  1. Why does my Xbox get "filtered" by my router?


    I'm a bit frustrated because i had a similar issue with my Xbox One as i am having now with my Xbox Series S where my router will only filter out my Xbox from being connected to the internet. I've been using the same account for 9-ish years now and am wondering if ive been hacked and someone is messing with me?

    I saw the thread on how to fix the problem, but id like to know why it happens in the first place and if it should be of any concern.

    :)

    Why does my Xbox get "filtered" by my router?

    Hi there! I am sorry to hear about what happened.

    If your console is being filtered out from your router, that could possibly mean that someone might have access to your router dashboard or settings where they manually enabled MAC filtering or depending on the router features you have, they disabled your console access.

    The issue here shouldn't be your Microsoft/Xbox account. I suggest that you instead perform a factory reset on your router to reset its configuration and refer to its manual to change your SSID and Wi-Fi key for security. You may as well contact your Internet Service Provider or ISP to help you secure your connection.

    MAC filtering

    Is my router filtering my xbox console's MAC address?
    Can you console access the internet? If so, then no it's not being filtered.

    I have tried EVERYTHING!!!

    Does your router have a MAC filter on it? and is it enabled? sometimes people will opt to use a Mac filter so if someone gets the password right they still will not be able to access your conection even if they wanted to. It could be possible that the router
    is preventing the xbox from connecting. Look up Port Forward.com and follow their instructions for your router and it might be what your looking for.

    need help with 360

    Hi also ensure your router firmware is up to date and if you are using a wireless mac address filter on your router ensue the Xbox is listed on the filter.

    Where does it fail at the network stage or later on when you run the Xbox live connection test?
