Ways of connecting to Xbox Live!

xX Gazza 7 Xx · Jan 5, 2014

Hello! I am moving in with my other half in the summer, and the flat we are moving Into does not have any fibre optic in the area. The broadband speeds from all the main suppliers are somewhere between 0.02 - 2.00 which is shocking! Are there any other
ways of connecting to Xbox Live? Would a dongle connected to 4G work? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Forgot to mention this is on Xbox one Thanks!

Game Updates?

No it is not possible other then connecting the xbox console to xbox live.

Those other ways, are unsupported ways (and will likely break the Terms of Use or Code of Conduct) and therefor it's not allowed to discuss them in the forums.

Hey there Gazza. First off, HUGE congrats on moving in with your SO. Best move of my life, and I wish you all the best. As for your connection, that is a sadder story. For now there is no supported method of connecting a dongle for networking purposes. If
you are using a phone as your 4G device it SHOULD be possible to create a wifi hotspot and then connect your console to that wirelessly. It is not going to be an amazing connection (more than likely will see lag issues in game causes by the instability of
the connection type), but might be enough to stay connected depending on the quality of your 4G connection. 2 Mb internet connections are high enough to support an Xbox Live connection so you might actually be fine with your internet service provider, but
if not it sounds like you could have a hotspot alternative. Best of luck.

I use a 4G hotspot and it does work, however, you will have a Strict NAT which can make it hard to connect to chats reliably and you will see some lag. At this time it seems that using an iPhone (wi-fi or via USB) to connect isn't possible so you would
have to use a hotspot accessory in that case.

how about you get a good connection. xbox live cant magically give you a better connection. if your connection is not good and there is no way to get a better connection then dont pay for xbox live, simples

I think you have to try setting up the modem the right way. Check this for some info.
