Ummmm, yeah....
First, might want to try typing in normal text, all caps like that, especially bold & colored, is usually considered equivalent of shouting when typing.
as to the problem at hand, well if your 360 is connected to the Modem, I'm guessing your talking connected via ethernet wire/cable... thats pretty much as strong a signal your gonna get. unless your using substandard cables or something is wrong with the modem (try shutting it down, let it sit for about 5 minutes, then start the modem again & reconnect the 360), or internet connection coming in from outside to the modem? |

by any chance your capslock of shift key on keyboard busted?
anyways, as I mentioned in my last post, if your using the ethernet cable pretty much no... its a wired signal, not gonna get much stronger than that, unless your using sub standard cabling with poor insulation or some sort of interference, OR, if the Modem is not sending the proper signal, which as I stated reboot the modem & that might fix it, otherwise might need a new modem. also if the signal coming into the place, from outside, or wiring inside house/building, might have a leak interference or something.
but assuming there's nothing wrong with any of that, then as far as wired connections go its as strong as its going to get.
only thing really to do, if by signal strength your referring to speed of the connection is to boost its speed through your ISP if they offer a higher speed connection. |

Rodent thank you so much for the friendly PM sent, didn't really need one, but oh well... some kind words sent back your way as a "Courtesy" Quote: |

I also questioned the typing since you Do Not Need to type all caps, its basic "common sense" & Etiquette for anyone typing in forums, that you don't need to capslock everything, as I said its the equivalent of shouting on forums, again, too ignorant to take the advice thats your problem, your going to run into many others down the road with same comments. |

Either way, thanks for starting to correct your grammar but you missed the S in Thanks. |
