    Situation not resolved

    If you would like to continue troubleshooting your network, please contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or network administrator for further assistance with performing the following steps:

    • Checking the MAC filtering settings of the wireless router
      • If the wireless router you are attempting to connect to has enabled MAC filtering, this will block your console from connecting. You can resolve this by entering the console's MAC address into the router settings, or disabling this setting.
    • Disabling the password requirement on the router and testing without this.
      • If you are able to connect online without a password enabled on the wireless router, it could indicate an error related to this setting on the router. If this is the case, try changing the wireless password or wireless password type (e.g. change this setting from WPA-AES to WPA2-AES) and see if this resolves the error.
      • Important: If you change the wireless password setting on your router, you will need to update this setting on any wireless devices that connect to your router (laptops, smart devices, etc.).

    If you would like to continue troubleshooting potential issues related to the wireless router, contact the router's manufacturer for assistance with performing the following steps:

    • Updating the wireless router's firmware
    • Resetting the router back to its factory default settings
