Segmenting Your Network For Optimal Xbox 360 Media Center Performance
I have always admired the prowess that my friend Jake Ludington has when it comes to digital media. This guy knows his stuff. After fiddling around with my network to get my Xbox 360 running off of it’s own segment along with the Media Center PC, and separating all other network traffic onto it’s own segment, I found that things were much improved as it pertained to streaming high-definition content from my Media Center PC to the Xbox 360. Jake put together a nice tutorial on how to do this, and he isn’t even using 802.11a:
802.11a is the standard Microsoft is recommending, but it’s not necessary. My own home network is segmented with an Xbox 360 on one 802.11g access point and all other wireless devices are on a second 802.11g access point. My wired Media Center successfully streams the 1080p HD content available from Microsoft’s WMV HD Showcase without any hiccups.
Hardcore. Head on over to Jake’s tutorial for the full article.
