How could i fix the problem with the router

You need to go into your router's settings and forward the ports to the IP address that your xbox is on OR place the xbox IP into DMZ.

I do however think the problem is from the fall update. My 1st 360 worked perfect until the update and this one is now freezing after the update as well


MANY people are having the issues with the "brick update". Read Amazon Xbox360 reviews to see what I mean.

The consensus is NOT to update your Xbox360 until Microsoft has this sorted out.

From what I understand, the update was partially meant to "brick" the systems that are modded/illegal. The person then has to send it in and pay big $$$ to unbrick it......The problem is that even normal "legal" Xbox360s are being affected, and thus the bug.

I have the same problem but it happens only on NFS:MW and NFS: Carbon. I don't get any redlights, those two games just freeze randomly.
