WLAN stick to Xbox One - these options are available

In order to use all the services of the Xbox One, an Internet connection is necessary. This is required if you want to buy new content from the Microsoft Store or download content or a game. You also need Internet if you want to play with your friends via Xbox Live.

Is it possible to connect a WLAN stick to the Xbox One?

When moving house, it sometimes takes several weeks until the new Internet connection works as desired. In most cases, the use of a WLAN stick with a selected tariff is then a good option. However, if you want to connect your Xbox One to the Internet via a WLAN stick, this is not possible directly.

1. It is not possible to connect a WLAN stick directly to your Xbox One. The device does not recognize the stick and usually can not install the necessary drivers.
2. Since the Xbox One already has a working WLAN adapter integrated, you can connect to the Internet without a stick.
3. If you still need an Internet connection via a surf stick, you can connect it to your laptop or PC.
4. The Xbox One is connected to the laptop via an Ethernet cable.
5. Click on the laptop on the signal strength of the stick. Call the status with the right mouse button.
6. Then go to "Properties" and then "Sharing".
7. Here you activate the option "Allow other users to use the network".
8. Activate the item "LAN" under "Home Network Connection".
