Xbox 360 Wi-Fi HDTV
Are you interested in using your Xbox 360 to watch HDTV streamed via Wi-Fi? Well, it’s doable, but there are obstacles to overcome.
First of all, you can’t use 802.11b. Just not enough bandwidth. This leaves 802.11a or 802.11g. But there are advantages to 802.11a:
First off, if you can use an 802.11a router, you’re less likely to have interference from other radio signals. The 802.11a routers run at 5 Ghz, while the 802.11b & g routers run on the 2.4 Ghz spectrum, making them more succeptable to interferance. You can also try different radio channels on your router to see if that helps.
One day I’ll have wi-fi…

Henning, thanks for picking up on this. We’ll have an update by the end of the week as we went shopping for an 802.11a router this past weekend! I have an aversion to running Cat-5 in the house now that it’s already built!
