Connection issue on Xbox 360
I'm having some trouble connecting to the media server from my Xbox 360 through my new router, a TP-Link Archer C7. What happens is that UMS will eventually show in my selection on the 360 (though it is a tad slow and can take several minutes to show up), but when I try to access the 360 will try for 30 seconds or so and then say it failed. Looking at the UMS log, I can't find anything to clue me into what may be wrong.
The only progress I've managed to make is that I've noticed that with UPnP on, UMS doesn't even show up on the 360 at all and I believe the 360 icon in UMS itself is greyed out. With UPnP off, UMS shows up and the 360 is no longer grey. The connection is clearly there, but something's not letting me actually access the server. I managed to fiddle with router settings (basically just turning off every fancy wifi feature I don't need because I don't run a lot of wifi in my house) on sunday and actually got everything working and media streaming. On sunday afternoon, everything was running and so I turned it all off and did other stuff for a while. Came back and turned everything on and I could just stream with no issues. Today, monday, I come back from work with absolutely nothing changed and now the server won't let me back on again seemingly no matter what I try. The PC and UMS itself hadn't even rebooted since it last worked, only the 360 had.
Don't know what else to add since I am, obviously, not very knowledgable about this stuff, but I did attach my debug log. All I know is that a life without being able to end my night with one of my favorite shows is the worst and I need urgent help! Thanks!

Re: Connection issue on Xbox 360
It seems that this was maybe a glitch with the router's firmware. It seems that it was impossible to turn WPS off on the previous firmware, and it would still send WPS greetings even when disabled, and this seems to have tripped up UMS. With new firmware and WPS actually off this time, UMS seems to be running fine!
