I ran into an issue where my Xbox Series X apparently disconnected from my Wi-Fi network and it wouldn't automatically reconnect. And when I tried to manually connect, it kept failing. I finally figured out how to connect and figured I'd share the info! Hopefully it helps!

You can also just go into "Advanced settings" then "Alternate MAC address" then choose "CLEAR" to clear your MAC address, then the console will soft reset.

I tried a lot of the other "fixes" that didn't fix my internet issue on the Xbox series X. I then ran across your video and tried it and it now works like a charm. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

@@Tw0_Tones21 Clearing cache worked for me (for a while) but Xbox suddenly made it harder to even do that. Changed the menu and everything. Look up the video "How To Clear Sytem Cache On Xbox Series X/S" by Simon Explains. Note: After clearing cache you'll now have to sign in again and possibly have to reassign whatever custom settings you had. I'm just gonna stick with starting the console twice to connect lol.

I simply just connected my series x through my Ethernet cable connected from my wifi router and gave my console a hard reset through settings> system> console info> reset console. Make sure you keep your saved games and apps though!! It will not keep your progress if you are offline so make sure you are connected to wifi to hard reset. I then went back into settings after the reset and I logged back into my account to connect back to wifi wirelessly and it connected! This at least worked for me hopefully for someone else that needs help too👌🏽
