Problems downloading with ethernet

Fallen Skorm · Jun 30, 2022

I have something weird going on. When I am trying to download a game on my Xbox Series X, I noticed that my download speeds reach between 180mbps and 200 with my ethernet connection even though my internet speeds are 400 mbps. I am fully aware that there might be multiple issues going on but what is bothering me is how my downloads completely stop on my xbox. It goes from 190 mbps and the download speeds seem to decrease until it shows nothing on the bar. When it does that the download says it will be completed in 3 hours but that goes away when it randomly starts to download again. I did some trouble shooting and I used my wifi to download my games and the above problem doesn't seem to happen. It only happens with my ethernet connections. I switched ethernet cables to a fatter one and it still seems to drop speeds to nothing to where it doesnt download anything. Does anyone know what is going on ? It really does affect my download times. It seems like my xbox stops downloading and then it downloads again. It keeps repeating that process. I have spectrum

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today Fallen, about troubleshooting steps you made.

Did you try power cycling your console and your router to see how it goes?

Another option could be in case you didn't try it

Perform an offline update for your console. In that way Xbox system will be installed from scratch.

For this you need a USB and PC to format it and transfer files provided in the link below (with steps):

ouch that sucks man , its a shame the xbox network ports dont have the green and orange lights showing if its transmitting and receiving data , that is a great way of seeing if it is working or not
