Xbox One turning On by itself when another computer on network visits a certain website

I know this sounds crazy but here it is.

Our older Xbox One Forza Edition had been turning on automatically for over 6 months now. I've cleaned it several times and have performed all of the suggested fixes for this issue. This last week I realized what was causing the phantom power on. Every
time my Mac Book Pro visits the NBA.com website using Chrome, the Xbox turns on. I've had other family members witness this performance over six times now, just so I can show that I'm not going crazy. It has happened 3 times today alone, it's the oddest
thing. Anyone else having similar issues or know of a fix?

It actually happens also to mine! It is an original one from 2013. For over a year it sometimes turn on, but i have not noticed anything regarding computer on particular websites.

For the last 2-3 months it did not turn on a single time, but i can not say why

Huh... I wonder if it has something to do with that website initiating some kind of handshake on your network. You could try checking which ports are open on your router.

It also occurs when downloading large files from certain websites. For instance as soon as I choose a file and click download from Envato Elements, the X-box will turn on. Its so frequent that I've had to unplug the xbox when working.
