My XBox stopped connecting to my router without any settings being changed. Everything else I've got connected still works. Any suggestions?

I can't really do anything about it at the moment, though.

Huh. And it is just as mysteriously working again for no apparent reason - Reagen Mar 27, 15:23 9

      - I also roughed up the Wii a little just to show it I meant business. -- nm - Reagen Mar 27, 15:43 3
        
        You should dismantle the toaster and leave the carcass out as a warning for all the other electronics who might be thinking of starting something. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 27, 15:46 2

Have you tried the XBox straight into the modem, bypassing the router? -- nm - amoxy Mar 27, 15:09 3
- Not possible, unfortunately. -- nm - Reagen Mar 27, 15:14 2
  - Is there other equipment coming off the router and are they working fine? -- nm - amoxy Mar 27, 15:18 1
    - yes, as mentioned. -- nm - Reagen Mar 27, 15:19
Unplug the power to the router, then restart it? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 27, 15:07 13
- I'm a little beyond that, thanks. -- nm - Reagen Mar 27, 15:08 12
  - buy a new xbox? - Danedukenuuk Mar 27, 15:13
  - I was gonna suggest the same thing, your post had no mention of you trying this already -- nm - J Mar 27, 15:12 10
    - C'mon, it's like step 0 in tech support. - Reagen Mar 27, 15:15 9
      - Have you check to make sure it's plugged in? Jiggled the wires? Ensured that you haven't plugged the cable into Gilly's Speak and Spell? nm - ralph wiggum Mar 27, 15:25 1
        
        I didn't try wrapping the cable around your neck yet, either. - Reagen Mar 27, 15:27
      - Take out the cupholder? -- nm - nubby Mar 27, 15:20
      - it sucks but reset your router and start from scratch, if that doesn't work that wireless add-on is pooched i'd say - J Mar 27, 15:18 4
        
        It's is wired, through a powerline connection. - Reagen Mar 27, 15:19 3
        
        Do you have a laptop or something to test the powerline with? - Beryllium (iPhone) Mar 27, 15:26 1
        
        *points up* Working again. -- nm - Reagen Mar 27, 15:27
        
        Changed cables with one of the other connections that is working? -- nm - amoxy Mar 27, 15:23
      - best place to start actually -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 27, 15:17
