Microsoft XBOX 360 Mode D'emploi page 9

An 802.11g wireless network is
2
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.
If you use wireless controllers,
3
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.
