SYMPTOMS
When you set up the Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter, the wireless adapter must be manually connected to detected networks.



CAUSE
This behavior is by design and is a change from previous behavior. The wireless adapter used to connect to the strongest unsecured wireless network that the adapter detects. Now you must manually select a network to connect to.



THINGS TO TRY
 Select the network that you want to connect to. To do this, follow these steps:  In the System section of the Xbox Dashboard, select Network Settings. Select Edit Settings. On the Basic Settings tab, select the network that you want to connect to on the Wireless Network Settings list.

Note You can only plug the Xbox 360 wireless adapter into the rear USB port and not into the USB port on the front of the console.
