  1. 2 Xbox’s trying to play Fortnite a the same time….


    I have an Xbox series S & an Xbox one. I also have XBOX Game Pass Core and have created accounts for my daughters. They are each signed into an Xbox and want to play Fortnite live. The game is free but i can only sign into one “home” Xbox and when I do that the other child on the other Xbox can’t play. Kind of new to all this so don’t understand what we’re doing wrong. What’s the use of having family sharing on the account if both kids can’t play on each Xbox at the same time?

    :)

    2 Xbox’s trying to play Fortnite a the same time….

    Hi David, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    Please, make sure to set the account that has the subscription as the Home Console of the person who does not have it.

    Take a look here for a detailed guide: https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox

    Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.

    Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Personalization, and then select My home Xbox.

    To make this your home Xbox, select Make this my home Xbox.

    Keep in mind that Game Share is only allowed within the same household.

    Let me know if it works!

    Trying to play 2 xboxs at same time..

    Hey there db BreeZ!

    Your Ubee dw3611 should be properly configured in bridge mode. Make sure Ubee dw3611's firewall is disabled as well.

    Do not configure any of your console's with a static IP address. Instead, make sure both console's are set to obtain IP address and DNS server automatic.

    Make sure UPnP is enabled on your Netgear router. If any of the other forwarding rule's are enabled, (DMZ, Port Forward, Port Triggering) turn them off.

    Visit Netgear website and make sure your router is up-to-date with the latest version of firmware.

    Keep us posted!

    I have the same router and I actually have 3 Xboxes hooked up to it, all wireless. So it probably isn't router related. I will assume that you are not trying to use the same Xbox Live Accounts on both simultaneously as that won't work.

    A few ideas / things to check:

    Are you using static IP addresses for each xbox? I've found that at times I've had to switch from static to DHCP assigned and vice versa.

    If you hook up each one at a time does it work? Is it one of the two that is the problem.

    Have you upgraded the firmware on the router to the latest?

    Have you changed any settings within the router? What you could try is giving the one Xbox a static IP address and setting it in the Router DMZ. Then let the other one get an assigned IP address DHCP.

    Contact TWC and have them reset your cable modem or request a firmware update for the modem.
