Better Online Gaming via High Speed Wireless Router

time Posted January 21, 2009 * Comments(0)

by EnGenius

It was only a short fifteen years ago that multiplayer gaming was limited to a box, a television, and a couple of controllers. Today, with the Internet and the proliferation of home networks, multiplayer online gaming has become an exciting new way to experience video games. So of course, the next logical step was for online gaming to go wireless.
This would be a great step for the sake of gamers. EnGenius Wireless Game Adapter ESR-9750 and 9750G give any wired Ethernet-equipped game console wireless connection capabilities. The Game Adapter can be used in two different ways. If you have an existing home wireless network and a cable or DSL Internet connection, the Game Adapter lets your Xbox 360 attach to the network so you can get into online games without running wires to the game room. Or, use a pair of Game Adapters to form a “cable-less cable” between two game consoles for head-to-head gaming — in the same room, or all the way across the house. For the popular Xbox, Microsoft developed the very compact Xbox 360 wireless network adapter. Using this peripheral, you can set up your Xbox 360 in your bedroom; keeping your wireless router in your home office.
No CAT5 cables are needed. In fact, the Xbox wireless network adapter simply plugs into the machine’s USB port. Then, it establishes a connection to your wireless router to allow you access to online gaming, or to your other Xbox devices for system link play. This wireless network adapter has definitely eased the facility of play game at your home solace. However, up until now, wireless technology hasn’t kept up with the need for the smooth streaming media that makes online gaming possible. Often we are left fighting repeated signal dropouts and slow performance.
Let’s face it; your wireless gaming experience is as good as your wireless router. Xbox Wireless adapter has greatly proven its guaranteed approach towards uninterrupted service.
Finally, a new breed of high-speed wireless routers has come onto the market, which significantly strengthens communication with the Xbox 360 wireless adapter and other similar peripherals. These new wireless routers use the greatly improved 802.11n platform, which surpasses the older 802.11a/b and g technology in their ability to handle video streaming and multiple streams of communication and gamers demand. Imagine reliably using Xbox live! over a wireless connection. Leading the pack of new generation wireless routers is the EnGenius ESR-9750 and 9750G. Since 1999, EnGenius Technologies Inc. has been developing leading wireless products for the business market. With the gaming community in mind, they applied their know-how to develop two home wireless routers: ESR-9750 and 9750G. Both use the new 802.11n technology, which alone speeds up wireless connections up to 6x faster than standard 802.11g models. Specifically, the ESR-9750 and 9750G can communicate up to 300mbps (megabits per second), while similar g models top out at around 54mbps. And, both routers can communicate on the 40 MHz bandwidth channels, which has the ability to carry double the data as the commonly used 20 MHz bandwidth.
Wireless range extenders complements this with its strong determined ability to deliver high speed. But speed isn’t the only improvement! Using MIMO (Multiple In, Multiple Out) Technology, the EnGenius wireless routers have three smart antennas that can handle multiple transmissions and, more importantly, can prioritize the data to ensure smooth, uninterrupted communication. For example, the router can mediate the communication between your wireless computer and your Xbox 360 wireless adapter to ensure that neither interferes with the other, which will prevent dropouts or delays. EnGenius has also developed a unique element called the Universal Repeater Feature (commonly known as a wireless range extender), which takes the Smart Antenna Technology one step further by extending its range of wireless communication. The EnGenius’s Wireless Range Extender is the easy way to increase the effective coverage of your wireless network. Unlike adding a traditional access point to your network to expand wireless coverage, the EnGenius’s Wireless Range Extender does not need to be connected to the network by a data cable. Just put it within range of your main access point or wireless router, and it “bounces” the signals out to remote wireless devices. Through the redistribution of an existing wireless signal, this wireless range extender virtually eliminates dead spots in your home! Wherever your Xbox 360 wireless adapter is set up, the ESR-9750 or 9750G can find it. In addition to the wireless range extender, the EnGenius routers have two very unique elements not found on other models in its class. First, the ESR-9750 and 9750G come standard with three of these smart antennas. More antennas mean the router can efficiently handle the influx of more data; this is important when you are gaming with xbox wireless network adapter or even just watching streaming video. Secondly, EnGenius has made their antennas upgradeable!
For example, if your Xbox wireless network is set up with extreme distances or if you just want the added insurance of uninterrupted feeds, you can replace the EnGenius antennas with a more powerful set. In addition to efficient wireless communication, the new routers upgraded version of wireless range extender improve performance for all your networked devices – including VoIP, network attached storage and, of course, wireless gaming systems. With QoS (Quality of Service) technology, the wireless router is able to prioritize all forms of digital communication. The EnGenius ESR-9750 and 9750G models come standard with QoS making them a very friendly addition to homes with multiple systems, especially those with intensive use. If you are unhappy with the quality of wireless gaming while using your Xbox 360 or other systems, there is no need to give up and start pulling CAT5 cables through your house. Wireless router technology has finally caught up with the need of online gamers. And the EnGenius models have been specifically designed with gaming in mind, offering top performance for a moderate price. Both models increase range, speed up performance, and smooth transmission for streaming media. Finally, your wireless gaming experience will only be as good as your own skill – not your wireless router.

Halo 3 Terminal Locations

by Shivanna

People who play the popular Xbox 360 multiplayer game Halo 3 know that if they can find all of the Halo 3 terminal locations they unlock the Marathon Man achievement for 40 G. This is where to find each of the Halo 3 terminal locations.The Halo 3 terminals, according to the game’s story, are storage locations for the Forerunners’ plans. The Forerunners maintained a large empire over 100,000 years before the time of the Halo series. Humans contain Forerunner DNA, and therefore can operate the Halo network. These Halo 3 terminal locations are a major plot element in the game.

There are three Halo 3 terminal locations found on the first level called the Ark. The first of these is found as soon as you walk inside. Use the door to the left to get to the first terminal. The second terminal on this level is found inside the structure that allows the tanks across the bridge of light. Look behind the bridge controls. The final terminal on this level is very difficult to spot. After battling a scarab you’ll notice a large structure with a door and a staircase leading to the next room. Find the final terminal underneath the staircase.

Another place to find Halo 3 terminal locations is on the level the covenant where there are three terminals. The first of these terminals, overall terminal four, is accessed via the elevator leading to the tower controls. Jump from elevator platform to the platform directly across from it – the terminal is there. The fifth terminal can be reached by using a Hornet vehicle, heading towards the second tower. When you hear a message that the tower is clear, it means you’re moving in the right direction. The terminal is inside the tower. The last terminal here, #6, is found on a platform in tower three.

There are two additional Halo 3 terminal locations on the final level. The eighth of these was unknown but later discovered by a player. Halo3planet.com is a good source for information about the final two Halo 3 terminal locations.
