    ‘Security protocol will not work’ issue


    I’m trying to connect to my WiFi on an Xbox series S. every time I’ve seen others have similar issues, they get told to make sure their WiFi is connected to WPA2/WPA3 (including personal) and WEP. But my WiFi is already WPA 3 (personal) and I’m not sure what to do.

    ‘Security protocol will not work’ issue

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues connecting to your Wifi.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Please restart both your Xbox Series S and your router. In order for both devices to be fully refresh.

    And then check for Firmware Updates. Please go to System> Settings> Console info> Update.

    Next is to make sure that you have a good range of your WiFi router. Walls and other obstacles can weaken the signal.

    Then on your Xbox Series S, go to Settings > General > Network settings, and disable WiFi. Wait a few seconds, then re-enable it.

    It is important to check for interference. Other devices like cordless phones, microwaves, and neighboring WiFi networks can interfere with your connection. Please minimize them.

    After performing the steps kindly test it out if it works.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Your Security Protocol Will Not Work ?!!

    Hey guys I am having this issue after the new xbox update as well! I talked with xbox and they said to wait it out. It may be an xbox update issue.

    I hope this helps.

    how many days have you had to redo the Sec Prot?

    Scott: at 10:13:15

    are you on the new Dash?

    you: at 10:14:09

    3 days

    you: at 10:14:12

    yes new dash

    Scott: at 10:14:07

    Everything you restart this happens or only on over night and longer periods?

    you: at 10:15:41

    I havent tried shorter periods because I work all day. But everytime I shut it off and turn it back on i have to do this

    Scott: at 10:16:28

    and other than setting it back up have you completed any other trouble shooting?

    you: at 10:17:16

    I also tried troubleshooting straight from my xbox and it said I have hardware problem and need to send in repair

    Scott: at 10:16:36

    dont want to redo stuff you did

    Scott: at 10:17:00

    may be true -

    you: at 10:18:09

    I just want to make sure its not an issue with the update

    Scott: at 10:17:40

    Lets do a couple of things really fast to check

    Scott: at 10:18:39

    Go to Settings and click on RESTART NOW - this controlled restart confirms install and other files close and are removed. This should take a min or two longer than normal.

    you: at 10:19:58

    ok ill let you know hwen i am finished

    you: at 10:20:36

    I am restarting now

    you: at 10:22:22

    It finished restarting

    Scott: at 10:21:51

    cool

    Scott: at 10:21:59

    did the setting stay

    you: at 10:22:56

    what do you mean?

    Scott: at 10:22:57

    for your wireless - can you connect now

    you: at 10:23:56

    I am not connected to the wireless but I will try to

    you: at 10:24:22

    Also when I try to connect I have to type in my wireless SSID

    Scott: at 10:23:43

    Were you connected wireless before the reboot/

    Scott: at 10:23:46

    ?

    you: at 10:24:34

    no i wasn't

    you: at 10:25:26

    Would you like me to try and connect?

    Scott: at 10:24:51

    Please

    you: at 10:25:54

    It doesn't show any wireless connections to click and try to connect to. I have to type in my SSID for my internet to connect

    you: at 10:26:18

    it came up with "your security protocol wont work" again

    Scott: at 10:25:50

    Do you normally show other wireless signals?

    you: at 10:26:43

    Yes, until the new update

    you: at 10:26:52

    I never had any issues until the new update

    Scott: at 10:27:01

    I understand but we havent has any other wireless issues so we want to do some trouble shooting first

    you: at 10:28:01

    That is fine I ubderstand

    Scott: at 10:29:01

    You did the unplugging the router --- trouble shooting steps already correct

    you: at 10:30:12

    I have done that previously. But I cant do that now otherwise I will lose the chat with you

    you: at 10:30:39

    After I unplug the router and stuff it connects fine

    Scott: at 10:30:06

    when you do does it normally restart your wireless networking or do you need to do other steps

    Scott: at 10:30:11

    ok

    Scott: at 10:30:20

    hmmm

    you: at 10:32:09

    I unplug the router for 5 mins., hard restart the xbox, and then plug the router back in. And all the wireless internets pop up and I can connect to my internet fine

    Scott: at 10:31:58

    one sec plz

    you: at 10:41:28

    no problem

    Scott: at 10:45:30

    Ok Katie - we have 2 likely and one possible issue....

    Scott: at 10:45:50

    1) this wireless card on your one is dying

    Scott: at 10:47:17

    2) the Update has a network issue - while the error you are getting isnt common it is showing up and may be related to another network item that is in testing now and will be updated in the next release or two (so next few days )

    Scott: at 10:47:57

    3) the less likely is your router and or network cables are going bad and need replaced

    Scott: at 10:48:33

    Normally 1 and 3 would be the issue and we would have you call your interent company to have them replace the router but.....

    Scott: at 10:48:47

    since I know there is a network fix on the way
