Xbox wireless adaptor with Shield TV

Submitted by DiogoS92 on #1

Hi,

In the past few weeks i started to have a problem with the my Xbox one wireless controller when connected via Virtual here.
The controller connects well but after the first 5-10 minutes it disconnects and start flashing the xbox button, then it connects again, after the 5-10 minutes the same situation, after these 2 times it connects and never losses connection.
If i connect the xbox wirelless adaptor diretely to my PC everything works fine.
I started to have these problems after installing the Windows 10 20h2 update, and i was thinking that a update must have messed with the drivers or something, I then reintall windows with 1903 update and the problem maintains the same.
Do you have any ideas of what problem triggers this behavior?

Thanks.

Yes it sounds like radio interference. If you can move the adapter as far away as you can from your shield , e.g attaching it to a USB hub with a long cable (not a usb extender) that will definitely help.

Michael, why a USB hub vs a USB extender?

Because usb-extenders are not 100% compatible with usb devices.
