choose Your network hardware
consider the following guidelines
when purchasing network hardware:
• Use an Xbox-compatible access
point or router (802.11n is
recommended). for more
information about approved Xbox-
compatible access points or routers,
go to www.xbox.com/networkhelp.
• Some Xbox-compatible routers
are dual band (2.4-GHz/5-GHz).
using a dual-band router lets you
configure your console to achieve
maximum bandwidth and the
best possible connection. for
more information, go to
www.xbox.com/networkhelp.
• When using a dual-band access
point or router, make sure the
2.4-GHz and 5-GHz networks have
unique network names (ssids).

Make Your Wireless
network secure
because wireless networks use
radio signals, it is possible for
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 minimizes the strength of the
signal outside your home.
• Enable wireless security on your
router or access point. Your
wireless networking adapter
supports WPA, WPA2, 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.
