Linksys (Routers) Linksys EA6500: “Hardware Problem”
Hello there I actually just replied to someone else's post with the same issue with the same router. I use the EA7500 in my house as well and had the same issue. What I found was that the issue was actually with a firmware update from Linksys. For some reason,
I'm not sure why, it made it incompatible with my Xbox. So I simply reverted to a previous version of the router's firmware and the issue was resolved. However, I'm not sure as to whether or not Microsoft or Linksys have resolved this compatibility issue,
and I have yet to update my router's firmware out of fear that my Xbox won't be able to connect to my wifi again.

Chose EA6500 because the &%)) is not available on the website to choose. How is it possible that this is the 7th post about the Linksys EA7500 router and Support can't tell anyone why the xbox one won't connect?

@TTheinfamous1- I am now running the new Netgear Nighthawk R7000 as of last month- before that the Linksys EA6500 router. No problems with either - just using UpNP.

Hello there I had the exact same issue with the exact same router about a month ago. Everything was working fine except the Xbox. After some research I found out the the issue was that Linksys released a firmware update that, for some reason, made it incompatible
with the Xbox. So I simply reverted back to an older version of the router firmware and it worked fine again. However, I'm still unsure as to whether or not Microsoft/Linksys has resolved this issue.

Linksys E3000 is not supported by Xbox live. You can see a list of Linksys routers supported by Xbox live:

forums.xbox.com/.../default.aspx

You should try to get another router/modem.
