How to Check Your Wireless Signal on an Xbox 360

The Microsoft Xbox 360 is not only a popular gaming console, it's also a portal to the Internet. Using Xbox Live, you can connect to the Internet and play online games with other people across the world.

If your connection is slow or intermittent, consider testing your Internet connection. If you are using a wireless connection, the signal strength will be displayed when the test is complete.

Instructions

1. Press the "Guide" button on your Xbox 360 controller (the silver button in the center).

2. Select "Dashboard" and press the "Y" button on your controller to enter the dashboard.

3. Scroll over to the "System" tab and press "A."

4. Select "Test Xbox Live Connection," and press "A" to begin the test. Wait for the test to complete, and view your results.

Tips & Warnings

• If your system is not connected, or the connection is weak, double-check your network adapter. Contact Microsoft Xbox Live support if you still have trouble.
