  1. How do u fix additional authentication needed


    Xbox One connected to home wireless network has been working fine for a year and now getting message that additional authentication is needed and prompts to add an Alternate Wireless MAC address. Have cleared Alternate MAC address and rebooted console several times with no luck. Identifies network and shows good signal strength, but nothing else. Wireless network is working and other devices are utilizing it just fine.

    Any ideas?

    :)

    How do u fix additional authentication needed

    Hello!

    I'm a Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you.

    One of the possible reasons why a console cannot connect to the Internet is because its MAC address has been blacklisted by the router, i.e. someone may have configured the router so that a particular device does not consume bandwidth.

    Formatting the router to its factory settings may help.

    You can also try a reset by keeping games and applications on the console to rule out that it is a console problem.

    Go to Settings>System>Console Information

    And restart keeping your games.

    Note that the console accounts will be removed, so you will need to have the email and password for each account to log back in.

    Your progress, achievements, purchases and other data will remain intact, don't worry about that, you won't lose any data, the only thing you need to do is to log in again.

    I hope the information has been clear, I will be attentive to any questions you may have.

    Best Regards.

    Additional authentication needed???

    Are you connecting your console to a hotspot, or a guest network at a hotel, which are secured by a captive portal (authentication web page)?

    The second option require you to spoof the MAC address of an already associated/authenticated/authorized device and not the MAC address of whatever interface you're using to connect your Xbox (ethernet/wireless).

    Also, make sure you're not concurrently connected with the current associated/authenticated/authorized device and your console, as they use the very same layer 2 identity.
