Xbox SX will not connect to my Verizon LTE home internet

Bricktrucker · Jul 28, 2022

I just got my new Verizon LTE home internet which is a white cube for home internet. My issue is when I try to connect wireless from my Series X it refuses to connect. I select the ssid & enter the correct password, but after a short try for connection it reverts to tell me to enter the password again. Like I typed it in wrong. However, the password is right. I've connected a different Xbox S in my home fine (wireless) with no issues. If I turn off security then I can connect my series X with no issues, and am able to play games etc. Is there some setting I'm unaware of that I need to change so I can secure my wifi and play? I've never heard of this issue. I should note i ran an eth cable from the cube also and it connected, but I wasn't able to join games with the other player in my house. Very weird & I'm flummoxed

Ok, so it's fixed. Here's what I did. Went into wifi settings, turned off band steering, turned off 2.4ghz while leaving 5ghz on. Under 5ghz I did as you recommended and set channel bandwidth to 40Mhz. I think that's what fixed it. However, I should add that while I was waiting on the router to update all this info; I cleared alt mac address & allowed the console to reset. Thanks and I hope this helps others as I've read similar post, but no one mentioned to be sure and turn off band steering & 2.4ghz while leaving only one on. Maybe I missed that & maybe its elementary for some ppl, but again I hope this helps.

Hello, Bricktrucker. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

Would you please try to change your wireless network password and see if this helps? Please make sure to use WPA2 instead of WPS. Also, I would suggest you to configure your wireless bandwidth to around 40-50Mhz. While there is no official statement about this, I have seen several users with wireless connection issues on Xbox consoles that got it solved by just changing the wireless bandwidth to 40-50Mhz.

Feel free to ask back any questions and please let me know how it goes.

I used a hot spot to game while my internet was down. It was good for a temporary fix but I noticed burst of lag every now and then. It seems to me this is also happening to you.

.

I looked into others trying the 4G LTE (as I was using the Nokia 900) and found this :

He stated that his connection " occasionally crap out in short bursts and greatly impact gameplay". He also mentions that his NAT is strict and has no way around it.

.

The connection greatly depends on your area and signal strength. Even then it is still, literally, up in the air. I don't believe it is your xbox. Perhaps if you had a friend with a wireless connection you could check it with?.

.

In the end having a closed NAT and burst of service interruption makes this a poor choice in a permanent solution,
