Connecting to Xbox Live with iPhone mobile hotspot

Hi ToxicReaper9571,

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble connecting your iPhone mobile hotspot to your Xbox One console. Connectivity issues can be frustrating, but let's try some troubleshooting steps to resolve the problem:

1. Check Network Settings on Xbox: Make sure your Xbox One's network settings are correct. Go to "Settings" > "Network" > "Network settings" and choose "Test network connection" to check if there are any issues with the Xbox's network configuration.
   
2. Forget Hotspot Network on Xbox: On your Xbox, forget the network connection for your iPhone hotspot and then try reconnecting it. Go to "Settings" > "Network" > "Network settings" > "Advanced settings" > "Alternate MAC address" and select "Clear". Then, try connecting to the hotspot again.
   
3. Disable MAC Address Filtering: Check if your iPhone hotspot has any MAC address filtering enabled. If it does, disable it temporarily and try connecting your Xbox again.
   
4. Check iPhone Hotspot Settings: On your iPhone, go to "Settings" > "Personal Hotspot" and make sure it's turned on. Also, check the Wi-Fi password (if enabled) and ensure that your Xbox is using the correct password when connecting.
   
5. Reboot iPhone and Xbox: A simple reboot can sometimes fix connectivity issues. Restart both your iPhone and Xbox One console.
   
6. Check Mobile Data Allowance: Ensure that your mobile data plan has enough allowance to support using your iPhone as a hotspot for the Xbox. Streaming and online gaming can consume a significant amount of data.
   
7. Try a Different Hotspot: If possible, connect your Xbox to a different Wi-Fi hotspot or network to see if the issue is specific to your iPhone or the Xbox console.
   

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it's possible that there may be just a compatibility problem between your iPhone's hotspot and the Xbox One console.

I tried to connect via Mobile HotSpot to Iphone (Czech Republic, T-Moblile), and through this connection I joined Xbox Live. Unfortunately this is not possible to play because I expect a big data transfer ... Sorry to my english ...: D

Hi, Rodrigo and thank you. Firstly, these games are not only not on the list but when I try them on Xbox series X it says this game cannot be played on this device. In looking further most of it has to do with licensing issues. Secondly, I’m sorry for any confusion, but I use my phone as a mobile hotspot, meaning that I can connect to the Internet by selecting my iPhone for the Internet connection when using other devices they connect to the Internet by using my 5G device. The iPhone is actually how other devices access the Internet.

Maybe this will help to clarify what I’m trying to do. From Google.““can I use my iPhone as a mobile hotspot for other devices? Answer: You can use Personal Hotspot to share a cellular internet connection from your iPhone to other devices. Personal Hotspot is useful when the other devices don't have internet access from a Wi-Fi network.”

I do not use an ISP all of my devices. Use my phone as a mobile hotspot. When I use the iPhone with the Xbox series X my iPhone shows up on the network connections list. There is no such list when I go to set up my network connection with the Xbox 360..

“

I hope this helps to clarify and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you Again

Not sure how this is related to xbox gaming (I am assuming you are using your phone as a mobile hotspot). Any phone purchased in the last 2 or 3 years automatically uses IPv4 and IPv6 (my understanding from years of gaming on PC, iPad and Xbox using mobile hotspot).

I don't think there is a specific setting (I don't see such a setting on either my Android Phone or my iPhone) and I have used both the android and iPhone for hotspot and xbox gaming.
