Will VR ever be released on the Xbox One?

HTC just announced a revised Vive that ships with a wireless tether system. Maybe we'll see an Xbox One MR wireless adapter announced at E3 now.Click to expand...

are you sure? I know there is a 3rd party company that released a wireless adapter... but it's still pretty bulky and cumbersome. Still, a step in the right direction. I think we will see proper wireless headsets sooner than later.

Have you tried going to Networking Settings under the System settings and checked to see if any other wireless networks popped up? If not then I'd suggest manually adding your wireless network in and seeing what happens.

Gabriel can you try disconnecting the wireless adapter and open the app?
If that works, connect the wireless adapter with the app opened.

By the way, is this wireless adapter the Xbox Wireless adapter? Or is a Bluetooth adapter?

Hi,

Which adapter are you using? The white or black external adapter or the Xbox360S internal adapter? That router is certainly a problem I have it listed here:-

I'm sorry that you're having trouble with your Xbox 360 wireless adapter. A flashing green light indicates that the adapter is attempting to connect to a wireless network. When you try to connect to your wireless network, does the console prompt you to connect
an Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter, or does it recognize the adapter but display no wireless networks in the list?
