Wifi Auto Switch for xbox one

theresamiller1 · Oct 28, 2019

When my wifi goes out I always have to go in my settings, find my other wifi network, and type in my password any time I switch networks. I wish my console would automatically switch to the available network like our phones do. On my phone I can choose
connect automatically with a network but you have to manually switch networks for xbox. Very irritating when my wifi cuts in and out all the time.

Yeah, that would be good, you should post this in the ideas forums here

This would be fantastic...also saving passwords would be nice especially if you travel with your Xbox to friends often. Ideas can be posted over at https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxinsiders/wiki/ideas

Have you considered just getting a wi-fi extender or a powerline adapter? I use a powerline adapter in my house when I switch rooms with my Xbox and it’s great - the speeds aren’t as high as with 5ghz wifi, but I do get lower latency than on my 2.4ghz
wifi which does have range for some rooms. Also, powerline works great with my laptop when I have my Xbox connected to ethernet for game streaming to Windows 10.

Try opening up the mainframe of the Xbox with a screwdriver. Then switch out the wifi chip with a new one

Same sort of thing for me. Forza 5 update today, turned on Xbox and was expecting Forza to be updated considering the update was out 6+ hours before and I had to wait for Forza to download the update after I had switched on the Xbox. Ive got the Xbox set
to "Instant On" and the "Auto download" set to on. Main system update from the other week was fine as that downloaded overnight and when I switched on the Xbox it was installing it straight away.

My question as well is if the Xbox is in standby mode should it still be connected to the router via wifi? My router shows a list of connected devices. Xbox in standby mode isnt shown on the list and so isnt connected via wifi, yet my PS4 in standby is shown
connected via wifi to the router. So should the Xbox be connected on wifi all the time when its in standby or just when its physically on? If its not connected via wifi when its in standby how does it get updates?
