According to the IT staff at Morrisville State College , Microsoft ’s Xbox 360 console — without the use of a Wi - Fi adaptor — seems to be interfering with 2.4GHz sign like Wi - Fi and Bluetooth on campus . Aside from loads of anecdotic evidence of computing gadget not link to the school day ’s wireless LAN web and Bluetooth headset needing to physically reach phones to couple , they started analyzing the 2.4GHz spectrum and made an interesting finding .
When study the sign in problem areas , they notice a special , strong signaling that jump all over the 2.4GHz lot … that their diagnostic software labeled as “ unknown emitter . ”
When they secure in an Xbox 360 in a free area , the IT stave was able to re - create the signal . They consider that the interference is coming from Microsoft ’s proprietary wireless touchstone that they apply for the 360 ’s wireless accountant . While it ’s similar to Bluetooth , they designed a system that could be close to third parties … that may now be wee other third parties support .
in person , while I ’ve never had problems with my Wi - Fi , the 360 does n’t get along with my wireless surround sound headphones as the PS3 . I could n’t estimate out why this was happening , but chalk it up to my own meshwork mannerism . Anyone out there have similar problems ? [ pcworld ]
