My xbox one wireless controller works fine on my xbox one but it is not recognized when I try to use it on another xbox one.

controller connection issues

So yesterday my controller was working fine, wireless connection to my xbox and everything. Then i went to a friends house and used a play and charge kit to connect to my friend's xbox and it worked fine. I come home today and now my controller can't connect
to my xbox through wireless even when i try to reestablish connections and everything. My other controller can connect to my xbox right now using wireless. Anyone have any solutions?

Networking Issue

I would agree with you but I hard-lined it at a friend's house, no kicking. WTF? I know hard-line is better but wireless still shouldn't kick me. Especially when my router and modem is better than my friend's.

I will charge it for a day and see if that helps.

I don't know any friends with an xbox around my house, so I can't try that.

Yes, it's an MS brand controller. It came with the xbox itself when I bought it. Wireless.

I had this problem with MS bluetooth headset, I've gone back to using old white wireless one. I think my problem was interference from other wireless devices. It works Ok at my friends house, and I have a lot of wireless devices. My house alarm has wireless
sensors.

Hello, Just wondering, Have you used your wireless controllers on any other Consoles? If so are they nearby (Ie. Friends house etc). If all else fails, there is a accessory which plugs into the wireless controller and more or less turns it into a wired one,
While charging the batteries (If rechargeable) Here is a link to the product I am talking about:

This can also sometimes happen when someone nearby uses a wireless controller for their console. I share a house with three other people, so I'm close enough to one guy who has wireless controllers and they turn on my 360 once in a while.

A good way to combat that is to leave controllers plugged into both ports.
