Sometimes my xbox parties will work without issue but randomly it will start connecting

My name is Fernando I'm an independent consultant, I'm happy to help.
Try to make other groups and invite your friends to test.

Hope I helped and see you soon
Sometimes it can be a problem connecting to someone in the group, not necessarily your connection.

Questions from your original post:



Since the D6200 wireless performance is dual band (2.4 Ghz, 5 Ghz), what band do you connect your console to?

2.4Ghz

If you have enabled WPS (Wi-Fi Procted Setup) on your wireless router, make sure you disable this feature and go with manually configured settings.

It's disabled and already manually configured.



If you connect your console to the 2.4 Ghz radio band, what channel and mode do you have configured?

Channel 11 (I've switched around to almost all different ones at random and none seem to help particularly better then any others).

If the D6200 is not running your ISPs custome firmware, visit Netgear.com and make sure your D6200s version of firmware is up-to-date.

Already updated firmware from them.

I'm not sure if you used a different naming convention for what I'm about to suggest, but make sure your console's power setting is set to Energy-saving.

It's actually not set to that, forgot to try that (though there may be something to that, I'll explain more down below).

It seems as your D6200 has IPv6 enabled. It may be that your ISP is tunneling IPv4 inside of IPv6. Make sure there're no IPv6 DHCP server operating on the D6200.

I have IPv6 disabled in my settings.

Now, for what I mentioned in my answer to the Energy Saving Mode question:

I mentioned before that unplugging my Xbox One's power cord and leaving it out until I next play it seems to make it work perfectly. I just switched it to energy saving mode just now (it was previously on Instant On mode.)

Knowing this I'm guessing Instant On mode keeps some sort of cache of system info for the wifi settings to have it boot faster? I assume it was keeping the wrong info somehow which wasn't letting it connect properly.

Would you happen to know exactly what info Instant On holds onto that may be the thing *** it up?

The troublesome with the higher RF signals (e.g 5 GHz/shorter wavelength) in comparison to the lower range RF signals (e.g 2.4 GHz/longer wavelength) is that the signal will attenuate much faster as the signal penetrate through different physical obstacles,
for example concret- or brick wall/floor/ceiling. The main cause to this has to do with distance, as the transmitting- and the receiving end antennas are less effective at receiving RF energy with higher frequency. This will cause shorter range and a smaller
coverage area for the 5 GHz range in comparison to 2.4 GHz range.

Your wireless clients shouldn't cause any conflicts part from being a member in the neighboring, and often crowded air, and where everyone wants to be THE device that talks the most (luckily there're rules that prevent this from happening) . It's those devices,
or antennas, that transmits with enough power and operates at the same RF (channel) as your wireless router (which in this particular case is an accesspoint/wireless accesspoint) that will interfere with your wireless clients (PC/Smartphone/Xbox etc.). Such
a signal can be generated from a cordless phone/microwave oven/wireless headset (digital RF transmitter).

It's not that easy to compare one wireless client to another due to different wireless NICs/drivers, but do you have the option to move your console any closer to your D6200, to see if it can pick up on the 5 GHz SSID.

Can you also take a closer look at my initial post, as there're a couple of question you never gave an answer to.

In my opinion, I wouldn't try with an additional router, as this would only require more configuration from your end. Two NATs don't play nice to applications that needs to traverse through these devices.

Have you had the chance to connect your console with wired yet?

Keep us posted.

I'm not sure which sleep mode triggers Instant-On, but a wild guess would be hybrid sleep mode. And you've probably guessed it already, but Instant On is actually an application (what else).

[quote user="Awsomonium"]Knowing this I'm guessing Instant On mode keeps some sort of cache of system info for the wifi settings to have it boot faster?[/quote]Not only are those values cached to resume quicker from its current state, but also to maintain
connectivity during this mode.

[quote user="Awsomonium"]I assume it was keeping the wrong info somehow which wasn't letting it connect properly.[/quote]"it", as your Xbox One, or your wireless router? One thing is for sure, something went corrupted during this mode.

If you've already have the latest version of firmware for your router, try downgrade your router's version of firmware to an older one. The most recent version of firmware may sometimes cause more issues than it's supposed to.

Keep us posted.
