    XBOX as Access Point


    I have my XBOX 360 linked to my network by the MS wireless adapter. Can I use the ethernet connection on the back of the 360 as an access point for other hardware? thanks, g

    Saving wifi passwords

    The Xbox One automatically saves the Wi-Fi password of the access point it's currently connected to.

    If you mean saving the passwords of multiple access points, for example like bringing your Xbox back and forth to a friend's house, then it doesn't do that (as far as I've checked).

    Now TV and Netflix on Xbox One vs PS3/4

    I've not had a problem with Netflix at all. To the point I ditched all other methods of accessing it in favour of using the XBox One.

    XBOX as Access Point

    Hi there,

    No as far as I know that is not possible. I would assume that would require additional software/hardware to be able to do that.

    If you want to do that I advise you to buy a wireless accespoint and connect the other devices to that.

    XboX as an Access Point?

    Hello Vp-Rx,



    Greetings!



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    It's unlikely that someone installed something on your Xbox remotely without your knowledge. However, it's possible that your Xbox is acting as an access point, which is causing the hidden network to appear. Let us perform some steps to resolve the issue.



    To disable this feature, you can go to the Xbox settings and select "Network." From there, select "Network settings" and then "Advanced settings." Under "Wireless," you should see an option for "Wireless mode." Change this to "Off" to disable the access point feature.



    We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.



    Sincerely,

    My son can’t get online access to his Account.

    Sorry to hear that.

    To understand it correct. The Xbox didn't connect to WIFI Access Point?

    Please let us more about your Access Point or router to help better. (Type, Modell, etc)

    For sure you tried to restart and hard reset the Xbox and Access Point.

    I thought a 250 GB 360 Had Built in wifi

    you need a wireless access point (usually in a router, but it doesn't have to be) to connect to.

    So yes, you do need a router with an access point, or a wireless access point.
