    I want an option to opt out wifi connected consoles when match making


    I would really really really like an option to exclude wifi connected consoles for online multiplayer, I only want to play with other people who have there consoles connected by hard line to the network. The lag in some of the online matches is just atrocious and
    I know its not my connection based on what the xbox one is telling me and external line checks and speed test so if its not me and its not ms and xbox live then it has to be the other players and the wifi connection and the tethering of xbox ones to mobile
    hot spots. I know it may take longer to find matches but so be it I want quality over quantity at the very least an option to exclude consoles with sub par connections!!!

    :)

    Why when i test my xbox live connection does it say its working, but it doesn't?

    How are you connecting to the internet? Are you using a wired connection, or a wireless (WiFi)? I had a console where a WiFi connection would give me occasional problems, so you would want to check that out.

    Stupid Question but advice is appreciated

    I've been getting a lot of lag when online gaming. I currently use a wifi connection with my xbox one. I know a wired connection is always the best but have just opted for wifi based on convenience. Today I decided to order a 15ft ethernet cord off amazon. What's the best way to setup my wired connection. Should I go through my router or modem? To be honest I haven't used a wired connection since pre wifi days so can someone tell me what ports to plug into, and if going wired even makes a noticable difference.

    Was tricked into opting into the Simply Rewarding offer. Want to opt out.

    I don't think there is an option to opt out, but you'll want to post in the support section of this forum to see if support can opt you out.

    Networking hardware question

    Hi there,

    simple question indeed, but as far as I know there is no technical details about that.

    I do know that when a cable is connected you won't be able to select Wifi (connect to the wifi network) as network option.

    And since as far as I know the Wifi option is only one that can connect to a wifi network, it in itself isn't broadcasting in a way that other devices can find or connect to the console via Wifi, as in it's not a hotspot etc.

    option to exclude players with poor connections from match making

    You miss the point, they arnt excluded from match making I just dont want to be matched with people with poor connections this was something that was available on the original xbox, it even came with a disclaimer that match making times could be increased
    but at least everyone had a solid connection and the longer wait time resulted in better game play, im sorry my ADD isnt as bad as everyone else is, id rather have better game play than more game play, with the wide range of internet speeds available i really
    only want to play with other people who have the same good connections and not some stooge who has his xbox one tethered to a wifi hot spot or some public wifi, they wanna watch netflix or youtube fine but when it comes to online multipalyer put the slow kids
    with the slow kids and the fast kids with the fast kids its not to much to ask like I said it was an option on the OG XBOX

    So am I to understand that you have no real answer?

    Yup. Those are businesses for ya. xP Imagine Microsoft and EA took the same route, since I don't remember hearing any 'opt out' options popping up on my friend's console two years ago. What it makes me wonder is whether a similar opt-out option would exist
    for the X1, or if this time it's 'Take it or leave it.'
