(CE marked) Information Technology equipment. No serviceable parts included.
INSTALL THE DRIVER
ConnectyourXboxconsoletoyourhomenetworkusinganEthernet(RJ-45)cable(sold
separately). Follow the on-screen instructions to connect to Xbox LIVE. The update begins
automatically. When the update is complete, disconnect the Ethernet cable, and then attach
your wireless adapter to your console.
ATTACH THE ADAPTER TO YOUR CONSOLE
Your wireless networking adapter attaches directly to the back of your console.
To attach your adapter:
1 Press the tabs on the adapter into the two slots on the back of the
console.
2 Plug the USB connector into the USB port next to the adapter.
Disconnect any cable plugged in to the Ethernet port.
3 Flip up both antennas.
NOTE
The antennas are designed to swivel on only one axis. Do not swivel
the antennas in any direction other than parallel with the adapter.
Do Not Use to Lift Console
Do not use the Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter or its antennas to lift
the console. They could break and the console could fall.
SET UP THE ADAPTER AWAY FROM YOUR CONSOLE
Radiointerferencefromnearbydevicescancausenetworkconnectivity
problems when the adapter is attached to the console.In this case,
connectivity might be improved if you set up the adapter away from the
console using a USB extension cable (sold separately).
To set up the adapter away from your console:
1 Flip up both antennas.
2 Swivel both adapter feet out at a right angle to the adapter.
3 Plug the networking adapter cable into one end of the USB extension cable.
4 Plug the other end of the USB extension cable into the USB port on the back of the console.
5 Set the adapter on its feet in a location that provides the best connectivity with your
network. In some cases, rotating the adapter or changing the antenna orientation can
further improve connectivity.
SET UP A NEW WIRELESS 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 a home wireless network yet, you’ll want to make a
fewdecisionsbeforeyousetoneup.Specically,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oors.However,aradiosignalweakensrapidlyasittravelsthroughstoneandbrick.
Metalobjects,suchasrefrigeratorsandmirrors,reectradiosignals,interferingwithstraight-path
communication.
!
CAUTION
This product is restricted to indoor use only to reduce any potential for harmful interference
withlicensedoperationinthe5.15-to5.25-GHzfrequencyrange.
Choose a Wireless Network Standard
The Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter conforms to all four current wireless network
standards(802.11a,802.11b,802.11g,and802.11n),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 band.
Standard Connection speed Frequency band
802.11a Faster 5GHz
802.11b Fast 2.4GHz
802.11g Faster 2.4GHz
802.11n Fastest 2.4GHz/5GHz
When selecting your wireless network, keep a few guidelines in mind:
1 The5-GHzstandards(802.11aand802.11n)arelesssusceptibletointerferencefromcommon
devicessuchas2.4-GHzcordlesstelephones,cellphones,andmicrowaveovens.Also,because
ofthepopularityof2.4-GHznetworks,a5-GHznetworkislesslikelytoexperienceinterference
from neighboring wireless networks.
2 An802.11nnetworkiscompatiblewithallfour802.11standards,andan802.11gnetworkis
compatiblewithboth802.11gand802.11bdevices.However,any802.11bdevicesoperating
onyour802.11n/gnetworkwillslowitdown.Ifyouhaveadual-band(2.4-GHzand5-GHz)
access point or router, try operating your console and wireless networking adapter in the
5-GHzband(802.11aor802.11n)andyourotherdevicesinthe2.4-GHzband(802.11band
802.11g).TheXbox360consoleinthiscongurationwillhavethemaximumbandwidth,while
remaining networked with other devices.
3 Ifyouusewirelesscontrollers,youmaygetbetterperformanceusingthe5-GHzbandforyour
networkconnection,sincethewirelesscontrollersoperateinthe2.4-GHzband.
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congure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
trafc.Tohelppreventunauthorisedconnectionsandreducethepossibilityofeavesdroppers
listeninginonyournetworktrafc:
• Locateyourrouteroraccesspointtowardthecentre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.
CONNECT TO YOUR NEW WIRELESS NETWORK OR AN EXISTING
WIRELESS NETWORK
Connecting your Xbox 360 console to a new or existing
wireless network is easy as long as you know what your
wireless network settings are. Use the spaces provided
under“YourNetworkSettings”towritedownthese
settings before you begin.
NOTE
Youcanndmostofyourwirelessnetworksettingson
the set-up screens for your wireless access point or
router. The device documentation will have instructions for accessing these screens. If your
network was set up by someone else, contact the installer for a user name and password to
access the set-up screens.
To connect your console to a wireless network:
1 Turn on your console and any wireless networking devices (such as access points or routers).
2 Attach the wireless networking adapter to the back of your console (see “Attach the Adapter
toYourConsole”)orsetitupawayfromyourconsole(see“SetUptheAdapterAwayfrom
YourConsole”).
3 Theconsolewillrecognisetheadapterandleadyouthroughnetworkconguration.Youwill
be asked to enter your wireless network settings.
Onceyou’vecompletednetworkconguration,theconsoleshouldbeconnectedtoyour
wireless network.
Your Network Settings
Usethissectiontorecordyournetworksettings.Ifyouareusingboththe2.4-GHzand5-GHz
bands, you must have different network names (SSIDs) for each band. All computers and devices
accessing a network with a wireless connection must use the same wireless network settings.
Workgroup name (if used):
5-GHz (802.11a/n) Network
Wireless network name (SSID):
Wireless security setting:
2.4-GHz (802.11b/g) Network
Wireless network name (SSID):
Wireless security setting:
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 Each console will recognise its adapter and lead you through
networkconguration.Youwillbeaskedtoenternetworksettingsoneachconsole.(They
will be the same for each console.)
Onceyou’vecompletednetworkcongurationonbothconsoles,theyshould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/
networkhelp.
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 Recognise Wireless Networking Adapter
Make sure the power light on the adapter is on. If it isn’t, check the USB connection at the
console. If the adapter is set up away from the console, check the connection between the
networking adapter cable and the USB extension cable. Try disconnecting the cables and
connecting them again.
Signal Is Intermittent
Somewirelessdevicesusingthe2.4-GHzband(includingtheMN-740wirelessadapter
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, moving the console away from the device(s), or setting up the adapter away from the
devices(see“SetUptheAdapterAwayfromYourConsole”).Or,upgradeyourwirelessnetwork
fordual-band(2.4-GHzand5-GHz)operationandsetyouradaptertooperateinthe5-GHz
band for less interference.
Before relocating your console, wireless networking adapter, or wireless access point:
• Imagineastraightlinebetweentheadapterandtheaccesspoint.
• Locateyouradapterandaccesspointsothatasfewobstructionsaspossibleexistalongthe
straight line.
• Allownomorethantwowallsortwooorsbetweentheadapterandtheaccesspoint.
TV Pauses When Used with Console and Windows Media Center
WhenconnectingacomputerrunningWindowsMediaCentertoadual-band(2.4-GHz/5-GHz)
accesspointorrouter,usethe5-GHzband(802.11a/n)forthecomputerandthe2.4-GHzband
(802.11b/g)foryourotherwirelessdevices,suchaslaptopcomputers.
While retaining your wireless connection from your Xbox 360 console to your router, a wired (Ethernet)
connection from your computer to your router is strongly recommended for best performance.
Wireless Security Settings Incorrect
When entering your wireless security settings, remember that WEP keys must be in hexadecimal
(0–9,A–F)format,whileWPA/WPA2passphrasesmaybealphanumeric(consistingofbothletters
and numbers).
Also, an incorrect WEP key can be associated with an open authentication network, but an IP
address will not be received. Enter the correct WEP key to receive an IP address.
Status Light Indications
The status light on the Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter indicates the following:
• Greensteady:Adapterisonandconnectedtoawirelessaccesspoint(infrastructure)or
another wireless device (ad-hoc).
• Greenblinking:Adapterispoweredbutnotconnected,orisconnectingtoanotherwireless
device.
• Redsteady:Hardwarenotrecognised.
