My Xbox Series S is troubling to connect to internet due to LAN port bug.

Hello, Franco S. I'm Arturo, a community user like you, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

Based on the information you provided, I would like to suggest the following potential solutions:

Note: Skip the ones you already tried.

A. Power cycle your console:

“Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off.

Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller.

If you don't see the green boot-up animation when the console restarts, repeat these steps.
Make sure that you hold the power button until the console completely shuts down.

Important: If your console is in Sleep mode, the above steps will shut the console off completely. Sleep mode, or the ability to turn on your console by saying “Xbox on,” won't be enabled until you restart the console.”

B. Bring up the Xbox startup troubleshooter and perform a factory reset by keeping games and apps once you reach the screen.

“Power off your console, and then unplug the power cord to ensure that the console is completely powered off.
Wait 30 seconds, and then plug the power cord back in.
Press and hold the Pair button and the Eject button on the console, and then press the Xbox button on the console.

Note: The Xbox Series S and the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition do not have Eject buttons. You can bring up the Xbox Startup Troubleshooter on this console by holding only the Pair button (steps 3 and 4) and then pressing the Xbox button.

Continue holding the Pair and Eject buttons for 10–15 seconds.
Listen for two “power-up” tones a couple of seconds apart. You can release the Pair and Eject buttons after the second power-up tone.
The console should power up and take you directly to the Xbox Startup Troubleshooter.”

Note: Make sure to know your account credentials before doing this step.

C. If that option doesn't work, please repeat the steps again, but this time choose “remove everything”.

D. Perform an offline update on your console.
This potential fix requires a USB drive and a PC to transfer the files to it:

I'll look forward to hearing your answers.

Xbox series S and X have some (hopefully known) bug that causes this.

My use case for remote is 80% local and 20% remote.

I have a PS5 that works extremely well for this.

My LAN is 1000/1000 wired to the consoles and 866/866 wireless to the client (tested on iPad, Samsung s7+ tab, windows PC)

Internet is gigabit fiber and usually sits between 700-900 mbps up/down

I got a series S a short while ago and faced the same issue on LAN.. android and iPad were very low resolution and blocky (probably 800X600)

Windows client was a little better . Perhaps 1366x768.

On the bright side , Lag was excellent with minimal latency between controller input and action.

Assuming this to be an issue with the weaker hardware on series S, I got a series X but same problem.

Internet test on the console shows 800-900 down, 500-600 up but latency is marked in yellow (probably because I am in India and I think the closest server is in Singapore).

None of this should have had any impact on LAN remote play - but I suspect even LAN play is routed via the Internet

Set a laptop's Mac address to be the same as the xbox. Leave the xbox off. Open the internet on the laptop and get past the hotel login page. Disconnect the laptop from hotel wifi or Lan cable. Power on the Xbox and connect it to the hotel wifi or lan. I
had to use the lan cable because I couldn't change the mac address on my laptop wifi port, only the lan port. Then everything worked great. Played Destiny for hours with no problems.

I was having trouble having full access to xbox live but then I turned off my firewall and it worked perfectly...

Could you please explain in more detail how your PC and Xbox connect to the Internet? Is your Xbox connecting
through your PC? For example: Are you plugging the Xbox into the PC's LAN Port, and use the PC's WLAN or a 3G/4G Mobile internet stick to go online?

Or is your Xbox connected to a router to which your PC connects as well?

That’s not a controller issue, the Xbox Wireless Controllers don’t have a reputation for obliterating computers. My controllers, which include the Series X|S version and the Xbox One version, both connect and work fine with it.

(With the exception of the Series X|S controller being almost completely unusable right now for me, due to firmware bugs. But even with those bugs, it didn’t screw up my computer or the game I was playing.)

Maybe the game you’re trying to play doesn’t have gamepad support?
