Also I found this online…





"Xbox Wireless" is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft for connecting 
accessories to Xbox One consoles. Like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Direct, Xbox Wireless 
enables controllers and select headsets to establish a direct wireless 
connection with the console, while avoiding the complexities that come with 
adapters or physical cabling.

hopping?)

With further testing, we may have proven that the Xbox controller changes 5Ghz 
channels. At 10am, we configured nearby AP csc-201e4d-ap2800 to channel 48 
(same as Xbox channel). Standing under the AP, we had a -60dBm, from the xBox.

By 10:12am, the xBox had moved to channel 36.

For what it's worth, a quick acsp neighbors check on one of our dorm AP's shows 
~10 of the same MAC addresses you mentioned: 62:45:b etc.

We took an Ekahau Sidekick spectrum capture of the interference from the Xbox 
One console today.

It looks like twelve, narrow  -75dBm spikes, centered around channel 153 (the 
channel selection changes, after a long time).  It is definitely not classified 
as Wi-Fi by Ekahau … it is clearly an interferer.

This type of interferer is not being detected by Cisco WLC CleanAir, it just 
shows up at (WLC GUI: Monitor \ Rogues \ Unclassified)

In some of our ResLife areas, a resident’s Xbox might be close enough to our 
production access points, for this to trigger frequent Cisco WLC DCA channel 
changes?

Anyone at EDUCause interested in petitioning Microsoft to make their console 
less interfering, by adding the capability to be configured on a single 5GHz 
channel?

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] xBox One Consoles interfering on 5Ghz (channel hopping?)

In our ResLife RF space, there are 2000+ xBox One consoles (MAC begins with 
62:45:b), using the 5Ghz space, on all channels 36 to 165, for … (the 
controller to connect to the console, Windows laptop to connect to the console, 
other?)

We brought an xBox one in to our test lab, and  after noticing that the console 
was  on channel 36, we put a  test Cisco access point (also on channel 36), and 
… the xBox console did not change channels.

One would think that an intelligently designed wireless device would sense that 
there was interference and change the channel to a clearer channel. Apparently 
not. Instead the xBox One just randomly changes 5GHz channels, after a period 
of time?

We looked through all the configuration screens of the 2013 model xBox One, and 
there was nothing for a 5Ghz channel setting.  If there were, we would have 
happily configured the xBox console to channel 165 (not in use by our WLAN 
controller dynamic channel allocation.)

Microsoft designed networking hardware. Device designed for home networks, not 
the enterprise. I would not even want one of these xBox One consoles at home, 
intermittently interfering with my home 5Ghz network.

Sahhh.
