If it sometimes works, then maybe something is interfering with the
wireless network.

Are you able to co locate the router and one of the wireless devices and
switch off anying that might cause interference?
Also uk.telecom.broadband is a more relevant ng as it tends to include home

If the Xbox can't get an IP address, is the router DHCP server switched

Also why is the Xbox asking for an access point? Does it have a router
