    Microsoft won't fix connections to hidden wifi networks on Xbox Series X/S


    Will Microsoft ever acknowledge or fix this issue? This is really ridiculous. They just keep locking the threads and providing no information.

    Can someone explain to me why Microsoft left this basic security feature out of the OS on one of their most popular pieces of hardware?

    :)

    The xbox series x/s is completely incapable of connecting to hidden wifi networks. There are various tricks/hacks people are using which may or may not work, but it is not supported natively.

    I cannot connect to hidden wifi networks. It will not find my ssid when manually entered.

    Sorry for the late reply, I was trying to replicate the issue

    The strange thing is, I was able to connect to my recently created hidden wifi network.

    I'm wondering, the actual wifi network has an " " (space)?

    If you don't mind, try changing your wifi network SSID to something a bit more simple (in my case I change it to Apt_2003)

    Then, in case you're using a WPA3 password, change it to a WPA2 password and see how it goes

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today JerryCallo

    Could you explain to me a bit more your issue with the hidden wifi networks?
    Do you mean, are you not able to join to a hidden wifi network?

    I'll be waiting for your answers, greetings from another Microsoft user

    The SSID of my network does not have any spaces. When I attempted to connect to it, I just get the message "Can't connect to your wireless network." Literally every single device in my house is connected to this network.

    When I need to connect to a new network via WiFi my x box series s will refresh but nothing will pop up

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Xbox forum.

    It seems that your Xbox Series S will detect nothing after trying to connect to another network. Let's work on this together in finding the best possibl esolution to this issue.

    There are a few things you can try to resolve this issue:



    1. Make sure your Xbox Series S is within range of your WiFi network and that the network is turned on and broadcasting.



    2. Restart your Xbox Series S and try connecting to the network again.



    3. Check that your WiFi network is not hidden. If it is, you will need to manually enter the network name and password.



    4. Try resetting your network settings on your Xbox Series S. To do this, go to Settings > Network > Network settings > Advanced settings > Alternate MAC address > Clear.



    I hope this helps. Looking forward for your response!

    Sincerely,

    Leonardo_Y
