Xbox 360 wireless capability not so capable with Apple?
Following up on a complaint that was posted at the Apple forums, a disgruntled and slightly confused Xbox 360 owner found that, among other things, his console isn’t compatible with Apple’s 802.11n Airport Extreme Base Station. And no, this isn’t another Apple vs. Microsoft issue.
As time passed, Jamie Green, the complainant, figured out that if he disabled the Wi-Fi security protocols, only then does the Xbox 360 recognize the network. What’s notable is that one participant, Warren Hoffman, claims his Wii and the Playstation 3 can recognize the APX secure network.
Microsoft support claims that Apple’s routers are not recommended for Xbox Live, although there are also claims of reports that D-Link and Linksys router owners have complained about Xbox 360 issues, too.
Perhaps the old wired solution is a sure-fire way to get connected for those Xbox 360 users. Wired networks have wider bandwidths, anyway. And perhaps Microsoft can resolve this issue like last time.
