Instant On Network Issue

BenjaminJohnson1 · Jan 27, 2016

My Xbox One has a strange network issue. When the Xbox is in Instant On mode, and the device is sleeping. The network port connects to my switch at 10Mb. Then my switch forces all of the ports to operate at 10Mb. The result is tons of pixilation on my
TV. If I tell Xbox to turn on, the networking port changes to 1Gb, and the problem goes away. My fix is simple. I keep the Xbox in Eco Mode, or use the wireless networking. Have I discovered a known issue, or is this unique to me.

The switch is a Netgear GS108.

Anyone notice the sign in being slower since the update?

It's been hit and miss for me lately. Sometimes it's instant but a few times it's taking nearly a minute to sign-in. I figured it was either a network issue or a bug with the new dashboard. I'm sure a hotfix will correct this in time.

Network Issues in Instant On mode

It appears to have remained connected via the Wi-Fi however nothing has downloaded in that time so it evidently hasn't resolved the issue.

Hello,

When xbox is in sleep mode it does use internet, because it can update itself and it can be updating or checking for updates for another apps.

Seems like switching to Wi-Fi only has worked. I can't really say why but it has.

Sorry I misread the part about one console, also apologies for the terrible mistypes, using a phone is not ideal!

I'll let you know how it goes, thank you for the help.

Greetings Astrates!

Let me start by saying that the UPnP protocol suite works, or are implemented differently, depending on the make and model of a router/NAT.

This has been an onging issue since the console's launch, and are affecting certain routers/NAT (Make & model). Most routers removes a port mapping when asked, or with the unused rule cleaning feature, which means that a certain binding (IP, Port) can only
be held for the duration of time set by UPnP (IGD). The problem with Instant-On mode enabled seems to be that the Xbox One don't renegotiates a new binding.

However, one of the following steps up front should resolve this.

- Disable Instant-On mode and use Energy saving Power mode.

- Go to Xbox One network settings and force a new binding (UPnP) by doing a
Test multiplayer Connection, and then on your controller, press the following combination:
LT/RT/LB/RB This will bring up the detailed statistics test.

- If you only have one Xbox console on your network, try to manually forwarding network ports used by Xbox Live (Port Forwarding). If you do this, you will need to have UPnP disabled on your router, as UPnP tend to overwrite static NAT.

Port Forwarding requires of a client to have static IP settings. Or if the router support DHCP reservation/IP reservation, it can be used as an alternative to classic static settings on a machine on your network.

If you choose to use static IP settings on client side, remember to alter the DHCP's end address in its pool of addresses, or it can cause IP conflicts between two machines on your network.

Let us know how that goes.

Even if your Ethernet cable seems to work with your PC, try connect your console with a different cable, and or LAN port on your gateway.

If wireless is a suitable solution for you, I'll say, go for it.

Happy gaming and play safe.
