Xbox live disconnecting and reconnecting (3rd time)

Ok! So what did I suggest that made it work?

Just trying to get a firm grip around the situation here.

 

Last night I when I was with support, they helped me to port forward my console through the Virtual Server. Then I saw your post this morning and decided to try your first step, which was reserving an IP in the DHCP. After that, I hard reset my console,
and now it's working perfectly! :]

 

Great stuff!

And please keep us posted if anything changes (for worse).

Have a great weekend and play safe out there!

 

I will keep everyone posted if something does change, but hopefully not. :]

Thank you for helping, and have a great weekend as well, Taidara!

 

ok seems the Reserve a unique IP address option alone worked for me my connection is stable

 

i too have this same router/modem model that's listed

 

Yes, reserving IPs for devices such as printers and gaming systems does seem to make a big difference in the way they perform.

 

hum, I apologize for this, but what means "reserving an IP in the DHCP"? thank you!

 

Not many devices needs to be configured with fixed, or static IP settings. Most people tend to not use a static IP address outside of the DHCP pool of dynamically learned addresses. In this case, the static IP and the scope of addresses in the DHCP pool
may cause an IP conflict if the DHCP server leases an already in use address towards an endpoints request. Sure, there're steps in place to prevent this from happening. Some routers sends out a ping to determine if an IP is already in use before they send
out an offer, but for the vast majority of times the devices themself use an ARP probe to dectect a conflict for a specific IP address. Which not always serves it means.

DHCP reservation is made to make things a little simpler and to avoid conflicts.

 

@HoveringPath94 - The DCHP server is actually a protocol that make things a bit easier for a device on your network to dynamically learn an IP address along with the corresponding subnet mask, the IP address of your gateway (router), and the IP address of
a DNS server. The DHCP server leases out IP addresses from its pool of addresses. These addresses can be dynamically learned by your Xbox, Smartphone, PC, Mac, or any device that request an IP address from the DHCP server.

DHCP reservation will reserve an address from the DHCP's pool of addresses, so that the server will ignore this specific address to be leased if another device comes along and try to make a claim to this address.

If your router support DHCP reservation, there's a list of connected devices that the DHCP knows about. These are listed as names for each device (XML/UPnP) with its corrensponding MAC address.

You can type in any IP address as your reserved address, but it has to be unique, meaning, this address can't be in use by another device on your local network. And it has to be an address within the DHCP servers pool of addresses.

When you're done, the DHCP server will assign your console with the configured address and reserve this for as long as until you manually remove this configuration.

 

@ taidara: ok, so I did all that, and now it seems to be back to "normal" plug and play experience (at least for yesterday). thank you for the help and much needed explanations.

 

whelp seems like i spoke too soon issue just started back up today seems the whole ip reservation thing doesn't last.

 

went ahead and upgraded my router/modem from the standard Arris DG1670A (junk) that brighthouse gives out to a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 model C7000 getting Overall better performance and the problem is gone. Get rid of that Arris DG1670A save yourself the
equipment rental fee in the process as well.

 

Glad to hear it. People hate me when I tell them they need new equipment. ...

 

@ stormrider99: where did you buy the netgear?
