New second series X struggling internet issues

Vidarr · Jan 4, 2024

Hello,

I don’t ever post on these forums but I have tried contacting both my ISP and Microsoft and have gotten no solution. I have been troubleshooting this for 2 days and still can’t figure it out so hopefully someone here has found a solution .

The issue is the download speed on Xbox #2 (new Xbox) and the effects on the network while downloading.

Basically once the new Xbox is set up games will only download at ~25-35mbps and while downloading everything else on the network drops down to unusable speeds where Xbox #1 can’t even play online.

Both Xbox series Xs are hardwired to bell homehub 3000 modem with fibe internet download ~500mbps and upload ~100mbps. The modem is brand new replaced a month ago and there is no other users on the network causing usage traffic. The new series x was exchanged at game stop for a new one to fix the issue but still the same problem continues.

For trouble shooting I’ve tried different cables, different ports, tried a wireless connection on 5G and also set up port forwarding on all the recommended ports for Xbox.

nothing seems to solve this yet every other device seems to work perfectly on the network until Xbox #2 downloads are started.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

:)

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

I am sorry to hear that.

Have you tried to set a static IP for the XBOX #2 and add that IP to your router DMZ?

I've sent my Series X to Microsoft and with the new one I've never had a problem, no crashes. I suggest everyone who is struggling with this issue to call Microsoft.

series s will struggle on demanding games to keep 60fps at 1080p. the series x will struggle to keep 60fps at 4k thats for sure. the series x will be ok at 120fps at 1080 and most likely 1440.

nope, series s or x only, even pc's way more powerful than the series x still struggle, it would be like stop motion on the original xbox one and s models.

First you need hdmi2.1

Second series s isn't a 4k console and wouldn't recommend it because of the design

Because Irs not a 4k console it doesn't need UHD files making games smaller for the reduce space and power of the series s as thats how smart delivery is designed

Most games will only do 960p

It will struggle with anything above 1080p

It can do 4k movie streaming but not gaming

If you wanted 4k gaming you should've bought series x or xbox one x
