    Unable to connect console to app for set-up.


    I can't seem to get my new Xbox One to connect to my iOS app. It initially says ""Xbox" Wants to Join Wi-Fi Network "XboxSetupXXXX"" (screenshot below) and then when I click join after a couple of seconds it says "Unable to join the network "XboxSetupXXXX"" (screenshot below). I've gone trough all the troubleshooting (resetting my console, resetting my router, quitting the Xbox app and turning my phone off and on again) with no luck. I did manage to get my console connected to the app once however then when I attempted the next step to connect to my WiFi the connection timed out and took me back to the home screen with the letters on it (screenshot below). I just returned an Xbox under warranty and the Xbox I'm now having trouble with the is the 'new' replacement Microsoft have sent me. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

    smartglass wont connect to xbox one

    Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the app already? Is your console set up to allow smartglass connections? Settings > Preferences > Smartglass connections.

    I tried the bottom option.

    "We were unable to remove this console home xbox associations"

    "Please check your connection and try again.

    And the network connection is fine, and the multiplayer one stops half way and says it was unable to finish the test.
    The only way to fix this specific issue is to reformat the console and keep games and apps. It doesn't take 10 minutes to do:

    Settings > System > Console Info & Updates > Reset console > "keep games and apps". (requires account redownload)

    Also, you could try clearing the MAC address in advanced network settings. That could fix this but unlikely.

    Console set up in Mobile App

    This is an old thread but it seems to be a similar problem, might even be the same problem:

    Is your console connected to the internet and everything? I remember I had a strange thing like this too when I connected my console to my phone's app (it doesn't matter which device, the Xbox Companion App connection process is pretty much the same I think)

    Xbox app console set up

    Hi Aidan C, my name is Jose and it is my pleasure to help you.

    I think I responded to a post you made in the community forum asking you to follow some steps to find the code so you can finish configuring Xbox in your application. By chance, have you already followed all the steps mentioned above?

    In case you lost the publication, you can take a look at it here:

    I await your response, so I can provide you with better help.

    Greetings,
    Jose.

    Setting up console on the xbox app

    First, try to power cycle your console, and remove and re-add your profile.

    If the issue persists, I would recommend trying these troubleshooting steps:

    Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Alternate Mac Address > Clear

    If the issue still persists, please select System > Settings > devices and streaming > blue ray > persistent storage > clear three times > restart console.

    If the issue keeps on happening, you can soft reset the console by; Settings > System > Console Info > Reset This Xbox > Reset and Keep my Games and Apps.

    You can also try to reinstall the app all over again in the process to see if it corrects the issue.
