  1. WiFi and controller disconnecting


    Hello, I got an Xbox series s yesterday and am having a few issues with it. For some reason it keeps going offline as well as the controller disconnecting. The controller seems to reconnect after about a minute however clearly it should not be frequently disconnecting. When the Xbox goes offline, it does not show any Wi-Fi’s to join at all. Yet all my other devices are working fine on the Wi-Fi with no issues.

    It seems the only way for the Xbox to go back online is to turn the power off, unplug it, wait a few mins, then power back on, go into network settings and type the Wi-Fi password in. This works until it loses connection again (seems to happen every 15-60 mins). I have updated it to the latest software and have also tried clearing the alternate MAC address yet nothing seems to be working.

    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    :)

    Wireless controllers disconnecting

    Same problem for me. Controllers keep disconnecting. It happens if other people use wifi for game or netflix. Wifi interferes with the controllers connection. Very bad. Next time a PlayStation!

    Kicked off xbox live while gaming and controller disconnects at the same time

    I'd assume your console is connected wirelessly to your WiFi. Since you say the network as well as the controller are disconnecting, I'd guesstimate, that you have a device that also uses the 2.4GHz frequency like the controllers and the WiFi, that interferes
    with your WiFi and wireless controller connection.

    It might be a badly shielded microwave oven, or a wireless baby monitor, or a garage door opener remote or one of those remotely switchable power outlets that might cause interference that causes your controller and WiFi to get disconnected.

    Wifi Disconnects then Controller

    Customer support was able to give me some tips and for the moment it seems like it has fixed my problem with this.

    Press the menu key of the controller.

    Go to Settings > Disc & Blu-Ray.

    In the BLU-RAY section select "Persistent Storage".

    Select "Clear persistent storage". (Do this step 3 times)

    Next power off the xbox by holding the button on the console for 10 seconds, then unplug the power for at least 1 minute.

    Reboot by holding the xbox symbol on the controller so they both turn on at the same time.

    When booted go to Settings -> Network -> Advanced Settings -> Select Alternate MAC address -> Select Clear -> Select Restart.

    That did it for me, hopefully it helps someone else.
