6 Microsoft Broadband Networking Xbox Wireless Adapter User’s Guide
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
Xbox
®
video game system is typically temporary. The following illustration shows
an example of an ad hoc network.
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:
O Place wireless components in direct line of sight to one another, if possible.
O
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.
O
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.
O
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.
