Note You can use an Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter with the Xbox 360 E console. If your wireless router is not near your console, you may get a better wireless signal by using a wireless networking adapter. When you connect an Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter to an Xbox 360 E console, the console automatically uses the wireless adapter instead of the built-in Wi-Fi.
To use your Xbox Wireless Controller with your console after using it with a PC, you must re-sync the controller to the console. You can do this by using the wireless sync button or a USB cable. For details, see Connect an Xbox Wireless Controller to your console. Connect a wired LAN adapter to the Nintendo Switch dock. Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN adapter and then connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your router or gateway. Place the Nintendo Switch console into the Nintendo Switch dock. On the Nintendo Switch console, select 'System Settings' on.
I’m a Mac user since many years, and I always used MacBook Pro notebooks only. I never had any problems to find good alternatives to each Windows software I was using before, even the less common ones. And just as a last resort, there is always a Virtual Machine (XP before, now 7) running inside VMware Fusion.
For the hardware part however, problems has always been a little bit worse. Even if I always checked Apple compatibility before buying any new piece of hardware (especially printers) there has been situations where I was not able to solve my problems. Console cables for connecting to network appliances like switches or routers has been my main problem.
Those console cables usually have an RJ45 jack towards the network appliance, and an RS232 jack towards the computer. But in the last 7 years, since I had my first Mac, I’ve never seen an Apple notebook with a serial cable. There are many Serial-to-USB adapters, but there are few drivers for OS X. Or at leat, until my last small discovery few days ago.
One of my colleagues, working primarily as a Network Administrator, uses a Ubuntu Linux notebook, and he owns this adapter:
Has many adapters of its kind, they have no visible brand or information to read. My colleague told me he got this one many years ago in a electric fornitures shop. It is automatically recognized and mounted by Linux kernel, and this is enough for him. I tried to connect it to my Mac OS X but it was not recognized, as you can see:
The only serial ports available are those created by the Bluetooth antenna, even if the adapter is correctly identified by the USB internal hub. This command
in fact lists all the available USB devices, and also the adapter is listed:
Anyway, I found this great post, and I followed it from beginning to end. Once I completed the steps, I run again the shell command:
The last line is the Serial-to-USB adapter. You can double-check that is the adapter by plugging it out and in and repeating the ls command, you will see it appearing and disappearing. Once I identified the adapter and I loaded its driver, I downloaded ZTerm to use it. You need to configure the program in this way:
Go to Settings -> Modem Preferences… and select the adapter as the default modem. Then, go to Settings -> Connections and you will find a screen like this one:
Now you will have to change the parameters as needed, depending on the appliance you need to connect to. Hitting OK, you should see the console:
Usb To Console Adapter
In my example, it’s a pfSense installation in a Soekris Net4511.
So, at the end even a Network Administrator can use a modern and fashionable Mac, instead of those old and ugly Windows XP notebooks with a serial port 🙂
