My XBOX Live Vision camera works during games like UNO with no problems but when I host a Video Chat my camera always shuts down and says that my network connection is too slow to run video chat.
I've narrowed this down to being a wireless problem. I've tried two different routers: 1) Microsoft MN-700 (fully supported by XBOX) and 2) US Robotics 5461 (not supported but MAXg with much stronger range).
Neither router helps this issue. Both are set to Wireless G networks. If I plug the xbox directly into the Router I have no issues. So I've basically determined this is not a Router issue.
My internet connection is the fastest comcast offers: 8000 kb/sec download and 700k upload. MORE than enough speed for a web cam.
I think the problem is my wireless adapter. I'm using the original XBOX 1 wireless adapter. Does anyone else use this adapter with XBOX Live Vision and have the same issue? For the $100 I paid back in the day for this adapter you would think this is a quality fast adapter... but somehow I think that it's not.
I also experience some undo lag in games using this wireless adapter. I'm going to try a different solution and I'll post with my findings..however I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem.
I don't have the vision camera...thinking about getting it though. If I get it in the next week or 2 i'll post my response.

well make sure your xbl ports are opened...do this test.
Have someone invite you without your camera in. See if it still boots you. If it does it's your "down" that is doing it, if it only does it while you have your camera on...it's your "up"
Yea, I've got the upgraded speed - 8Mb Down, 728k up.
I actually hard wired my xbox to my router and I did NOT lose the video conference so I'm positive it's not a port issue.
The problem is that the wireless must be too slow. This is either my hardware or Microsofts coding of how they do packet transfer (too much?). Either way I'm trying to figure out a way to have wireless AND solve this issue at the same time.
My current thought is to ditch my old xbox 1 wireless adapter and get a BRIDGE for my network that uses MaxG compression (US Robotics) and then plug my 360 directly into the bridge... If I do this, I'll let you guys know the results.

I'm hard-wired with the router and still get this issue. Video-chat worked for a while and I started getting the "Too Slow Error" message. I can personal chat (voice) with no video OR video chat without voice from my side (I can hear and see them; they can only see me - no voice). I went through the trouble-shooting with Microsoft and they had no answers (we did discover and replace my original router for a "Xbox compatible" router but that made no difference). I just got off the phone with Verizon (I have DSL) and my bandwidth is good. At a loss.... searching for an answer.
Still no patch, still no answer, still the same problem.
Btw, I switched routers... I now use a USR5461...same thing as my MICROSOFT one...
Ok, here it is APRIL of 2008 and I see no answer to this problem!! WTH?
Mine started doing this a couple of weeks ago. Why aren't any of the tech's answering these posts? Do we have to call Micro$oft for every little thing that goes on with the xbox? What are these forums for. Don't they moderate these? HELP!!!!
