Can a permanent banned Xbox still use Internet?

IonS97 · Jan 25, 2025

Can I still connect to a network? I understand it won't connect to Xbox live but can the console still get an IP address and be connected? Or do they disable the network functionality? It hasn't happened to me, but I'm answering someone in another forum and I cant find an explicit answer.

A banned Xbox cannot use any network services

Hello Tom

My Xbox 360 device is not permanently banned, I can still access the internet and Xbox live with my second account on the console, so that’s not my issue. My issue is that I cannot add/download my old, very first Xbox live profile/account to my Xbox 360 because the ACCOUNT is permanently banned, not the console. And again, this is not a password issue. I still have full access to the associated Microsoft account and still use it very frequently, I just want to be able to download my profile and access my old game saves OFFLINE, but I can’t because it stops the profile from downloading because it’s banned

IF you receive a true console ban they are permanent https://enforcement.xbox.com/en-US/home/howto#sub-topic0-3

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all device bans permanent?

All Xbox Live device bans are permanent. However, some Code of Conduct violations that don’t rise to the level of a device ban can instead result in the temporary loss of specific Xbox One or Xbox on Windows device privileges. When this occurs, the device
can still connect to Xbox Live, but certain functionality (such as communications or online multiplayer) will be restricted for a particular duration.

You can post here to find out why it was suspended and if it was permanently banned. If it was banned then there is no way to use it on another console. If it was just suspended, you can still use it, you'll just need to follow the terms of service.
