Xbox won’t Connect with Controller without unplugging console.

It’s an Xbox One console and yes it does display my wireless network’s name but it won’t connect with it. No codes or error messages come up. It just says it can’t connect to my wireless network and to try unplugging my router/modem for 30 seconds and
then plug it back in which I have done several times and it still won’t connect.

Hello,

It’s rechargeable batteries and now it’s charged but the controller won’t power up without connecting to cable first whatever how long I press the xbox button.

I must connect the controller to the cable first to power on the controller then I can remove it from the cable to keep using on battery.

Is this common?

Hey Vincent,

Yes, you can use the controller while connected to the console using usb cable. This won’t affect performance and won’t damage the controller. Using the controller wired of course means you don’t need to use batteries.

You can also update the controller while connected through USB cable.

Standard xbox one controllers require a micro USB cable. The elite series 2 and xbox adaptive controllers require USB type C cable.

Any questions, I’m happy to help 😊

Yes, your controller will not connect without the HD lead connected to the TV.

The xbox loading screen will not progress without the HD lead connected, so the console never gets to the "connect controller" section.

So the problem has actually gotten worse, the console turns on but the controller won’t connect and the Xbox no longer sends an HDMI signal to the monitor. I ordered a new PSU in hopes that solves the problem
