    Network Lag on Xbox Series S


    I've been experiencing tons of lag on games such as Apex Legends, Fortnite, Halo: The Master Chief Collection (Halo 3) and many other games.

    I contacted my ISP and because my ISP isn't very helpful when it comes down to issues I had to figure out how to fix it on my own.

    I opened up all the ports on my Xbox for the games I play and the Xbox Network.

    I restarted my modem multiple times.

    I contacted my ISP to restart the modem.

    I tried resetting my Xbox Series S but keeping all my games and apps multiple times.

    I cleared the cache of my Xbox Series S.

    I unplugged my console, waited, and then plugged it back in multiple times.

    I cleared the Alternate Mac Address more than 100+ times and still - no fix.

    I noticed on my Firewall Logs on my Modem, at the times where I'm lagging in-game these firewall logs pop up.

    Are there any fixes for this?

    [table][tr][td]FW.IPv6 FORWARD drop , 438 Attempts, 2023/9/10 20:19:51[/td][td]Firewall Blocked[/td][td][/td][/tr][tr][td]FW.IPv6 INPUT drop , 36466 Attempts, 2023/9/10 20:19:51[/td][td]Firewall Blocked[/td][td][/td][/tr][/table]

    Additional Info; Xbox Series S - Manufactured August 1st 2021

    Using a Wired Connection. (Cat6 Ethernet)

    Ping: 60 - 500

    Firewall is on Default Setting my ISP set up.

    I have two Xbox Series S connected and they both have the same lagging issues, nothing else on the network has these issues.

    - Thank you for your time!

    :)

    Network Lag on Xbox Series S

    Hello Summ7t,

    Thank you for patiently waiting.

    We are going to ask few questions to help us isolate the issue further.

    1. Can you run the console speed test and provide us the following details:

    • Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
    • Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Network settings.
    • Select Test network speed & statistics.

    Write down the following information from your speed test results: Use the following websites:

    [table][tr][/tr][tr][tr][/table]
    • Download speed
    • Upload speed
    • Ping (or Latency)
    Compare your speed test results to the following recommended minimum requirements for the best connection experience (note that these are the minimum requirements; the higher your connection speed, the better your experience will be):

    For online gaming:

    • Minimum download speed of 3 Mbps (or 3,000 Kbps)
    • Minimum upload speed of 0.5 Mbps (or 500 Kbps)
    • Ping of less than 150 milliseconds
    For SD streaming:

    • Minimum download speed of 1 Mbps (or 1,000 Kbps)
    • Upload speed does not impact streaming
    • Ping of less than 150 milliseconds
    For HD streaming:

    • Minimum download speed of 3.5 Mbps (or 3,500 Kbps)
    • Upload speed does not impact streaming
    • Ping of less than 150 milliseconds
    If your connection speeds meet or exceed the recommended minimum standards for the action you are trying to perform, use one of the following for additional help: Troubleshoot a wired network connection | Xbox Support

    Eso Lag Issues fixed

    Hi Dominic, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    The Lag might have been a performance issue and not a network one.

    Since the Xbox Series X is stronger than the Series S, that's probably what made the difference.

    As network hardware goes, they use the same one.

    It's the only factor I can muster.
