Xbox connecting to wifi




















Or, turn off MAC filtering temporarily on your router to see if MAC filtering is preventing your console from connecting. Here's how:. Select Advanced settings. Write down your Wireless MAC address. To change MAC filtering settings on your router, refer to your router documentation or the hardware manufacturer's website.

If you change your router's MAC filtering settings, restart your router before trying to connect. Step 5: Change the wireless channel. If another nearby wireless network is broadcasting on the same channel as your router, or if there is wireless interference from devices such as a baby monitor or a cordless phone, you may experience poor signal strength from your wireless network.

Step 6: Check the wireless channel width. Most wireless routers broadcast on a channel width of either 20 MHz or 40 MHz. The Xbox console prefers a 20 MHz setting. Check to make sure your wireless router is broadcasting on a 20 MHz setting. Step 7: Change the wireless mode. If a wireless router is configured to transmit in "mixed" mode, it will continuously scan for wireless devices and then broadcast a signal that is compatible with the slowest device on the network.

In highly populated areas where many wireless devices are present, your router may continually alter its wireless signal in order to maintain compatibility with every device it detects. This can cause connection or performance issues if your router reconfigures itself frequently.

You can resolve this issue by setting your router to broadcast in a specific mode. Note Setting your router to broadcast only in a specific mode can prevent some devices with slower networking adaptors from connecting to your network. Step 8: Check for low wireless signal. A weak wireless signal can cause slow game performance and connectivity issues.

To check your wireless signal strength:. Your wireless signal strength is indicated as a percentage on the Detailed network status screen. If your signal strength is low, continue to the next step. Step 9: Try to improve your wireless signal strength. Each time you try one of the following methods of improving your signal, you should recheck your Detailed network statistics to see if your signal strength was improved.

This will help you verify which solution s did the most to improve your signal, and will identify what factors interference, distance, range may have been causing your connection issues:. Move your router or gateway off the floor and away from walls and metal objects such as metal file cabinets. Dense objects can interfere with the wireless signal.

Move your Xbox console off the floor and away from walls and metal objects. Remove your console from an enclosed entertainment centre, bookshelf, or TV stand.

Shorten the distance between your console and your wireless router or gateway. Ideally, your network hardware should be near the centre of your home. Check for sources of active and passive wireless interference. Interference can shorten the effective range of your wireless signal and can be a cause of random disconnections. Add a wireless repeater to extend your wireless network range. You can boost your signal strength by placing a wireless repeater halfway between your router or gateway and your console.

Add an external wireless bridge. If your wireless router is not near the console, an external wireless bridge can be used to receive the wireless signal so that you can connect the console through a wired connection to the bridge. Step Change your encryption type. There are currently three wireless network encryption types that are commonly used in home networks:. You can try changing the encryption method to see if that corrects the connection error. We recommend that you use WEP only as a last resort, because it is less secure than the other two methods.

The encryption that is configured on your Xbox console must match the encryption method that is used by your wireless network.
