This helps if you can not connect to Xbox Live

If you can not access Xbox Live with your Xbox, this can have several causes. First, it is recommended that you go to "Network Settings" > "Test Network Connection" to test your Internet connection to make sure that your console can connect to Xbox Live. If the problem occurs while the console is connected to the Internet via WLAN, connect your Xbox with a LAN cable instead.
