After further research, we were able to check an anwer in the community who got 53 positive votes from other community members. Here's the method "What you have to do is skip the sign in part. The easiest way to do this is if you have a phone with hotspot turn that on and sign into your account on the hotspot then plug in the wired network you want to use while the hot spot is still on and you are still signed in. Then the xbox should automatically connect to the wired connection and you can turn of the hotspot and play on the wired connection"

Sincerely,

Hey SethFlower when error 0x800704cf is shown its with network. Holding down the power button on your Xbox One controller then chose restart console should help. Or try re starting your router then re connect it to
your Xbox.
