How To Fix Foxtel Error Code X101?


Fix 1: Check Your Internet Connection/ Reboot your Modem and Device

The error code X101 usually hits your screen when there is a network outage or if there is some issue with your internet connection. Do the following to fix the issue.

As we have already discussed earlier, the primary reason behind this error code is internet connectivity or slow internet speed, so the first thing we have to ensure is that our internet connection is stable and giving decent speed.

You can try connecting to any alternate Wifi or a mobile hotspot to check if Foxtel is working over the other internet or not.

If you find that your Foxtel is working fine over the other internet then it explains that it’s your internet that needs to be fixed. Give a Power cycle to your Router to treat your internet connection.

To restart your Router, unplug the power cable from the router and let it unplugged for a few minutes. Then replug in the power cable back into the wall outlet and turn on the router.

Wait till your device is reconnected to the internet and then check if it has fixed the issue or not.
