WiFi connection problems when login is required

COWCHUM · Apr 13, 2016

I travel extensively as I drive a commercial truck. I cannot find a method to connect to the numerous WiFi providers I use i.e. Walmart, Costco, Conagra, - there are more than a dozen. I cannot use my cell Hotspot to gulp down a 5gb update - which is what
each update seems to be. "Spoofing" the mac address does not work, and there is no help desk to add the mac address of the console.

If there is a way to allow me to use the built in edge browser to address the forced login redirect please provide the necessary details.

This appears to be a huge oversight with this console if it cannot be resolved I will terminate my account and get rid of the Xbox.

Xbox One Wifi - Need Help connecting

I have my Xbox One in my room and the WiFi we use is Optimum Online (for those who don't know its like Fios, Time Warner Cable, Comcast, Etc) so normally when you connect you need to login normally thru a window to type in the login username and password. On the PS4 it connects then i sign in thru the Internet Browser but Xbox doesn't allow me to do it.

How Do i sign in and connect with the Optimum WiFi on my Xbox One or what exactly do I need to do?

No connection

Dude, It seems we have the same problem! Once I try to login into Xbox Live, it says I do not have a connection and when I try to connect through wifi, it does not show any wifi connections. What is wrong with the console?

Hi there,

From what you describe, it sounds like the best bet for you would be to try internet sharing with a Windows PC. There is a guide on how to set this up between your Xbox One & PC here:

I'd recommend giving those steps a try when you have the chance.

Does the wifi require any sort of login?

If it is only the WiFi then what exactly is the problem?

When you look for the network are you able to select it then enter the login information? If possible try connecting a network cable direct to the modem/router.

sometimes the broadcast extender doesn't broadcast the signal it's meant to extend and what ends up happening is that the devices that do connect are connecting to the original access point.

as rise of shipley stated, certain devices have a stronger reach for wifi.

can you see if you can truly connect to the wifi extender through your laptop or cell phone?

often times, this requires you to login to the wifi extender's interface and seeing what devices are connecting to it.
