Xbox consoles were only able to remember one Wi-Fi network at a time. The latest update corrects this problem, which forced you to always go back through the configuration box when moving.
Owner of an Xbox Series often the console. It forces you to constantly retype the security code – sometimes complex – of the network to which you are connecting, even if the Xbox has already been associated with it in the past.
Good news: this problem is no longer one since the last update of Xbox consoles, deployed since June 12 (Numerama was able to download and install it before writing this article, without any problem). It adds the ability to store up to ten different Wi-Fi networks. “ You will be able to log in without having to type the password », Indicates Microsoft. It was time for “ the most powerful console on the market “.
Your Xbox is finally able to record multiple Wi-Fi networks
In the settings of the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X, a new “Manage Wireless Networks” tab appears to put things in order. This is where you can remember or forget a network to which the console is connected. With ten different options, you will be able to take your Xbox everywhere (at home, at your parents’ house, at your usual vacation spot, etc.), without having to painfully juggle passwords.
It is strange to note that Microsoft waited so long before integrating this functionality which seems quite innocuous – and which has never been a problem with the competition (even the Nintendo Switch, although far from being the most connected of consoles ). Other tech devices, such as a PC, a tablet or a smartphone, have never experienced this problem either. Perhaps the Redmond company felt that an Xbox was intended to always stay in the same place.
This June update also brings more customization options for the home screen: it is now possible to select a dynamic wallpaper, which will change depending on the game you are about to launch. Let’s also mention the opportunity to manage your subscriptions from the console or the improvements made to the controllers. For example, the adaptive controller, designed for people with disabilities, is compatible with more accessories.
