Series X and S can’t connect to wifi

Hi Icy. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing this issue, have you tried any troubleshooting steps so far such as restarting your router/modem?

If that doesn't work, I advise trying a LAN cable connection instead if possible. If the issue persists over LAN, or you can not use a LAN cable, you could test a different WiFi network such as a mobile hotspot to help isolate this issue.

Thanks,
Kyle

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.

yes i have done all the above..if i have it connected via ethernet it is fne but when i go to use the wifi it wont work,,says console is connected but when i try to access my games says a connection error,,, does it on my series s and my xbox one s .. and a friends series x is doing it

Hiya,

Nope I don’t have mesh, no boosters or anything.

Both machines connected to main hub wifi, and both machines in the same room so can’t even blame distance etc.

Can’t run an ethernet to them as wife will kill me for running cables but i will move the series X into the front room and try it via cable tonight

It’s just baffled me that the X is having crappy downloads but the One isn’t

If you explain what the issue is maybe I or others here on this forum can help you get the console back to a working state.

Are you getting any error codes? What are they?

What version of console? Original, xbox one, S, X, Series S or X

WiFi or wired ethernet network connection?
