xbox 360 lagging when other wireless divices are running
You answered a question on 02-23-2010 stating that they had the xox wired to the modem and to go out and purchase a router. The question was "Why does my xbox lag when other users are on WIRELESS divices. I am having the same problem as I have a router and my xbox in wired and as soon as some one goes on a WIRELESS laptop or Ipod the xbox laggs and or looses conection completely. I saw some where it has something to do with the NAL connection on my XBOX but with the new NXE dashboard version I can not find that menu and see what it is saying. They say that if it says Moderate or Strict you will have the lagging problem until you fix that. HELP how would I fix that?

Hi, it is doing that because you only have so much bandwidth. Your connection can only support a certain amount of information coming in and going out at once. A router won't make a difference and it doesn't matter if you are using wireless or wired devices, they are all using bandwidth. Wireless devices just send the information through the air instead of through a cord right to the same place. Think of it like a highway. When you are just playing around on the internet, maybe there's a car or two. When you are on xbox live, there's a lot of traffic. When you are on xbox live and downloading a movie, the road is full and things will start to get jammed up because your connection can't handle it. The only way to solve this is to switch to an internet service provider that offers more bandwidth or contact your current provider to see if you can increase it (like adding more lanes to your highway). I know that Time Warner offers better versions of Roadrunner for a slightly higher price. Otherwise, you'll have to turn off your other devices to avoid lag, I don't think there's any way around it. You must either have a really bad connection or you are downloading huge amounts of information while trying to play xbox. Either get a better connection or go a little easier on the downloading.
