply. Here are the gateway results :
"You are currently connected to the gateway known as pcl-ag06.
This is located in City Lifeline House."
And the line was activated on the 9th of January 2013.
Thank you

Re: Xbox live problems

Any reason why you switched routers?

Re: Xbox live problems

Sorry for the confusion. By old router I meant the one provided by my old ISP. I have only used the Plusnet router since I joined.
@Tom - I did a pingtest and it came to 13ms with 0% packet loss.

Re: Xbox live problems

Hi there,
Your connection and ping times look fine. When you mention 'full bars' is this your wireless signal that you're referring to? If it is it may be worth trying to change your <a href="http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/wireless_broadband/wireless_signal.shtml">wireless settings</a> and see if this helps.

Re: Xbox live problems

Hi chris, the bars mentioned are the in-game ping bars, this random dropping to 2 yellow bars when are uk friends are hitting 4 full green bars,  is the same thing i was talking about in my thread. Seems fine now though...weather maybe i dont know will keep an eye on it. All call of duty games have them, apart from cod 2 which uses proper numbers, hope that helps.
