    What should I do when my Xbox One decides to randomly disconnect from 5G network all of a...


    Two weeks ago from making his post my Xbox One had a steady stream of connectivity through 5G network One night I went to bed I woke up and now over a period of 5 minutes of being connected and in a gaming session it will disconnect me from my session and disconnect from Wi-Fi all together and then without actually activating any buttons or going into the settings it will sometimes reconnect. Now if I use my 2.4 network it seems to connect steadily holds the connection the whole time I'm gaming but the only problem is I have come to the understanding that 5G is much faster and stabler for long gaming sessions for load screens and and downloading. But just out of the blue it now will no longer keep a steady connection to 5G I can still get online with my 2.4 and game just fine I'm starting to think that it is a network issue, an Xbox live issue, a router issue, or a hardware issue, with all of these theories in place. Keep in mind it is an old Gen Xbox so I'm going to have to assume the hardware is starting to fail I would really hope that there's an answer out there that somebody can give me to help me with this.

    What should I do when my Xbox One decides to randomly disconnect from 5G network all of a sudden

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    We may need to perform troubleshooting steps. Kindly perform an extended powercycle and reset your network hardware by following the steps below:

    1. Unplug the power cable from the back of the router, modem, or gateway for 5 minutes. If you have a router and a modem, unplug the power cable from both devices.

    2. Press and hold the Xbox button on your console for 10 seconds or until it turns off then wait for 2 minutes before turning it on again.

    3. After 5 minutes, plug the modem or gateway in first, and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

    4. If you are using a router, plug in the router and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

    If that didn't work and you have another network connection that we can try to use such as a router with a 5G network as well so we can test if it will disconnect or not.

    How do I connect an Xbox One to an SSID that is not broadcasting it's name? (A hidden network)

    Update:

    The Xbox One will connect to the 2.4ghz hidden network just fine
    (apparently).

    I did not initially try to connect to the hidden 2.4ghz network because the Xbox One connected to the non-hidden 5ghz network; I was only thinking in the mindset that the Xbox One will connect to a 5G network because that's what I wanted.

    If anyone else is researching this question,

    try to connect to the 2.4G hidden network if you are having difficulty connecting to a
    5G hidden network.

    This worked for me.

    I do wish that it would just connect to my hidden 5G network. I do not understand why it will not. I do not understand why it will connect to my 5G network fine when I toggle the "broadcast SSID name" function on the 5G network.
    I'm going to test this when I'm more awake. It should be able to connect to either one, hidden or not.
