    I have to reset my Mac address so my controller can connect to my Xbox.


    Every now and then I have to reset my alternate Mac address because my controller won't stay connected to my Xbox. My controller will randomly disconnect from my Xbox, I take the batteries out of the controller and put them back in and it will connect for about 20 seconds then when I try again the time gets less and less until I can't connect the controller at all, until I clear the alternate Mac address, I've tried resetting the xbox and that doesn’t fix the problem long term, I've tried switching controllers and it will work for a few minutes then have the same issue again with all 4 of my controllers and the only thing that fixes it is resetting the alternate Mac address.

    Is there anything I can do to fix this permanently.

    :)

    Hello Dadskybox, I hope you are well, My name is Oskayra, thank you for allowing me to help you.

    I found this information from a Microsoft forum that may be useful to you.

    1. It would be useful if you tried using different batteries than the ones you are using right now, just to rule out that the problem is the batteries.

    2. If the problem persists then please try manually power cycling the control as follows:

    Press and hold the Xbox button on the controller for 5-10 seconds, until the controller turns off. Then press and hold the Xbox button again to turn the controller back on.

    3. Check if the control is disconnected in the same way by connecting it via USB cable, if so then it will be necessary to apply its warranty. If it works correctly via cable, continue with the next step.

    4. Verify that the control is updated using the instructions in the following link:

    Router and Parental Controls

    Shad0wmanUK,

    Yes i do have to do that. I went and put in the MAC address in the trusted domain box on my parental control tab on my router. Reset the router and everything and it would still not connect to the internet. Not sure if i put the MAC address in the right
    area or not. Also my mac address is enabled. So i am stumped now and just going to assume i can't get online. I have parental controls on one of my computers but for my Mac i do not have anything for it to help with web filtering or blocking. THat is the whole
    reason i went through my router was because everything i tried and use for my Mac that i did find caused Kernel messages on it. So if you or anyone else has any suggestions for putting a web filter or web blocker on my Mac so i can remove everything from my
    router that would be greatly appreciated as well.

    Why can't I access the internet on my Xbox!

    So far I have tried every type of reset except the one that erases everything from the console, clearing my Mac address, putting my password in multiple times for my internet, and resetting my internet .

    I have not tried an ethernet connection because my xbox is in a different room.

    I have connected my xbox to a different network and it worked just fine.

    I belive my xbox is a series S
