Time Capsule is Currently Incompatible with XBox Wireless

I have purchased Time Capsule for its wireless functionality. However, when I went to connect my Xbox 360 to the Time Capsule, I ran into some connection issues. My Xbox could not connect with the Time Capsule.

To the forums I went, and I found out some disheartening information. Time Capsule is currently incompatible with the Xbox wireless adapter. No one is able to use the Xbox wireless adapter with their Time Capsule unless they force Time Capsule to broadcast at 802.11b, and without WAP2 security. Since these two settings were undesirable, I decided to connect my Xbox with an Ethernet cord to my Time Capsule.

So who is to blame? Apple? No, Microsoft. The wireless adapter needs to be updated to support WAP2 security. Since it does not support that technology, I cannot secure my Time Capsule and play Xbox 360 Live at the same time. But WAP2 is a necessary technology. Former wireless security measures do not secure the network nearly as well. It is time for Microsoft to get their products up to date.

Upgraded to Leopard

It is going well so far. I have successfully upgrade my iMac, PowerBook and MacBook to Apple Mac OS X Leopard. I like Leopard a lot. Safari 3 seems to be faster in Leopard than in Tiger. I like the new desktop features--a new-looking dock and especially Stacks. Also, Quick Look in Finder is a very helpful deal. Time Machine has successfully backed up all three computers and my information is protected on a 1 TB Time Capsule. Mail seems to be doing just fine. I was having difficulties with Gmail's IMAP with Mail 2 in Tiger, but Mail 3 in Leopard seems to have it down good. It is still early on; there is plenty of time to find frustrations with this system. But overall it is going well and I am enjoying the upgrade.
