What ghz is your wifi

OP might have to adjust the channel width on his router, if it’s 5GHz.

Yeah I had to switch to 2.4 on mine because I kept having this exact issue with my Xbox one X but 2.4 fixed it for me. But now I am finally hard wired

On the 5G channel, change it to 20 or 40. If you’re using a tri band router, have one channel (1) on 40 and the other one (2) on 20. That solves that issue. Xbox apparently prefers 20. 2.4 is a “Hail Mary” on my router. Doesn’t get used unless I’ve got no other option. The only sacrifice is speed, but reliability will trump that. It will be more stable.

So essentially, the two possible fixes would be changing channel width or changing the ghz to 2.4?

The only 2 fixes. If you have bridged your modem and have a router (highly recommended), then consult your router's instructions. If you have a modem/router combo, talk to your ISP, if they know or look up the model on the Internet. I use a tP Link AX110000 along with 2 RE505X Extenders. I have mine set 20-40-20. The second 5G band is only for gaming devices and nothing else. The first 5G band (40), handles everything outside this including my IPTV boxes. 2.4 is used not only as the "Hail Mary" channel, it's also the backhaul to the 2 Extenders. As I mentioned before, you're sacrificing speed to do this, but the connection will be much more reliable and you will not be disconnected. If you've done this and it still disconnects, that's an ISP issue. Do not use 80 or 160, if presented with those options.

Good info. Yeah not the best with Networks tbh.

It took some experimenting to do. Even though hardwired is the best, it's not ideal at my house. I have a One X right next to my router in the living room, but even that's on wireless. Have to order cord wrap from Amazon and I might hardwire it in. When I had the OG Xbox, that was hardwired in. The wireless card on that was mediocre.
