About the Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter

The Xbox 360 Wireless N Networking N Adapter is compatible with both the original Xbox 360 console and the Xbox 360 S console. If you connect the adapter to an Xbox 360 S console, it will disable the internal wireless N feature of the console. (Using the external adapter may improve signal strength and bandwidth if your wireless access point is far from your console.)

How to connect the Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter

To connect the Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter to your Xbox console, follow these steps:
  1. Attach the Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter to the back of your Xbox 360 console by snapping the plastic tabs on the adapter into the slots on the back of your console. Note The Xbox 360 S console doesn’t have these slots because the console has internal wireless capability. However, in some cases, the Wireless N Networking Adapter will offer better range and bandwidth compared with the internal wireless feature of the Xbox 360 S console. If you are using the Wireless N Networking Adapter with the Xbox 360 S console, extend the feet of the adapter to allow the adapter to sit on the console or off to the side.

Broadcast

In general, to broadcast information is to transmit it to many receivers. For example, a radio station broadcasts a signal to many listeners, and digital TV subscribers receive a signal that is broadcast by their TV provider. In computer networking, broadcasting is the process of sending data packets to multiple recipients all at once. For instance, a local area network can be configured so that any device on the network can broadcast a message to all the others. When a networked device wants to broadcast, it transmits a data packet to the network's broadcast address . The network hardware, such as routers or switches, does the work of sending the packet to every other device in the group. The group of eligible devices is called a broadcast domain . This type of communication is also called all-to-all , because every device can transmit a message simultaneously to every other device. Broadcast networking is supported by IPv4, the network protocol used by most of toda...

We my not have to disconnect from the Internet to make a phone call anymore, but Wi-Fi problems persist. Here are some of the common issues you will run into and how to fix them. Internet speeds and Wi-Fi have both improved significantly over the last several years. Data speeds are faster across the board and wireless connections are more reliable than ever. However, Wi-Fi isn't without issue. Hang out at a Starbucks long enough and you can experience it firsthand. Slow connection Despite faster speeds reaching most homes around the globe, wireless (and often wired) networks can get bogged down. If your Internet connection is still working but the speeds are slower than normal, there is usually a logical explanation that can usually be fixed. Cause: The most obvious problem with Wi-Fi speeds slowing down is being too far from the router. The further you are from the router, the more unreliable the connection and its throughput will become. Fix: To fix t...
