Hello "COD 2 HALO" and "gds1972"

.........

Unfortunately for me, my internet and stuff was set-up by someone else so I have absolutely no idea what to do

..........

I just bought the equipment and someone else did the rest.

.........

I am satisfied with my new and better connection now

........

Have a nice day or afternoon or night "COD 2 HALO" and "gds1972"

My xbox 1 says my wireless strength is 100%. Its only a couple of metres from the router. ÑZ ISPs recommend you use their modems as they are more tuned to the network. If you use their modems they will help if you have technical difficulties with the modem.
If you use your own modem, theyll just refer you to the manufacturer of that modem... LOL. I blame the Internet Infrastructure. Simple.

Obviously your service provider speeds are important as I am sure some will and probably already have pointed out. And if the following is a repeat of others sorry in advance.

Where is your wifi extender? Make sure it has good connection. I am not saying you did not or have not done this. But, if the extender is in a place where devices get 1 bar I would say that can be the issue. IF, this is important, you are getting better
speeds near to your main wifi point. I have seen people use these extenders and put them in places where the connection strength is "1 bar" and tests fairly weak. Then when the put in the extender it seems to make it a much stronger connection. Only the
extender is not getting a great connection so it this setup can be slower than it should.

I will say for a wired connection here is what I have done at my place. Not sure if it is possible at yours but just a possible suggestion. I put in a jack so I could connect a port on my wifi to it with a short cable. That port was connected to a wire
that was ran straight under the house to the other new jack at the destination. Making this run almost straight and not having to go around stuff made if much shorter. On that jack I put I another router and that is the access point for a lot of wifi devices
in my house. Speeds are fantastic on that connection. Not as fast as my main connection that I use but even with 3 xbox consoles, 3 phones, and 4 tablets they all have fast connection. And, if you can do that and get that one port to your xbox it could
really speed things up. Not sure but your ISP should be able to do this if you cannot. Just call and ask them. They do it here, not very high $$ wise, but I would rather do it myself.

So, I'm with Telus (Canada)... went to there Internet 150. Actual info from my console...... wait for it...

Unbelievable..... and it was a free upgrade from my old plan plus I got a 4K PVR with it....

What are your actual speeds meant to be as per your ISP?

I'm on fibre (100 Mbs Dl/20 Mbs UL) and while not super fast for fibre its more than enough for gaming. My X1S is hooked up via WiFi (5Ghz signal) with port forwarded and it averages 80-90Mbs DL but have seen it peak to 117 - 135 Mbs which I thought was
weird.
