Hi,
Brand new customer, just installed today..have noticed that my Xbox series x only connects via WiFi 4, not 6..any suggestions to get it onto 6?!
I'm stumped, VM connect app not working and neither is my virgin media app?
Not exactly a great start!
AHH! Maybe this, router is downstairs, Xbox is upstairs, probably too far away then!
Xbox Series X is 802.11ac Wifi 5. You can't upgrade the internal Wifi to Wifi 6 802.11ax. It will work with Wifi 6 routers, but will not be any faster.
As for the Connect app, I think VM were having issues with this today, as there were several threads this morning about connectivity. Personally I don't use it.
Oh, that's interesting, I was led to believe series x was WiFi 6 compatible.
I stand corrected, thanks!
Yes, "compatible" as in it will work with a Wifi 6 router or Access Point. I use an ethernet cable, can't be bothered faffing around with Wifi if I can cable ... ;-)
I assumed mentioning Wi-Fi 4 means the X-BOX is picking the 2.4GHz band.
A Hub 5 has Wi-Fi 6 on both bands.
True, but there is a lack of information. It may be the XBox is too far away to lock onto the 5Ghz band.
AHH! Maybe this, router is downstairs, Xbox is upstairs, probably too far away then!
Best to cable, if not possible look at powerline adapters. VM may want to rent you Pods for £8 pm as a solution depending on what Contract you are on.
