Problems with Xbox Live when connected to WiFi Repeater

BobCirca · Feb 7, 2015

Hello, I just recently purchased a WiFi Repeater and am having some problems with it. The repeater is a NetGear N300 WiFi Range Extender Model EX2700 and can be found at this link: N300 - WiFi Range Extender - Essentials Edition

The connection to the repeater is actually great, but I'm having problems with things like Party Chat. When connected to the repeater on Xbox One, I am unable to be in parties. For example, if a friend invites me, as soon as I join it says my friend left
and I am left in the party by myself. On the contrary, if I invite my friend and they join, it says they left right after they join and I am left by myself again. For what it's worth, I have an Open NAT when connected to the repeater. Also, when I am trying
to play Madden when connected to the repeater, I am unable to connect to the EA Servers. I know it is the repeater causing these problems because when I connect back to my regular WiFi, everything works fine.

In conclusion, I am not too sure what is causing these problems with the repeater and the connection to my Xbox One, which is why I came here seeking help

problems connecting to xbox live for the past several days

I've added a wifi booster in the problem room. Even with 100% wifi signal, the download speed was terrible (0.01 mbps). I've connected the xbox one to the wifi repeater via an ethernet cable and the problems seem to have cleared (download speed of 13.9
mbps). Has the wifi card in the xbox started to go bad?

Connected to free hotel wifi, but Xbox Live won't connect.

Hi. So, my Xbox One won't connect to Live. I'm staying at a hotel for the weekend, and it has free wifi. My phone is connected to it now, and I'm having no problems. But with my Xbox... yeah. It says I'm connected to the network, when I try testing
the connection. No problems. But when I try multiplayer connection, it's not working. The NAT Type is Open, but the Service Info is unavailable.

Check your SIP ALG settings in your router and the repeater if it has it I've found that that particular setting, when enabled, will screw up your ability to chat and/or even connect

IgotTsondabrain, how would I go about doing that?

Hello, forgot to clarify the main problem, problem in Wifi repeater, don't matter where it is, ping always very high, i tried put it near Wifi, in my room even in toilet internet speed leaves much to be desired.My old laptop uses all potential of repeater and internet speed is good. When im using clear Wifi in my room it's bad too but when i'm near it everything ok. I can't try wired connection cause i don't have possibility to enter the room where it's located.

That's a shame :c
Well... I'm thinking in a workaround for this problem.

This is: (and if you're willing to do it in order to use remote play)
Get a WiFi repeater, one that can create a separate wifi network (or one that has two ethernet ports <one for your router and one for the console) and connect your console to that repeater via cable or wifi.

**But this can have a flaw, exist the possibility that the problem persists. I mean, even if the wifi repeater is creating a new wifi network, it's still using your internet service provider network

-----
If the issue persists even trying the workaround, definitely is a problem with the ISP :c
