Hi Amelia_364,

Welcome to Microsoft Xbox Community Forum. I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with your Xbox Series X randomly disconnecting from the network. I understand how frustrating this can be. This is not a known issue, and it is likely related to your network settings or router configuration but if deemed that this is already a hardware issue with the console, this can be covered by warranty.

Firstly, I would like to know if you're using a wired or wireless connection to connect your Xbox Series X to the network. If you're using a wireless connection, please try connecting your Xbox Series X to the network using a wired connection to see if the issue persists. This will help us determine if the issue is related to your wireless network.



If the issue persists, please try the following steps:

1. Power cycle your Xbox Series X by holding down the power button on the console for 10 seconds until it turns off. Then unplug the power cable from the console and wait for 30 seconds before plugging it back in and turning on the console.

2. Reset your network settings on your Xbox Series X by going to Settings > General > Network settings > Advanced settings > Alternate MAC address > Clear > Restart.

3. Check your network connection on your Xbox Series X by going to Settings > Network settings > Test network connection. If you see any errors or warnings, try to resolve them by following the suggested solutions.

4. If none of the above steps help, try to update your Xbox Series X's firmware by going to Settings > System > Updates & downloads > Console update available. Follow the instructions on the screen and wait for the update to complete. Then, restart your Xbox Series X and see if the network issue is resolved.



If issue persists, please check this page and follow the steps provided to troubleshoot the issue further: Troubleshoot your network connection speed | Xbox Support



I hope this helps you resolve the issue with your Xbox Series X. Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Kind regards,

Marrion

It's not just with the X. I have a One S and wifi just randomly disconnects and no other device on network has this problem. I have reported it many times but no update to fix it yet.

Hello Ryan Sides,

Welcome to Xbox Forums. We appreciate you for sharing your concern with us.

We understand that you are experiencing issues with your Xbox Series X disconnecting devices randomly. This issue persists may be due to a variety of reasons such as a poor internet connection, full storage capacity, or even background apps running. Let's go ahead and check on this together to see what we can do best to help address your concerns.

Before we proceed, I will be asking you few questions in order to better understand your concerns:

• Was this device working just fine before?
  
• Is it a new Xbox Series X?
  
• Were there changes applied to the device prior the issue occurred?
  
• Do you see an error message when the issue occurs?
  
• Can you provide us a screenshot or video about the issue we have?
  

In the meantime, you may go ahead and perform the following steps for troubleshooting:



1. Check the cables: Make sure that all the cables connected to your Xbox Series X are securely plugged in. If any of the cables are loose, it can cause the device to disconnect randomly.



2. Update your Xbox Series X: Ensure that your Xbox Series X is running on the latest software update. To check for updates, go to Settings > System > Updates & downloads > Console update.



3. Check the power supply: Ensure that your Xbox Series X is connected to a stable power supply. If the power supply is unstable, it can cause the device to disconnect randomly.



4. Reset your Xbox Series X: Try resetting your Xbox Series X to its default settings. To do this, go to Settings > System > Console info > Reset console > Reset and keep my games & apps.



5. Check for interference: Ensure that there are no other devices that may be causing interference with your Xbox Series X. Other wireless devices such as routers, phones, and other gaming consoles can cause interference.

For additional steps, you may check the following:

For a wired connection use: Troubleshoot a wired network connection

For a wireless connection use: Troubleshoot a wireless network connection



I hope this information helps you with the issue for your Xbox Series X disconnecting devices randomly. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know.

I have the same exact problem - just started randomly happening about 3 months ago. Randomly when I power my Series X off it will disconnect from the known router address and I have to keep setting up a network over and over upon launching it the next time. Then it will be fine for a few weeks and out of the blue rinse and repeat.
