Wifi Off?

Hello, The Xbox team. Would it be possible to add a feature which allows the WiFi of the console to deactivate when it this goes out?

Xbox One Controllers and Surround Sound Headsets

The xBone uses WiFi direct, so maybe we will start seeing WiFi direct headsets/headphones coming to market..

 

wifi issues

cant say i can help much on wifi... i have herd it can be spotty a few posts on xbox direct forum suggest a min and max space between the router and xb1. others have mentioned how the router is setup and how "new" it is and the avaliable speed it can push..

most will say you want it wired for speed... wifi tends to have dips and such in upload/download and will be noticable in most gaming situations. i can even say going wired you may see those high/low speed drops.

i run a gaming router that was a mid/top of the line router few years back.. i had to upgrade from a normal because it just could not keep up with the xb1 in my area. i do have dsl (not commercial) but the basic package.

did they direct you to do a soft reset (holding xbox button for 20 seconds) on console

you can do a netowrk reset. power off router and all that.. turn power off on xb1 for 1 min.(unplug)
you can go into settings netowrk, advanced, alternative mac addy, reset it.. it will restart the xb1 but when it restarts it will reset the wifi and netowrk all together..

unfortunatly i cant say if any or all will work.. but i can say if its an issue odds are it wont go away you will learn what ones work for you over others. i get issues from time to time and recently with anamous and lizard squad its not a netowrk issue but a ddos shut down of xbox servers all together.. one of those things you need to have multiple ways of checking with microsoft to see what services are down.

 

Wouldn't putting your console in offline mode be the same thing pretty much?

 

It's called "Energy Saver".

 

The problem by putting the mode except line, is that we have to put back the password.

 

That the mode of energy saving, is activated or not, it changes nothing.

 

Actually, I believe it does. Energy saver mode fully shuts down the console, internet connection included, almost the same as unplugging it. Easy way to prove this is to put your console in Instant On mode, power it down, then log into your router and check
your "Connected devices". Your console (in Instant On mode) will still show up as connected. Now put the console in Energy Saver mode, power it down and check for connected devices in your router (you may need to refresh if you've stayed logged into your router).
I bet you'll find that your Xbox no longer shows as a connected device because it has been fully powered down.

I've never tried that so I could be wrong, but I can see no reason for the console to send power to wifi in energy saver mode since it doesn't check for updates.
