  1. Having trouble with Xbox series, X Wi-Fi, remote play, and Wi-Fi in general


    When I had wireless Wi-Fi through charter, it said I could remote play outside my home. It just might be slow and recommends playing inside and then I switched to fiber optic through Gateway fiber so way better Wi-Fi and gigabytes per second and when I was connected through wireless Wi-Fi, it kind of recommend the same thing remote play can play outside your home, but it might be slow, but the Wi-Fi was definitely better but now I have a long ethernet cable and have my Xbox directly connected to the Wi-Fi router but now it says it’s actually slower it says Remote play outside the home might not be possible recommends only playing inside the house on the same Wi-Fi network, which doesn’t make sense because being connected directly like that should mean it’s insanely fast or at least the same but a more secured network. Is there anything I can do to try to fix this? I know my Wi-Fi router is kind of weird. It doesn’t have ethernet cable connections. It just says lan1 lan2 lan3 lan4 2.5g I’m connected to four because that’s the only one that says 2.5 G and I thought that might be better because also the port that the router is connected to that goes to the modem that port says 2.5 G so I thought maybe that would be stronger or should I be on? Lan1 any advice whatsoever would be helpful cause I don’t know much about Wi-Fi or even gaming that much. I’m new to the online community been playing on Xbox one X for a couple of years and I literally just got the Xbox series X2 days ago and was trying to download this new Hogwarts game that I just bought today and it said it was gonna take an hour which is awesome because when I was with charter something that was over 100 GB would usually take at least 12 to 13 hours so I’m over the moon and then I was like oh wait I haven’t ethernet cable if it’s only gonna take an hour or two which usually it says an hour and a half to two hours then after about 10 minutes usually says 30 to 40 minutes, but I thought if I connect an ethernet cable to it, it might cut that time in half or at the least just be more secure but if it’s saying remote play might not be possible outside the home then that means it’s going way slower or it’s not as strong so it makes you think I should unplug it for downloading shit too, which doesn’t make senseso please any info suggestions of any kind will be well appreciated

    Xbox series s unplayable due to lagging

    If that worked would that prove that the Wi-Fi receiver in the Xbox is at fault ?

    As my Xbox series x and Xbox one connect and play perfectly online via the same Wi-Fi

    Why can’t I sign in on my xbox series x ?

    None of these options worked, and my Xbox series x does connect to the Wi-Fi, I have a good connection. What’s next ?

    So I wanted to ask if I need a WiFi adapter for better connection on my Xbox series s... Or is the build in WiFi adapter of the Xbox series s good enough?

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Tony, if you are referring to the wi-fi network card that comes with the console, it is more than enough for you to connect to any wi-fi network.

    The Xbox Series X/S will utilize the fifth-generation WiFi (802.11ac) standard.

    Im trying to connect to an xbox series s that has already been set up

    it has to be your home console, and you have to make the initial remote play connection on your Wi-Fi network

    trouble with wi-fi

    Some Xbox's don't like WPA2-PSK do you have the ability to switch to WPA2-AES? If not just change the encryption to WPA and you should be fine

    Some steps you can try

    1-Try to connect w/ no encryption

    2-If you can switch to the next encryption till you can't
