Whenever I hook my PS3 or Xbox 360 into my wireless router and try to play games online my wireless network will stop working and I have to reset my modem.

Anyone have any ideas why the hell this is happening and how I can fix it?

There's no reason for this if your router is working correctly.

Do you have some setting to disable wireless if there is a direct connection?

The xbox 360 is the only thing in our house hard wired to the router.

We have five PCs, a Wii, and iTouch wirelessly all working just fine.

Never had this problem. I do the same thing. It sounds like you just need to change the settings on your router

Good for you but it was a pain for me to connect my PS3 with wireless because the system could not configure the system automatically. After 2 hours of frustration I had to input all the numbers manually. Works great now though.

It is the router because it did the same thing with my PS3 (but I just have that done wirelessly).

Although I can't find any setting in the router that would make the other stuff not work (and I really don't wanna buy a wireless adapter.

I have a 360 and Wii connected hard wired and wireless and they both work fine,

Why can't you connect the 360 with wifi instead of having it wired?

Do you have a single router? Or are you using a gateway?

Does your router limit the number of DHCP clients?

New Problem:

Now when I use my PS3 wirelessly it'll work for a few minutes and then all the wireless in my house will go out and I have to reset my router.

Sounds like you need a new router...honestly.

You should contact the manufacturer of the router if anything, but I would probably just replace it than deal with that hassle.

Try reinstalling your router first. Change some settings and do you use custom firmware? If that doesn't work I'd get a new router.

But this is the first router I've had that I've tried to play games on.

Would I be better off to buy my own router than to use the one Comcast provides? I've heard that Comcast's routers are the ones that manufacturers would normally reject...
