- Now open Advanced settings and open DNS settings.
- Set it to Automatic to let Xbox configure the network DNS automatically.

Solution 4: Restart your Router or Plug Directly
Unplug both the console and router from the power supply. Wait for a minute and then reconnect both of them. Once the router and console starts, check by connecting to your network that Netflix works. After a hard reboot, the network connection should work most probably.
But in some cases, if it doesn’t, you can try connecting the modem directly to the console. To do so,
- Turn off both console and router and unplug from the power source.
- Unplug the modem cable (Ethernet cable) from the router.
- Plug the cable into the ethernet port of your Xbox one console.
- Now turn on your console and check if the issue persists.
Even though if the issue is solved, this cannot be said as a permanent solution. You may need other devices to connect to the network. So, you have to check with the router settings that cause this issue to happen. Refer manuals received with the router to reset or reconfigure it. Or call in the technician who installed and configured the router for you.
Solution 5: Contact your ISP
If none of the solutions work for you, then you have no option than to contact your ISP to get a solution for the issue. Because they can help with properly configuring routers and network settings for you.
