Ok its best to tackle this one in stages as it could be a few things. First up your router (and firmware) is live certified meaning you don't need to forward any ports or anything like that and by doing that it can actually cause more issues. So the first thing I would do is:-

• Take note of any settings you want to keep on the router like your wireless SSID, encryption passphrase etc etc. PPPoE information
• Go into the router settings and choose to "Reset to Factory defaults" WARNING this will erase all of your router settings and put it back to how it came when you unboxed it, so ensure you have all of your details you need before doing this
• After the router is factory reset, login to it again and ensure UPnP is enabled
• Set your Xbox IP address to auto (not static/manual)
• Power off and on the router
• Power off and on the Xbox

That is the best set-up for your router so try that and see how that works out first.

After factory restoring my router's settings to default and making sure my Xbox was set to automatic I have successfully connected to Xbox live. So far it's been about 10 minutes, I put a netflix movie on to make sure its using internet access constantly and I haven't been signed out yet.

So far i'm signed into both online network services and no issues. I know I had both consoles working fine when I bought this router, but I had difficulty staying in xbox parties and chats. I got an error that said something like d0000034. This issue had happened in the past though and i'm not sure if it will happen again.

Good Luck
