HOME NETWORK
Home wireless networks are also
called infrastructure networks. In an
infrastructure network, a wireless
access point, wireless gateway, or
wireless router distributes your
Internet connection to your wireless
home computer and devices. With a
wireless networking adapter, your
console becomes one of the wireless
devices on your home network.

If you don’t have an existing home
wireless network yet, you’ll want to
make a few decisions before you get
started. Specifically, you’ll need to
decide on the wireless standard you’ll
use, the network hardware you’ll
need, and your network security.

Wireless Network Basics
Your wireless networking adapter
communicates by radio transmission.
Radio waves travel in all directions
and can be transmitted through
walls and floors. The radio signal
weakens rapidly as it travels through
structures, especially masonry, such
as stone and brick. Metal objects,
such as refrigerators and mirrors,
reflect radio signals, preventing
straight path communication. The
layout of your home can be a factor
in what wireless network standard
you choose.
Choose a Wireless
Network Standard
The Xbox 360 Wireless Networking
Adapter conforms to all three
current wireless network standards
(802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g), and
so works with networking devices
that support any of these standards.
(802.11 is a series of radio
communication standards developed
by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for
wireless local area networks.) The
main features that distinguish these
standards are connection speed and
radio frequency.

Standard Connection
speed
Radio
frequency
band
802.11a Up to 54 Mbps 5 GHz
802.11b Up to 11 Mbps 2.4 GHz
802.11g Up to 54 Mbps 2.4 GHz
NOTE
Connection speeds are quoted only
in reference to IEEE standards. The
speeds quoted are the maximum
attainable under ideal environmental
conditions and at close distances. In
addition, the standards specify
usable payload data rates that are
less than half the connection speed.
Your usable connection speed will be
significantly lower than the IEEE
standards quoted.
When selecting your wireless network,
keep a few guidelines in mind:
1 The 802.11a standard offers the
same speed as 802.11g. A 5-GHz
band (802.11a) is also less
susceptible to interference from
common devices, such as 2.4-GHz
cordless telephones, cell phones,
and microwave ovens. Further, in
areas where neighboring wireless
networks can be detected,
interference can be a problem.
Because of the limited number of
channels and the popularity of 2.4-
GHz networks, a 5-GHz network is
likely to experience less
interference from a neighboring
wireless network than a 2.4-GHz
network and provide a better
overall wireless connection.
X112996102_man.indd 8 1/19/2006 11:54:38 AM

2 An 802.11g wireless network is
compatible with both 802.11g and
802.11b devices. However, any
802.11b devices operating on your
802.11g network will slow it down.
If you have a dual-band router (with
both 802.11a and 802.11g bands),
try using your Xbox 360 console
and wireless networking adapter
on the 802.11a band and your other
devices on the 802.11g and
802.11b bands. The Xbox 360
console in this configuration will
have the maximum bandwidth
while remaining networked with
other devices on 802.11g or
802.11b.
3 If you use wireless controllers,
you may get better performance
using 802.11a (5-GHz band) for
your network connection, since
the wireless controllers operate
on the 2.4-GHz band.
Choose Your Network Hardware
Consider the following guidelines
when purchasing network hardware:
• Use an Xbox 360 compatible
access point or router (802.11
a+g recommended). For more
information about approved Xbox
compatible access points or routers,
go to www.xbox.com/setup.
• Some Xbox compatible routers
are dual-band a+g (dual-band
2.4-GHz/5-GHz, 802.11a +
802.11g/b). Using a dual-band
router lets you configure your
console to achieve maximum
bandwidth and the best possible
connection. This is particularly
important if you are using
Microsoft® Windows® XP Media
Center or Windows Media
Connect with your console for
activities like watching TV. For
more information, go to
www.xbox.com/pcsetup.
X112996102_man.indd 9 1/19/2006 11:54:39 AM

english
• When using a dual a+g access
point or router, make sure
the 802.11a and 802.11g
networks have unique network
names (SSIDs).
Make Your Wireless
Network Secure
Because wireless networks use radio
signals, it is possible for other
wireless network devices outside
your immediate area to pick up the
signals and either connect to your
network or capture the network
traffic. To help prevent unauthorized
connections and reduce the
possibility of eavesdroppers listening
in on your network traffic:
• Locate your router or access point
toward the center of your home.
This decreases the strength of the
signal outside your home.
• Enable wireless security on your
router or access point. Your
wireless networking adapter
supports WPA and WEP security.
When you enable wireless
security, you establish a key that
“encrypts” the data being
wirelessly transmitted so that it is
decipherable only by computers
with the same key. Furthermore,
WPA automatically changes keys
on a frequent basis, making your
system more secure.

CONNECT YOUR CONSOLE TO ANOTHER CONSOLE
Console-to-console system link
wireless networks are also known as
ad-hoc networks. In ad-hoc networks,
a wireless adapter on one device
connects directly to a wireless
adapter on another device. An
Internet connection isn’t shared with
this type of network, and the
console-to-console system link
connection is typically temporary.
For console-to-console system link
play, you need:
• Two Xbox 360 consoles.
• Two Xbox 360 Wireless
Networking Adapters.
• An Xbox 360 game that supports
system link play.
To wirelessly connect your console
to another console:
1 Attach a wireless networking
adapter to the back of each
console (see “Attach the Adapter
to Your Console”).
2 On each console, go to the System
area to enter your network
settings. (They will be the same
for each console.)
3 If all settings are correct, exit the
System area. The consoles should
now be wirelessly connected to
each other.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you encounter problems, try the
possible solutions provided below.
For help with a game that supports
console-to-console system link play,
see the game’s Web site or
documentation. For help signing up
or connecting to Xbox Live, go to
www.xbox.com/setup.
Console Doesn’t Detect
Wireless Network
You might be out of range of your
wireless network. Place your Xbox
360 console in the same room as
your wireless router or second Xbox
360 console and try again.
Make sure that your router is
broadcasting a wireless network
name (SSID). The wireless router
broadcast of the SSID might be
disabled. See your router
documentation for information about
enabling SSID broadcast.
Console Doesn’t Recognize
Wireless Networking Adapter
Make sure the power light on the
adapter is on. If it isn’t, check the USB
connection. Try disconnecting the
adapter cable and connecting it again.
Signal Is Intermittent
Some wireless devices using the 2.4-
GHz radio frequency band (including
the wireless adapter (MN-740)
designed for the original Xbox
console, most 2.4-GHz phones, some
cell phones, and microwave ovens)
may cause interference with your
wireless networking adapter. If you
experience network performance
issues, try moving your 2.4-GHz
device(s) away from your console (or
vice versa). Or, upgrade your
wireless network for 802.11a/g
operation and set your adapter to
operate on 802.11a, where less
interference and improved
throughput is available.

Before relocating your console or
wireless access point:
• Imagine a straight line between
your Xbox 360 console and the
access point.
• Locate your console and access
point or router so that as few
obstructions as possible exist
along the straight line.
• Allow no more than two walls
or two floors between the
wireless adapter and the central
access point.
TV Pauses When Used
with Console and Windows
Media Center
When connecting a Windows Media
Center-based PC to an 802.11 a+g
access point or router, use 802.11a
for the Windows Media Center-based
PC and 802.11g for your other
wireless devices, such as laptop
computers.
Unable to Save Network Settings
or Password
Restore the factory defaults on the
wireless networking adapter. When
you go to the System area to restore
the factory defaults, the adapter
status light will blink green and red,
and then turn solid red to indicate
that the defaults have been restored.
NOTE
Restoring factory defaults on the
adapter will override your current
adapter settings.
