Multiple Xbox Ones

Me and my brother play Call Of Duty at home together with our Xbox Ones connected directly to the same modem, and have dine for the past year or so no problems. The past 2 days, however, the following problem has occurred...

Xbox A can play games fine alone.

Xbox B gets constant red bar connection alone.

.

Xbox A and B on at the same time both get red bar connection.

If I'm playing on Xbox A, and I turn on Xbox B mid-game, it instantly drops to red bar until I turn off Xbox B. Any ideas as to what is wrong? I tried, power cycling, a different ethernet chord etc. Nothing so far works.

Multiple Xbox Ones?

The XBox One console, how it handles xbox live profiles and how those profiles and moved to other xbox one consoles is very different than the xbox 360.

It may help to spend some time
here, and then go into
support articles specific to any questions you may have after reading.

In short, you cannot put a profile on a jump drive, etc. (it requires them to be downloaded to each console using the internet only)

You also need to think about digital vs. disc purchases based on what meets your needs. (I don't want to input my preferences onto your family)

I would recommend specifically looking at the following:

-Getting Started with XBox One

-Signing In

-Xbox One Family

-Xbox One Home Console and
Usage Rules

This is a lot but I'm careful not to "sale" you on anything, but instead try and point you to information. If you have specifics, feel free to reply or drop into a live chat session.

 

Multiple Xbox Ones

You can use Xbox lives home settings to share your accounts and gold privledges between family members. A Google or YouTube search can show you how to set this up. It allows any accounts associated with the main account access to the gold service of live
as well as access to games purchased. Its a pretty good system for 2 consoles or less.

 

This is a NAT issue. You only have one external internet address, that you got from your ISP. So both consoles on the inside share that external ip when they access internet through your modem. One port can only be used by one console at a time. On the console,
go to Settings and then Network, it will show you what kind of NAT settings the xbox has detected.

Xbox live uses specific ports (plus games use their owns too) and those ports needs to be opened and forwarded to your xbox. Well, Port Forwarding works fine when you have just one xbox. Because you can’t forward the same port to two destinations, it’s a
1-to-1 relationship. If you do setup Port Forwarding, you may get one of the xboxes to work fine, but the other will have issues with voice chat and playing games with others.

The solution to the whole problem is to use something called UPnP. Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of networking protocols that permits networked devices, such as personal computers, printers, Internet gateways, Wi-Fi access points and mobile devices
to seamlessly discover each other’s presence on the network and establish functional network services for data sharing, communications, and entertainment.

Contact your net provider and make sure that your router has full UPnP support.
