  1. Limiting network bandwidth usage while downloading updates


    This is probably the opposite of the question that usually gets asked regarding network bandwidth usage, but figured I'd ask anyway.

    Whenever I download any kind of update, my xbox one uses all of my available network bandwidth. Is there any way to manage this to set a download speed cap? So, instead of using 50MBps to download updates, the xbox is limited to 25MBps to dowload updates?

    :)

    Yeah you use your network tools

    Usually your router and use your QoS

    Thats what its for

    Managing your network

    You never do it in devices and yes thats what a router is for

    How to throttle bandwith for Xbox SX?

    I ended up getting a managed network switch ( I think it's actually a smart switch as most managed switches are hundreds of dollars) to limit the bandwidth usage. I amazed Microsoft doesn't offer a network bandwidth usage limiting feature. Steam has it!

    Extreme Bandwidth Usage

    Hi there Omega,

    Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about the current issue with bandwidth usage. I recommend to try the following resource article from the Xbox Support website:

    Manage network bandwidth for game downloads on Xbox One
    .

    Features that are implemented in bandwidth usage are game updates, system updates, multiplayer matches, party chats, game DVR uploads/downloads, and any new downloads.

    Hope this helps. Let us know.
