why does my xbox not work on my wifi exclusively?

vhanmi · Oct 15, 2023

so, after going through multiple solutions that did NOT solve my problem with my wifi, i used my hotspot and mw2 ended up working just fine. at first, it was a bit buggy but after the first game it was working fairly well. to say the least, i liked the gameplay and how it worked on my hotspot. however, i dont want to go through that process of having to connect and reconnect to it, so i prefer to use my wifi. HOWEVER, after multiple attempts to take away the ‘unable to connect to a data center’, they were all unsuccessful. my internet will not allow me to play online, but my hotspot does perfectly. so im wondering if it has to do with how my router works, since my xbox says my network connection is stable enough.. (i may be confusing the terms idk im not an expert). is there something that a internet source cannot have because it can cause interfere in online gaming?

Hi. My name is Brilliant, an independent advisor, happy to assist you today.

Since your Console's Wi-Fi is able to connect and function properly when connected to your mobile device's hotspot, that means the issue maybe with your Wi-Fi router. However, you can find multiple troubleshooting tips in the following link: https://support.xbox.com/help/hardw...ead from,settings > Test network connection).

You can also try contact your router manufacturer's support for further assistance.

I hope this helps resolve your query.

So for now, I know Minecraft works with the WIFI of my iPhone, but I do not know why it does not work on my home WiFi.

Same thing for me : Minecraft works with wifi on iPhone, not via home wifi. I can't find why!

Same issue for me.

A few precisions : My Apple TV is normally connected to the internet by WIFI at home. I noticed that if I generate a WIFI via my Iphone, Minecraft works perfectly. I then turned off the firewall of my home WIFI to see if it was blocking
Minecraft, but without success ...

So for now, I know Minecraft works with the WIFI of my iPhone, but I do not know why it does not work on my home WiFi.

Any idea?
