CONTINUAL DISCONNECTION OF WIRELESS CONNECTION There are a few things that can cause you to lose wireless connection with your wireless router. 1. Weak signal strength, check the signal strength on your wireless card. If it is weak move the wireless router away from brick or concrete walls and if possible locate the wireless router higher up. 2. Have you secured your wireless router from people near your from unauthorized access? i.e. change the default password, setup encryption use WPA2 or WPA, change the default SSID, and turn off SSID broadcast, and for added protection, enable MAC address filtering which allows only the MAC address/es of your wireless card/s to connect to your wireless router. 3. You could be getting interference from electrical sources such as air conditioners, arc welders, washing machines etc. If so, the power supply to the wireless routers and computers etc should be connected to a surge protection power board, better still connect your computer equipment to an UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply). 4. Check the channels of the wireless routers and access points in your area and change the broadcast channel on your wireless router to an unused channel or one that is currently used but has the weakest signal strength. This will minimize interference with your wireless router from other wireless routers and access points in your area.

Unfortunately, the SMC d3gn wireless component is not reliable. I have traded modems at the request of Rogers and am having the same problem. The solution is to disable the wireless function of the SMCD3GN and attach your own wireless modem. Help us get rid of the SMCD3GN @

Reset it and use the factory default PW.
NOTE: You will also have to set up your WAN again.

Normaly you do not need to open any ports for XBOX LIVE, XBOX LIVE uses the web connection that you'r XBOX uses to connect to the internet, unless you are using something i don't know, my son is using XBOX LIVE and i never had to open any ports on my router/fierwall.

if you can't remember the login for the SMC just reset it to factory, then login with SMC default user and password
