IPhone hotspot not connecting to xbox

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.

Right, my Xbox will connect to my hotspot, but once disconnected I can’t get it to connect again. I’ve changed DNS settings, cleared MAC, cleared my network settings on my iPhone, reset the statistics on my iPhone. I have shutdown and restarted my Xbox numerous times and the same with my iPhone. I have changed the hotspot password multiple times. It doesn’t connect through USB.

Hi Jordan,

Thanks for reaching out to us in the forums for this issue. When it comes to connecting to Xbox Live via your console with its internet source being a wifi hotspot from a mobile phone, that isn't something that is really recommended. Its a great way to test
your connection, but over the long term you may find there are some issues, especially when it comes to NAT type, etc.

Generally speaking, when dealing with Apple products, you would need to be able to log into a router (ex. like with the

Apple AirPort) in order to be able to get it functioning normally. In this case since its a hotspot from a mobile, you may need to
contact Apple support for further information on how to utilize the hotspot for gaming.

In regards to your current internet situation, if possible, would you be able to get the console connected via Ethernet cable? This would actually give you the best experience while doing any multiplayer gaming and has practically no lag at all. If you do
need help with your connection after that, then you can refer to the Xbox One Multiplayer Connection Error Solution for help with
your NAT type.

I hope that this helps out!
