    timetrex, this is interesting. The xb1 controllers operate at 5ghz. Setting your channel bandwidth to 40hz is funny because while it would theoretically give you more throughput, it often causes channel overlap (giving you less reliability).

  2. We are having similar issues with our controllers. Once the batteries die or get low and we remove them to replace them with fresh batteries, the console will no longer register the controller, but it's clearly connected still. Before, the only way to reconnect
    it was by hard resetting the console itself, but this more recent time, not even that worked. The only way to get it to connect was via USB cable and leaving it plugged it. We even tried resyncing the controller to the console, but it didn't work.

    We've also been experiencing issues with the disc drive itself. It had trouble reading certain games, and you have to constantly remove and replace the game until it decides to read it, but then other games it'll read without trouble. Please help with any
    solutions or suggestions.

    xbox one controller disconnects when idle or changing battery pack

    My disconnections have stopped.

    I have the asus n66u router (dark Knight)

    I have turned the 2.4ghz band off

    The xbox one sits in a small closet, connects on the 5ghz band

    Probably 7 feet away from the router.

    The settings on the router, I have channel bandwith set to 40mhz and the check box ticked to optimized for the xbox.

    auto extension is also set to auto.

    Hope this helps, I have had the issue from day 1, still using the same controller, day 1 edition only with no issues now.
