These new versions bring major performance upgrades, allowing us to run original Xbox games on budget-tier Android hardware. These updates also bring improved support for non-Snapdragon processors. There was a dearth of original Xbox emulators for Android, but that started to change earlier this year.

We first saw the admittedly vibecoded X1 Box app in March, based on the Xemu emulator for PC, but this was quickly followed by a forked Android app called HakuX. Thankfully, there’s some great news if you want better original Xbox emulation on Android. The developer behind HakuX released v1.0.0 of the emulator on GitHub, bringing some major upgrades.

Your router has two or perhaps three bands, and choosing the right one for each device is vital for performance. Your devices could be on the wrong Wi-Fi band, and it’s slowing them down.

News Computing Your devices could be on the wrong Wi-Fi band, and it’s slowing them down Even with a fast internet connection, the wrong Wi-Fi band can be killer. You could be paying for a connection delivering hundreds of megabits or even a gigabit per second, yet your router setup could still result in slow downloads and buffering video on certain devices.

Worse still, you may see a strong Wi-Fi signal that doesn’t help you diagnose the problem. If this sounds familiar, it’s smart to check which Wi-Fi band the device is using to communicate with your router.

Most routers support 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi frequency bands, while newer models also broadcast a third 6GHz band. But depending on how your network was configured, your devices may automatically switch between these frequencies.

This can result in slower real-world speeds or poor connection reliability. Luckily, you only need to change a particular setting on your router to ensure this problem doesn’t affect your devices.
