Xbox hotspot connection

I just connect to xbox live with the mobile hotspot to watch Netflix and YouTube. I've been doing that for a year. Then right after the smartphone update Xbox won't connect to the phones hotspot.

I tried the hard reset and turning off the hotspot and back on again but the Xbox still can't connect to the network.

You could also start a VPN.

Also could use a hotspot service on your laptop. In which, you would connect to a hotel wifi on your laptop, broadcast your wifi signal out using a hotspot app. Then connect your xbox to the said hotspot from your computer. Then you can sustain connection
to Xbox Live.

It might work if your phone can access devices connected to it when it's set up as a hotspot.

However, if the Hotspot is only designed to directly route WiFi traffic from connected devices to it's cellphone modem, then it won't work.

So it's worth a try: Enable the WiFi hotspot function on your phone. Connect your console to the Hotspot.

Launch the OneCast App, and see if it finds the connected Xbox.

If it doesn't, then you really need to unpack your router.

Was the hotspot connection popping up in network setting on Xbox?

Hey there!

Sorry to hear you continue to run into this issue with connecting to your Hotspot. When you are attempting to connect to your phones hotspot do you receive any error messages when trying to connect or do you not see the hotspot under the available networks?
Have you attempted to connect to a different mobile devices hotspot to see if this changes anything?

Unfortunately if your console is just not connecting to your hotspot specifically it could be something with the new update that is blocking the console from connecting to this network.

I Hope this helps.
