network basics

About Wireless Networking

Your Microsoft® Broadband Networking Xbox® Wireless Adapter communicates by radio transmission. Radio waves travel in all directions, and can be transmitted through walls and ﬂ oors. This chapter on wireless connections explains wireless network types and provides important information about wireless performance and security.

Types of Wireless Networks

There are two types of wireless networks: infrastructure and ad hoc.

In an infrastructure network, a wireless adapter connects to a wireless network through a central wireless access point, gateway, or router, such as a Microsoft Wireless Base Station. This type of network is often used when a broadband Internet connection will be shared among computers and devices. In an infrastructure network, for example, a computer on the network can access email while an Xbox console accesses the Xbox Live™ online game service. The following illustration shows an example of an infrastructure network.

Active Internet connection

Broadband modem

Computer

Wireless router

Xbox console

Page 12

In an ad hoc network, a wireless adapter connects directly to another wireless adapter that is set up on another device. For example, an ad hoc network is used for console-to-console (System Link) gameplay. In this type of network, a broadband Internet connection is not shared and the connection to the other

video game system is typically temporary. The following illustration shows

Xbox an example of an ad hoc network.

First Xbox console

Second Xbox console

You can use the same adapter to connect to different networks (and different types of networks) at different times. For example, you might use your adapter to connect to an infrastructure network at home most of the time (for Xbox Live play), but occasionally, you might use your adapter to set up a temporary ad hoc network for System Link play with a friend. You can use this adapter to connect to both Microsoft and non-Microsoft wireless devices.

Placement of Wireless Components

The following placement recommendations will help you achieve the best wireless range, coverage, security, and connection speed from your wireless devices:

Place wireless components in direct line of sight to one another, if possible.

If you notice poor signal strength on your wireless adapter, try moving your Xbox console a few inches in any direction or adjusting the antenna on the adapter. Because of the way in which radio waves travel, small areas within the network range sometimes receive poor coverage.

Place wireless components on desks or shelves when possible (instead of on the ﬂ oor) to avoid obstacles and achieve better reception on the upper stories of buildings.

Avoid placing wireless components in such a way that large, solid objects block the direct path between them. Fireplaces, concrete or masonry walls and ﬂ oors, metal framing, mirrors, UV window ﬁ lm, metallic paint, and other building components may reduce radio signal strength.

6 Microsoft Broadband Networking Xbox Wireless Adapter User’s Guide

Page 13

Avoid placing wireless components next to large metal objects such as computer cases, monitors, and appliances. Metal objects reduce signal strength.

Avoid placing wireless components close to electromagnetic devices, especially those with frequencies in the 2.4-gigahertz (GHz) range. Devices such as cordless phones, microwave ovens, radios, and televisions can interfere with wireless transmission.

If you notice poor connection speed in an area, try moving your wireless components closer together. Connection speeds will be slower if your wireless components are very far apart from each other on the network.

Be aware that wireless signal range, speed, and strength can be affected by interference from neighboring wireless networks.

Understanding Wireless Transmission Standards

802.11 is a series of wireless transmission standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for wireless local area networks. Currently, four speciﬁ cations make up the 802.11 series: 802.11, 802.11a,

802.11b, and 802.11g. The Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter conforms to the latest speciﬁ cation, 802.11g. The main features that distinguish these speciﬁ cations are connection speed and radio frequency.

The following table summarizes the four speciﬁ cations in the 802.11 series.

Speciﬁ cation Connection speed Radio frequency band

802.11 1 or 2 megabits per second (Mbps) 2.4 GHz

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 The beneﬁ t of the 2.4-GHz radio frequency band is that it allows for greater range than the 5-GHz band. The drawback is that it is more susceptible to interference from other devices, such as 2.4-GHz cordless telephones.

Because 802.11b and 802.11g use the same radio frequency band, your Xbox wireless adapter is compatible with 802.11b devices. However, when you transfer data between 802.11b and 802.11g devices, the connection speed is limited to the 802.11b maximum of 11 Mbps.

Note The Xbox wireless adapter is not compatible with 802.11a-only devices.

Chapter 2: Network Basics 7

Page 14

Making Your Wireless Transmissions More 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 trafﬁ c. To help prevent unauthorized connections or the possibility of eavesdroppers listening in on your network trafﬁ c, do the following:

If you have a router, base station, or gateway, place it toward the center of your home. This decreases the strength of the signal outside your home.

Enable wireless security on your wireless network. Your Xbox wireless adapter supports 64-bit and 128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security. We recommend using the highest level of security supported by your other wireless networking devices. When you enable wireless security, you establish a key that scrambles or “encrypts” the data that is wirelessly transmitted so that it is decipherable only by computers that have the correct key. In addition, only users who know the network key can connect to your network and use your Internet connection.

Restore the factory defaults on the wireless adapter. Use a pointed object to press and release the Restore button on the back of the adapter. The Power light ﬁ rst blinks green and orange, then turns solid orange. Wait for the Power light to turn solid green.

Note Restoring factory defaults to the adapter will override your current adapter settings and will return the adapter password to the default, admin.

I receive an error message during setup that my security key is incorrect.

Check the security setting on your wireless router or second Xbox console.

The key needs to be the same on every computer and device on your network. See your router documentation for information about how to check the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key. When you enter this security setting, make sure that you type the key exactly as it appears. It is case sensitive. For 64-bit encryption, the WEP key is either ﬁ ve or 10 characters in length. For 128-bit encryption, the WEP key is either 13 or 26 characters in length.

Disable and then re-enable wireless security on your wireless router or second Xbox console. Try using a different security level and a new security

key. Make sure that all of your network devices are set to use the same security level and key.

The Power light on my adapter won’t stop blinking when I update the adapter ﬁ rmware.

Reset the adapter. Unplug the adapter from the power supply, and then plug it in again. The Power light will ﬁ rst turn orange. Wait for the Power light to turn green. Try updating the ﬁ rmware again.

Check for range issues. You might be out of range of your wireless network. Place your Xbox console in the same room as your wireless router or second Xbox console, and try again.

Check for interference issues. Your wireless connection might be getting interference from other wireless devices. Move the other devices (such as cordless phones) further from your wireless network, and refrain from using them while you are using the network. To minimize interference from another wireless network, try changing channels. Pick a channel that is at least three channels away from a channel used by a neighboring network. For more information about conﬁ guring your wireless settings, see your router documentation.

The signal strength is listed as “Very Low” or “Low.”

Adjust the antenna on your adapter or router. Start with the antenna pointing upward and away from any adjacent cables. Certain areas, such as directly below the antenna, get relatively poor reception. Pointing the antenna toward another wireless component does not improve reception.

Check for range issues. You might be out of range of your wireless network. Place your Xbox console in the same room as your wireless router or second Xbox console, and try again.

For more information about placing your wireless devices for optimal performance, see Chapter 2, “Network Basics.”

Connected,” see the earlier Troubleshooting topic “The wireless status is listed as ‘Not Connected’.”

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting 11

Page 18

Check whether computers on your network can connect to the Internet. If the Wireless Status screen displays the connection status as “Connected,” but computers on your network can’t connect to the Internet, the problem may be with the Internet connection. Make sure that you are using the correct type of cable between your router and modem, that the cable is ﬁ rmly attached, and that all status lights on the network devices indicate that your connections are receiving power and functioning properly.

Reset your broadband modem. Unplug or turn off the modem. Wait at least 10 seconds, and then plug it in or turn it on. Wait for the modem to connect to your Internet service provider (ISP). This might take a couple of minutes. After the status lights on your modem indicate that it is connected, and the status lights on your wireless router show that you have a working Internet connection, try connecting to Xbox Live again.

Reset your router, base station, or gateway. Unplug or turn off the wireless router, wait at least 10 seconds, and then plug it in or turn it on. When the status lights indicate that the router is ready, try connecting to Xbox Live again.

Update your router ﬁ rmware. Firmware is the software that is built into your router to provide network functions. You can update your router ﬁ rmware by downloading the most recent version from the manufacturer’s Web site. For information about updating your router ﬁ rmware, see your router documentation.

My Xbox Live games are running slowly.

Decrease your network trafﬁ c. Your network has a limited amount of bandwidth for transmitting data. While you play Xbox Live games, quit any computer programs that use this bandwidth. For example, avoid streaming audio or video or transferring large ﬁ les between computers on your network while you play Xbox Live games.

Contact your ISP. If you are experiencing problems accessing the Internet from the computers on your network, verify that there are no problems with your Internet connection, such as scheduled maintenance or server problems. If you are still not satisﬁ ed with your connection speed, you might want to inquire about upgrading to a faster connection.

Regulatory Information

United States Radio and TV Interference Regulations

This device complies with Part 15 of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

The Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter can radiate radio frequency (RF) energy. If not installed and used in strict accordance with the instructions given in this User’s Guide, the Xbox Adapter may cause harmful interference with other radio-communications devices (for example AM/FM radios, televisions, baby monitors, cordless phones, etc.). Any cable that is connected to the device must be a shielded cable that is properly grounded. There is, however, no guarantee that RF interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Your Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter has been tested, and it complies with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the speciﬁ cations in Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful RF interference in a residential installation.

To determine if your Xbox Wireless Adapter is causing interference to other radio-communications devices, disconnect the device from your Xbox console. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Xbox Adapter. If the interference continues after you disconnect the Xbox Adapter, turn the Xbox console off and then on again. If this Xbox Wireless Adapter does cause interference, try the following measures to correct it:

O Relocate the antenna of the other radio-communications device (for example AM/FM Radios,

televisions, baby monitors, cordless phones, etc.) until the interference stops.

O Move the Xbox Adapter farther away from the radio or TV, or move it to one side or the other of the radio

or TV.

O Plug the Xbox console into a different power outlet so that the Xbox Adapter and radio or TV are on

different circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.

O If necessary, ask your dealer or an experienced radio-TV technician for more suggestions. You may

ﬁ nd helpful information about interference issues at the following FCC Web site: http://www.fcc.gov/ cgb/consumerfacts/interference.html, or call the FCC at 1-888-CALL FCC to request from the operator

For example, Internet (HTTP) communication, by default, travels over port 80. To help ensure security, all other ports are blocked from transferring data unless you speciﬁ cally conﬁ gure those ports to “forward” incoming data to other locations.

Acronym for “Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet.” A speciﬁ cation for connecting users on a network to the Internet by using a broadband connection.

A set of rules and conventions for sending information over a network. These rules govern the content, format, timing, sequencing, and error control of messages exchanged among network devices. For example, your computer connects to the Internet using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/ IP).

A device (also known as a base station or gateway) that acts as a central point for networked devices, receiving and forwarding data between them. A router typically is a point of connection that sends data between several networks. It often can be programmed with rules about what data is acceptable to send and receive.

The strength of the wireless signal. The signal strength between two wireless devices decreases the farther apart you place the devices.

Acronym for “Service Set Identiﬁ er,” also known as a “wireless network name.” An SSID value uniquely identiﬁ es your wireless network and is case sensitive.

A static Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique identiﬁ er that is assigned permanently to a computer by a network administrator or an Internet service provider (ISP). IP addresses are required in order for computers to ﬁ nd one another and communicate over the Internet. Contrast with “dynamic IP address.”

Similar in form to an Internet Protocol (IP) address, a subnet mask is provided by your Internet service provider (ISP) and used to conﬁ gure a networked computer for proper communication with a network. An example of a subnet mask value is 255.255.0.0.
