Yes, you can connect your smartphone to work as a controller, but not without a few caveats. To do so, you need the Xbox One Smartglass app, or if you have a Windows 10 phone, the Xbox app works as well.
As you have noticed yourself, your phone needs to be connected to the same network as your Xbox. It doesn't have to be the same Wifi, though. As long as your smartphone is connected to a Wifi antenna connected to the same home network the Xbox is connected to, it will work. It is possible that you have multiple networks if not properly configured, though. For instance, if your Wifi access point is configured to act as a DHCP server, everything connected to your Wifi will indeed belong to a different network from everything that isn't, while your access point will belong to both networks.
Finally, even if you do manage to connect your smartphone to your Xbox One, you won't be able to play many games. The Smartglass and Xbox apps only offer face buttons, which is A, B, X, Y, Menu, View, the D-pad, and the Guide button (the button with the Xbox logo).
A lot of games would require you to make use of the analog sticks, or the shoulder buttons (RB/LB and RT/LT) as well.
It is possible to use an old Xbox 360 controller by streaming your Xbox One through a Windows PC/laptop. I'm not sure about older Windows versions, but the (official) Xbox app on Windows 10 lets you do just this.
The controller either needs to be wired (and plugged directly into the usb port on your PC/laptop) or you will need a wireless adapter. You'll still need your PC/laptop on the same network as your Xbox One.
Microsoft announced they are releasing their Project xCloud as a new feature in Xbox Game Pass on September 15. This will be available on Android, but not iOS (for now, at least). While I don't want to get into whether Apple should allow this or not, I did want to address the "how is this different from Netflix?" question I've seen thrown out a lot.
Not that it needs an introduction, but Netflix is a subscription service that gives you access to a large library of video content. You pay a monthly fee to Netflix (via their website, not via IAP) and that gives you access to everything they produce, past, present, and future. When a new movie or show is added to Netflix, it doesn't require them to update their app because the content lives online.
Xbox Game Pass is a monthly subscription service that you pay for, and it gives you access to play a bunch of games for free on your Xbox or PC today, and in a month it will allow you to stream those games to an Android phone or tablet. The games are physically stored in the cloud and they are streamed to your local device. Like Netflix, as Microsoft adds or removes content, no app updates will be required because of course, nothing is running on the local device.
To my eyes, these are the same thing. You're paying a subscription fee to a third party, that party provides a list of content to the user that's streamed to their device, and that content is dynamic and changes over time.
It's unclear to me how in-app purchases will work with these streamed games. Currently, Game Pass users get most base games for free, but you can pay for expansions to get more content for those games. Also, as far as I know, there are no consumable IAPs in Game Pass games the likes of something like Candy Crush that we have on mobile (if I'm wrong here, let me know what games do it so I can update this article). But even if this carries over the streamed games, how is this different from Disney+ allowing you to pay $30 to add Mulan to your library?
On another note, Stadia is brought up as well, but I think Stadia is a different situation. Unlike Game Pass, Stadia makes you buy your own games and then only those games are available on your account. You get the occasional free game, but I think this is a very different business model, so it's not as clear as I think Game Pass is.

A few days ago my roommates and myself changed the name of our wifi and since then myself and my other roommate have been unable to "Get Teredo IP" on our XBOX and are unable to play on XBOX live. We can watch Netflix on our Xbox's and access the internet, however we are both unable to play games on xbox live (i.e. access COD servers). Since this problem is happening to both of our consoles I believe it is a problem with our wifi, if anyone has experienced this before please let me know. It is rather frustrating.
I'm also unable to get a Teredo IP address, completely unrelated to SSID. I just upgraded from 600 to Fibre+, and since installing the new hardware, my NAT has been unavailable. I've verified my port forwarding is correct & power cycled my gateway with no success. Ideas?
WANT TO REVERT TO THE OLD NETFLIX HERES HOW- if your like me (and pretty much everyone ive talked to you hate teh new netflix interface. why they literally screwed up everthing about it i dont know. but the good news is the old netflix app is still on your xbox and you can still use it.
STEP 1 hit the xbox button and goto the gams tab and select quickplay,then goto the al tab on the right and scroll down till you find the old netflix app (it should be a little white flim strip in th emiddle not the shiny red on at the top) select this now. you should get an error message but jsut click ok
STEP 2 now you should be at a netflix screen that tells you theres and error and you need to register netflix on this console and it should have the register code in the background covered by the error message.leave it on this screen and then
STEP 3 go online to your netflix account and click on the YOUR ACCOUNT & HELP link at the top rigth. it will bring you to the accpunt page scroll down a little bit and under the WATCHING INSTANTLY ON YOUR TV OR COMPUTER section click the MANAGE NETFLIX READY DEVICES AND COMPUTERS LINK. then click the disconnect device button and confirm
STEP 4 finally got back to your xbox (which should be on the netflix screen with the error message and the option to TRY AGAIN click this now and it shoudl remove the error mesage and show you the registration code enter this now on your computer and presto the Old (and much better) netflixs app.
you can use either app now without having to do all that stuff again but you can only access the old netflix app through the quickplay option. if you click on the netflix icon it will brign you to the new (and annoying) one. its so sad that we have to do this they shoudl simlpy give us the option of which we want to use but they would rather force the new on on us anyways ENJOY GUYS and thumbs up if you found this usefull
Regardless, absolute credit to Fleshpuppet for this info. I'm creating the thread that way people who don't like the new Netflix have an idea how to get their beloved previous version back. Unfortunately, no fix for the new Dashboard...probably won't be =/
However, if you were already on the old Netflix you can stay on it for as long as you wish to keep your Xbox console running...so at least you can get a few final moments with the old setup before wishing it farewell (unless you're one of the lucky few it doesn't corrupt for).
OH wll not 10 hours after i posted this they disabled it. WHY i ask you, do they care if i want to use their old interface. it wasnt hurting anythgin by allowing me to use the older (and far greater) program espically since its on my xbox still just sitting there on my harddrive. this is like cyber facisim. i dont like the new version and im not just shouting whiney non sese complaints but i had VALID reasons and it jsut a dick thign to do. so even though ive been and XBOX LIVE subscriber since the original xbox and even though i jsut puurchased an xbox kinect bundle for christmas. i will be returning it and canceling my subscription. turning off my auto renew and gettign a netflix box from netflix.com. i know they dont care and that to them it doesnt matter but i was a diehard xbox fanboy and now i hate the service. PLEASE i urge yo uto call 18004myxbox and let them know your displeasure and perhaps they will fix at least this but i doubt it.
Netflix, being one of the world's largest video streaming platforms, offers compatibility with various devices, including Xbox models such as the Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One X/S, and Xbox Series X/S. Streaming Netflix on Xbox rather than a TV liberates users from the constraints of a limited or outdated user interface. By connecting Xbox consoles to larger screens, users can enjoy a cinematic experience while streaming Netflix.
In this post, we have prepared a comprehensive guide that will walk you through the entire process of getting Netflix on the Xbox console. Get ready to elevate your entertainment to new heights with Netflix on your Xbox.
Compatible Netflix Application Version: Confirm that your Xbox device supports the Netflix app, such as Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One X/S, or Xbox Series X/S. Meanwhile, ensure you have the latest version of the Netflix app compatible with your Xbox console.
Stable Internet Connection: Ensure you are signed into the Xbox Live network and have a stable internet connection. You can use either a wired Ethernet connection or connect via Wi-Fi. This is necessary to complete the app installation and stream videos seamlessly.
Netflix Subscription: Although you can download the Netflix app for free without an Xbox Live Gold membership, you will still need an active Netflix subscription to access and watch Netflix content. If you don't have an account, you can sign up for one on the Netflix website.
