Hi! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

Your router is providing the right speed on all your other devices right?

If so, by seeing all the troubleshooting you have already performed it semms that you might need to get your console serviced or replaced if needed.

I just posted something similar above. Its very frustrating. Im getting normal D/L speeds one my One X.

If your Xbox Series X is running hot and causing slower connection speeds only when gaming, there are a few things you can do to improve the situation:

1. Make sure your Xbox Series X is properly ventilated: Ensure that there is proper airflow around the console and that it is not placed in an enclosed space. If necessary, move it to a cooler area of the room.

2. Clean your Xbox Series X: Over time, dust and debris can accumulate inside the console, blocking the vents and causing it to overheat. Use compressed air or a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust or debris from the vents.

3. Check your internet connection: Slow connection speeds could also be caused by issues with your internet connection. Try connecting your Xbox Series X directly to your router using an ethernet cable to see if this improves your connection speed.

4. Limit background apps and downloads: Running too many apps or downloading large files while gaming can put additional strain on your Xbox Series X, causing it to run hotter and potentially slowing down your connection speeds. Close any unnecessary apps and avoid downloading large files while gaming.

5. Consider adding additional cooling: If your Xbox Series X is still running hot despite these steps, you may want to consider adding additional cooling, such as a cooling pad or fan. This can help to keep the console running at a cooler temperature and improve your connection speeds while gaming.

Hello Avenger54321, I hope everything is going well!

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support!

The download speeds may be slower for popular games during peak download time, usually when there is a new update, as the game developers reduce download speed off their servers to help with overall server stability. If the issue persists for a long period of time, please consider performing the following troubleshooting steps:

Turn off the console completely by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds, after the console is off please unplug the power cable, wait for approximately 60 seconds before plugging it back in, and then turn on the console.

Check if you are getting the same low download speed.

If the issue is still there, try the following steps : Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Alternate Mac Address > Clear it, and the console should restart itself.

It would definitely help if you could restart the internet router while the console is restarting.

In case that didn't fix the issue, we would like you to follow the steps below to perform a reset on the Xbox :

Settings > System > Console Info > Reset This Xbox > Reset and Keep my Games and Apps.

The "Reset and Keep my Games and Apps" option will not cause losing your games; however, please be aware that you need to be completely aware of the email address as well as the password of your account before going for it because it will require you to sign in to the account.

I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out!

Kind Regards

Stay safe, and happy gaming!
