Factually incorrect. The router has nothing to do with it. The NIC on the Xbox cannot obtain a DHCP address and after a timeout period it will assign itself the automatic IP address of 169.x.x.x. The router does not assign it.

Saying that - the OP has a network issue.

Can you plug the xbox direct into the router - bypass anything else and does it then work?
