Xbox One Console power off when connecting to wifi

Has the console ever been able to connect once and update so you can actually use it?

If not, and this is the first time you try to set the console up, temporarily try to use a wired connection, just to get the console set up and up to date.

After the initial setup and console update, you can try to use WiFi again, and see if the problem persists.

If the console still shuts off when connected to WiFi, you should send the console in for service through

This may work, you'll need a computer, first get the computer setup for the free wifi, second locate the computers MAC address (google how for your operating system) and once you have that on your XBOX go to Settings>Network Settings>Advanced settings>Alternate
Mac address and input the MAC address you got from your computer.

Well the only way you could possibly get your xbox online would be to bridge your internet connection on your laptop from ethernet to wifi so that the xbox can conenct wifi to that. It is obviously a limitation of the xbox console that doesnt allow you to
connect to services that require a logon from the device you are using.

The best connection you can get is hardwired broadband.

But Wifi has it's perks, especially if you're using other devices at home as well.

Remember, the more stuff you log onto your Wifi, the more you're taxing it.

Best thing to do is just try it out and see how your gaming goes.

It's a myth that you need a Corporate Broadband package for online gaming. Home broadband is more than enough.
