  1. Remote play working only on home Wifi network


    Hi. I haven't been able to get remote play to work on networks away from home.

    It works great on my home wifi networks but anywhere else I get the following message:

    "Check your network connection. We found your console but can't connect".

    Today after another attempt I saw the Xbox logo pop up (last time it was just a black screen after the rocket animation). But it just showed the same message again.

    This doesn't seem like a device specific issue. I've tried both my ipad and my phone, both wifi and cellular data but always get the same message. I tried it several days in a row thinking maybe the Xbox was updating when I tried but still no luck.

    Any tips for how I can troubleshoot this?

    Thanks.

    Xbox Remote Play Black Screen after Xbox Logo - Works Only On Home WiFi & Mobile Data

    Yes. If I’m on my mobile network at work and try to remote play I get black screen.

    When I’m home on my wifi it works fine.

    But when I’m away or even at home and try to remote play on my mobile network I get the black screen. Was working fine before. Don’t know what happened

    Hi, if possible please try using a different router, exists the possibility that your current router is blocking incoming connections when you're outside.

    But before that, check if you can white list the MAC addresses for your mobile devices via router settings

    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 despite this CoolAchiever472

    May I know if you can try leaving connected your Xbox consoles to a completely different wifi network?

    For example, share mobile data temporarily via wifi hotspot and connect your Xbox in that way

    Then connect one of your mobile devices (the one that you're not using to share mobile data) to the home network and test if you're able to access in that way.

    ----------

    In the meantime, when you say "I have restarted the Xbox's", do you mean power it off and power it on?

    Or power cycling the console?

    1. Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.

    2. Unplug the console's power cable from the console and from the power outlet. Wait 5 minutes.

    Important: Be sure to wait at least 5 minutes. This step resets the power supply.

    3. Plug the console power cable back in.

    4. Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.

    Or instead factory resetting the consoles?

    Settings > System > Console info > reset

    Josef,

    Thanks for your response.

    1. Unfortunately my mobile coverage at home is very poor so I can’t connect to anything other than my home network. If I can’t solve this any other way I may try a different router that I have.

    2. Since posting this I have found that I am able to stream to my Android phone when it is not on my home network. I did a number of things in between it not working and when it started to work today so I’m not sure which made the difference. I am still, however, unable to stream to my iPhone 13. So that cuts out a lot of the potential causes. I can stream to my iPhone on my home network.

    3. I have only soft restarted the consoles - not a full power off as you suggest. I will try that, although as I say above is seems unlikely, given that I can stream to Android but not iOS.
