Wireless controllers and wifi network

[Nod]

Just a question for those with a similar setup.

Will the wireless controller on the XB360 interfere with my wireless network in any way?

no

Okay I read your thread so I felt obliged to give more information.

Highly unlikely

No, the XBox controllers use BlueTooth that's why you need to "Pair" them with your console when you first get them.

You're microwave will mess with your wireless network as they're on the same frequency.

I thought it might not be a problem, just wanted to confirm.

Microwave and wireless network? Good thing then I still have the door somewhere

Juggy you are confused.

The PS3 uses Blue Tooth which causes that annoying pairing with the cable all the time.

The Xbox 360 uses wireless and pairs automatically when it is turned on.

Microsoft has a decade or more experience with wireless 2.4Ghz peripherals.

There are no issues with the 360 controllers.

GM is right, it's the PS3 BT controllers that drop connections and flake out regularly.
