Xbox One Wireless AC Adapter

High Octane 572 · Aug 14, 2014

I'm aware of the Linksys Wireless AC bridge, but I'm curious as to when Microsoft is going to come out with an official wireless AC adapter for the Xbox One. I'm itching to utilize it now that I got the beast of a router that is the WRT1900AC.

I personally think Microsoft will wait a year minimum to release a slim console that would include AC wifi.

How to charge your Xbox Wireless Headset

You should charge your wireless headset overnight before you start using it for the first time. You can charge your wireless headset using a USB charging cable or an AC power adapter.

To charge with a USB charging cable, connect one end of the headset charging cable to your wireless headset and plug the other end into a USB port on your Xbox 360 console. You have to turn on your console to charge the headset.

To charge with an AC power adapter, plug it into an electrical outlet and connect the other end to the wireless headset.

Note: When you connect the AC power adapter with your headset, the connection (if any) between the headset and console will be interrupted.

At the time of charging, the lights on your wireless headset flash one at a time, and then turn off. But when the headset is fully charged, all four lights blink together.

The headset beeps when the battery is low.

If your headset beeps two times, it means that 30 minutes of battery life remains.

If it beeps three times, 5 minutes of battery life remains.

Wondering if a wirless AC adapter would work with my xbox 360 or the xbox 1 (hopfully both)

Wondering if a wireless AC adapter would work on my xbox 360 or the xbox 1 I am in the process of updating my entire wireless network. I am planning to go with the ASUS (RT-AC68U) Wireless-AC1900 Dual-Band Gigabit Router. I would like to know as the xbox
360 slim does not support 5.0ghz network. would I be able to buy an Ac adapter that would let my xbox take advantage of the speeds I am about to get also would this work for the New xbox 1 as I know it will support 5.0ghz wireless N but im not sure about the
wireless AC standard. In the end would I be able to buy an adapter that would allow me to take advantage of the speeds from the new wireless AC standard?

No, you cannot use third party wireless adapter with the 360 or X1. And if the router is dual band, then it should have both 2.5 and 5ghz modes to support both. As for the AC adapter, it's pointless to go AC unless your speed increase demands it. You'll
still only get the maximum throughput your ISP gives you regardless if you have a N or AC adapter. What speed are you getting increased to?

Hello, just thought I would ask if your using batteries to power the Wheel or the AC adapter? As Only the AC adapter will allow force feedback and active resistance to work. The Batteries only allow for the Wireless Driving ability, but will disable the
other features as a method of conserving power.

There are two different Xbox One wireless adapters.
The older, bigger one is able to support Windows 7, 8, and 10.
The newer, smaller one only supports Windows 10.

Hello!

It does sound like the AC adapter is having issues. When unplugging the power cord I find the orange light stays lite for a while before going out for the Xbox's that I've owned. If you have a friend that has an Xbox One you could see if you can borrow
it real quick to rule out the AC adapter.

Unsure if Xbox Support sends them out for free or not but if it is the AC adapter you can reach out to Xbox Support and check.

Hope this helps!

"This wireless adapter was made for the original Xbox to connect to Xbox LIVE, though it is compatible with the Xbox 360. The main problem with it that I was not initially aware of is the fact that it
only supports WEP encryption. If your wireless router uses
WPA (ed. note, or WPA2), it will not work". - as per

www.amazon.com/.../B00005QBX9 which had other helpful hints there such as "unlike the Xbox 360 wireless adapter, you need an AC adapter to supply power to it, as well as a CAT-5 cable which plugs into the 360's Ethernet port."
and "1. Do not use the disk that comes in the box.

2. Just plug it in, go to 'settings' and put in your encryption key if you have one, if not just leave it alone.

3. Try more than once. For some weird reason it only worked at the second try."
