Xbox One S WiFi Networking Connectivity Issues

What specifically would allow the Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter to connect while the built-in wifi would not?

My Xbox 360 S detects a wireless signal with 4 bars, and I am testing it while sitting it right next to the modem, so there is no issue with signal strength.

My Xbox 360 S's built-in wifi is able to connect to a hotspot, and it is even able to connect to my neighbor's wifi from my house.

Thank you!

Unf-cking believable that this is the fix and there's no way for Microsoft to send a note to everyone who was consistently at 20Mb/p.

I plugged directly into the wall and got 150Mb/s+.

Wow, I can't believe I'm not alone! I have had slow connection problems on the S ever since I got it. I originally had the regular One on wifi downstairs from my router and the speeds were really good and it worked great. I moved that upstairs (now hardwired)
when I got the S a year ago on black friday. For the record it's the grey battlefield 1 500 GB console. I have tried changing DNS servers, powerline adapters and looking up help for every possible thing. UPnP is on, NAT is open for both consoles, console has
always been on energy saver and every device (including the One upstairs) in the house work perfectly fine. Yet no matter what I do, with my 200MB Down and 20MB Up internet, the S can just barely get above 20MB download (usually it was always lower) with around
20MB upload. However even still, downloads drop to KB's and fluctuate like crazy. Sometime it even just stops entirely. Of course this also leads to randomly laggy gameplay, too. I've tried just everything and I just refuse to believe anything other than the
S has some kind of problem. I mean it was already confirmed to have a problem with the instant on feature. How could it possibly be a stretch that maybe, JUST MAYBE, the S has further related problems beyond that bug??? With this thread and others on the internet
it seems to be a very real problem that has been ignored. I'm getting the X eventually, and I honestly rather trade my S in, NOT my regular One, to get it. Let that sink in...

Had the same issue above but now its solved. I contacted Microsoft support and they helped me out in 5 mins - the issue is related to connecting the xbox one s to a power strip or regulator, I connected directly to the wall outlet (the power brick is inside
the xbox and will protect it for power surges) - now it works wonders and connects automatically to wifi when waking up from instant on mode. Hope this helps

This is the first time I've seen this suggestion and I will surely try it. I don't have much hope but I'll take any new idea at this point.

Exact same concerns for me from a brand new machine bought of Black Friday this year. Same concerns as those voiced from 2 years ago from my Xbox One S. I had a day one Xbox One and it recently broke from unrelated concerns and bought it as it was fairly
cheap on black friday. Literally since the first time I used my new xbox, in the same location as my old one, it had terrible connectivity issues. And has never stopped. In my residence is home to around 6 other consoles, 1 original Xbox, my Xbox One S, and
4 PS4's, with all connections running perfectly, except of course mine.

This is absurd that problems stemming years ago that Microsoft has no definitive solution or workaround and seemingly no effort to fix, to go along as well. Even a simple "We are trying our very best to solve these problems.", would be at least a little
comforting. I tried energy saving mode and power recycling countless times with little to no result. As fluid connection is imperative in any multiplayer game, and majority of massive titles are, it makes any game but single player games obsolete and cannot
enjoy playing with friends as is a normally huge component for gamers (and, personally, I have bought many with these intentions). It's just extremely discouraging that something as large as this is seemingly going unnoticed and unanswered, and to see Microsoft
neglect their loyal customers with virtually no response. I'm quite sure this will go unnoticed as well and I'll have wasted countless dollars on a new console and games that are now unable to play.

And if there's seemingly no solution, as I'm uneducated in this technology and all the computer science with it, I understand that problems arise, but at lease have the integrity to admit to it and provide compensation for your customers.

I picked up a one s on black Friday. Same issues as stated by everyone else. I am going to try to set mine to energy mode and do a power cycle tonight. This is my secondary Xbox and sadly, where it is located if I hardwire it in I get a double NAT error
due to having my own WAP wired into my Comcast gateway. If I set my Comcast gateway to bridge mode, then I lose the ability to hardwire my primary Xbox. Basicaly they just need to fix this issue. Are there any active Xbox admins around reading this?

I got the XBox One X at the beginning of December and all appeared well. A couple of days ago we have a power outage which caused the router to disconnect from the internet. Since this I have had issues connecting with connection to the router dropping.

Last night I was playing Destiny 2 when the connection to my router dropped out yet again. This time I was unable to reconnect to my router; the SSID came up but the XBox would not connect at all. To attempt to resolve this I power cycled the XBox, cleared
the secondary MAC address as well as rebooted my router. Despite this the XBox still won't connect to the router, even though other devices connect without an issue.

I will attempt the factory reset but not sure if this will help.

Any other advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
