Xbox Series X WiFi Connection Inconsistency

RJ Thandii · Jun 5, 2021

Hello, I have a problem with my Series X that I received yesterday. From doing side by side tests with my xbox one and series x, my xbox one has an amazing connection to my wifi and I do not lag within games. Whereas (from the same location and connected to the same wifi as the xbox one) my series x has awful latency and download speed and they are very unstable and inconsistent. I am unable to play games online due to this which is awful. Will there be a fix for this any time soon? Also, just to confirm that this is not an issue with my wifi as my xbox one works perfectly fine with it.

If you haven't already, I suggest checking this link: Troubleshoot your network connection speed | Xbox Support as it contains steps that might help with the issue!

I have one Xbox (Series X) wired via Ethernet. I can play on WiFi with no disconnects but I prefer a wired connection for gaming.

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.

Hi there. I have tried almost every possible method of restarting, resetting and everything inbetween. Ports are forwarded, etc.

The thing is, I have my Xbox One and Series X set up beside each other. Due to the Series X’s problems, I can switch off my Series X, and switch on my Xbox One, and have no connection issues.

Both playing on the same wifi, both wireless connection, with all the same settings (except the Series X is running on 120fps).

Something is not right with the Series X and I believe it’s more than just needing to reset my MAC address...
