XBOX 360 will not stay connected to my wireless router

For a while my XBOX360 was connected to the wireless router just fine and never gave me much of an issue. However now it drops it like it's hot. It sporadically will connect to and drop the signal from the router. A friend suggested changing the security protocol of my wireless encryption key (currently using WPA2) as he had read or heard about an incompatibility issue with the console and certain security protocols. I'm wondering if a recent firmware update is the case of this problem, as it was working just fine one day and then decided it didn't want to connect anymore. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

TunerML, I will look at my router settings and see if I can adjust the suggested parameter. I'm assuming beacon interval has something to do with the strength of the signal being broadcast from the router.

armchair_scouse, It happens most often upon startup, It will log me in and then disconnect at any given time, it's usually before I have even attempted to start up a game. This means not even leaving the dash board to be clear.

Haven't had time to test individual solutions therefore I am giving everyone credit and closing the issue until I have the time to investigate.
