I have Comcast cable internet and an arris touchstone modem. This modem is connected to a netgear wpn824 wireless router.My desktop computer is connected to the back my router and my xbox 360 is wirelessly connected to my router. The problem i have is when i am on xbox live playing games My internet explorer will not work. My dad will try to load a web page or go to a website and it just sits there. Then eventually it says that internet explorer cannot display the page. But once i turn off my xbox 360 my internet works perfectly.I have already contacted netgear support and they couldnt figure it out. They told my to contact xbox but my xbox works fine so they couldnt help me.I was wondering if anyone could help with this problem

It sounds like the Xbox is tying up the router with constant communication. If it was me I would contact the Xbox people. But I have a 'suspicion' that it's just the way the Xbox works. But if it is an Xbox problem, it's possible that a firmware update might fix it.

If you have less than 1.5 Mps Internet access your xbox is taking all the bandwidth.
