Network connection problems on WiFi only

Hi Willphelps2! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

Please perform a power cycle reset, follow these steps:

Unplug the power cable from the back of the router, modem, or gateway for 5 minutes. If you have a router and a modem, unplug the power cable from both devices.

Restart your Xbox console. press and hold the Xbox button  on the console for 10 seconds, until the console turns off. After the console shuts down, touch the Xbox button on the console again to restart.

After 5 minutes, plug the modem or gateway in first, and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

If you are using a router, plug in the router and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

This sounds like you have a network problem not a console problem.

Have you power cycled your network hardware?

If you're using WiFi to connect to the network try a wired ethernet cable connection, as you may be getting WiFi signal interference.

If it is only the WiFi then what exactly is the problem?

When you look for the network are you able to select it then enter the login information? If possible try connecting a network cable direct to the modem/router.

Hi there,

simple question indeed, but as far as I know there is no technical details about that.

I do know that when a cable is connected you won't be able to select Wifi (connect to the wifi network) as network option.

And since as far as I know the Wifi option is only one that can connect to a wifi network, it in itself isn't broadcasting in a way that other devices can find or connect to the console via Wifi, as in it's not a hotspot etc.

Wifi Direct is only used for the controllers I believe.. It uses standard Wifi (or network cable) to connect to everything else.
