Ok so this is a bit weird for me. My Xbox One X can connect to 2.4 ghz just fine. However, it fails to get an IP address from DHCP server on 5 ghz. On the router end, it does get an IP of 192.168.8.125 but for whatever reason, the xbox doesn’t acknowledge it.
Router: Slate (GL-A750S-EXT)
No idea where to proceed from here. I’m happy I can get on 2.4 ghz at least, but I’d prefer to be on 5 ghz just for reliability. (My xbox is near my microwave, which kills the wifi signal)
I’m going to factory reset. It keeps crashing and rebooting itself when I try to connect any device to it. If the problem is still re-occuring, I will post again. If it fixed it, I’ll close the thread or reply “/closed”. If you don’t hear back from me within 3 days, assumed /closed.
Yup, even after a factory reset and restoring my config manually (yes im aware of backup and restore in luci), it still persists. At the very least, the router is no longer crashing whenever I connect to it. Wonder how to log this btw.
A) It is not a phone, it is an Xbox One X.
B) It can connect on 2.4 ghz, but not 5 ghz.
C) I’ve tried assigning a static IP address, on both the router end and the device end.
D) I’ve tried a factory reset.
Try setting option wmm ‘0’ under the wireless config for your 5GHz interface. Can be done in Luci under Network > Wireless > radio0 > Interface Configuration > General Setup > uncheck WMM Mode.
I’m not sure why it causes issues for some devices. It seems to be prevalent with iOS devices primarily, but I have also seen it with others to a lesser extent. Often it will produce an “incorrect password” error before actually prompting for password entry.
Ok can we get wmm working for the xbox? Having it disabled kills my internet speed on 5g, but having it enabled prevents the xbox one from connecting properly. So annoying…
