So, before contacting my internet provider, I thought I might as well ask you guys first. Here's my issue.

Yesterday, I moved around my internet connection, so that the router is now downstairs, and my modem is still upstairs. There isn't much issue with this, because it was only to get another cable long enough to reach our Xbox 360, and computer. And this is where the issue has been. Our internet now acts up, a lot, allowing me to go on the internet, but not on msn or xbl. On the modem, it shows all 5 lights, solid, rather then the first three solid, and the last two dancing around.

How can I fix this, so I can use xbl, msn, and the internet..?

Thanks ahead of time, feel free to ask any further questions, I'm sure I could answer them.

So, the modem + xb is plugged into the router, which is downstairs.  The modem is upstairs.  How are the modem and router connected?

And did you see Obama speak at MSU?

They are connected with the common blue cable, that feeds the internet from one thing to another. Trust me, we've have it like this forever, same connection setup, it has something to do with the amount of internet being used.

Is the router wireless?  Have you checked to see that no one is "sharing" your connection?  Does it have an encryption key?  (consider getting one unless you mean for it to be public)

If the above is not a possibility... does the computer have internet access while the xbox is powered off and ethernet/usb/whatever-you-use-to-connect-to-the-internet unplugged?  Can it ping google or anything otherwise?
