    Why do my controllers keep disconnecting?


    I’ve done the updates, resets, and just about everything else that’s suggested. I have over 6 controllers and all of them constantly disconnect. They’ll flash for a bit then reconnect or just end up turning off. Other than what I’ve already done, is there anything else that anyone knows can fix this? I’m about to switch over to Sony because this is ridiculous.

    That's pretty sad! They need to get off their *** and do something right. Just out of curiosity, are you talking about the sync button on the console or controller?

    Why does my controller keep disconnecting?

    I am having that same issue as well. I spent $149 to send the system out for repair after buying another controller and charge and play kit. Only for it to stop working again 6 months later. You think xbox would have said send it back and we will send you
    a brand new one or something but nope. My button to sync the controller does nothing. I can't even play if the controller is connected to the console with a USB cable.

    Why does my controller keep disconnecting?

    Since I replaced my wifi card I haven't had a single disconnect in about 2 weeks.

    Why does my controller keep disconnecting?

    The wifi cards are the fault of the disconnect issues. I replaced mine on Friday and have not had a single disconnect yet.. The fact that you're losing both at the same time is in fact the card. Ost people usually lose the ability to keep sync with the controller
    while others have issues with the wifi. Try connecting the console using a network cable, if you stop losing connection to live then your issue lies with the wifi card. You can buy the cards used, I recommend eBay because of their buyer protection. You can
    look up videos and illustrations on how to take the console apart to replace the card. It's relatively easy to do.

    Hi, my name is Julian and I'm an Xbox gamer just like you. Let's try to solve your issue together.

    Since you've already tried different controllers, reset the console, and reduced interference, here are a few more things that you can try:

    1) Make sure both your controller and console are fully updated. Outdated firmware can cause disconnection and audio issues. Learn more here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

    2) Even if you didn’t have issues before, recent firmware or network changes (e.g., your router’s channel or bandwidth settings) might be affecting performance. Try turning off other Bluetooth devices or changing your Wi-Fi band from 2.4GHz to 5GHz if possible.

    3) Try using the Xbox Troubleshooter https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

    Let me know if you need further assistance.
