  1. Xbox Series X - Forgets network/Doesn't detect Wifi Networks


    For the last few days, since the latest Alpha update, every time I boot up my Series X it fails to connect online. When I go to the Network Settings and select Set Up Wireless Network, none show up and instead my only option is to manually type in the SSID. A hard boot (power off then unplugging power cord for 30 seconds then plug back in/turn back on) fixes it each time. After the hard boot, the system connects online automatically and even identifies the available wifi network available.

    Has anyone else experienced this? I would submit a Report a Problem ticket BUT I can't do it when I'm offline and when I'm online, it doesn't show the issue.

    When I need to connect to a new network via WiFi my x box series s will refresh but nothing will pop up

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Xbox forum.

    It seems that your Xbox Series S will detect nothing after trying to connect to another network. Let's work on this together in finding the best possibl esolution to this issue.

    There are a few things you can try to resolve this issue:



    1. Make sure your Xbox Series S is within range of your WiFi network and that the network is turned on and broadcasting.



    2. Restart your Xbox Series S and try connecting to the network again.



    3. Check that your WiFi network is not hidden. If it is, you will need to manually enter the network name and password.



    4. Try resetting your network settings on your Xbox Series S. To do this, go to Settings > Network > Network settings > Advanced settings > Alternate MAC address > Clear.



    I hope this helps. Looking forward for your response!

    Sincerely,

    Leonardo_Y

    Microsoft won't fix connections to hidden wifi networks on Xbox Series X/S

    The xbox series x/s is completely incapable of connecting to hidden wifi networks. There are various tricks/hacks people are using which may or may not work, but it is not supported natively.

    I cannot connect to hidden wifi networks. It will not find my ssid when manually entered.

    Wifi network detection buggy

    Greetings EssCee!

    Thank you for sharing this!

    Appreciate if you could post up the make and model of your router and the current version of firmware, but also the make and model of your modem (if this is not a singel device).

    -

    Which Security method have you setup for your wireless network?

    -

    Does your console termimates to the router, or an access point in between?

    -

    What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

    -

    Thank you!

    Forgetting a network

    I'm not sure what you mean by forgetting local home hubs? I believe if you reset your network settings to default though, that should clear any networking information on the console, to do so:

    Restore Network Defaults

    1. Press the Guide Button on your controller, go to Settings.

    2. Select System Settings then Network Settings.

    3. Select Wired Network or your wireless network when displayed.

    4. Select Configure Network then Additional Settings tab.

    5. Select Restore to Factory Defaults then confirm when prompted.

    Hope that helps!
