    XBox series X dropping internet connection


    Im a mother of a young boy who loves his xbox, I upgraded him to a series x but im having issues and I just domt know where to go from here! (Im still in my 30 day return period of this one so it can go back to the retailer)

    I am by no way technical but my sons series x keeps what i believe is dropping internet connection. (He says hes being kicked out of games and back to the home screen, and roblox says lost connection please reconnect and then goes back to the homescreen)

    my xbox is connected via 5 ghz connection, someone suggested switching it to 2.4 ghz

    So far i have checked my internet (BT) they say my speed is 66mbps but the suggest since ive had my router since 2019 it would be worth upgrading?.. unsure if they just want me to upgrade as im out of contract?

    Next... a long shot but it is worth using an ethernet cable to connect to my router instead of wifi?

    My question is... is there any benefit of trying the above? Has anyone tried it? And when are microsoft going to acknowledge this is an issue? We are on our 3rd series x because of this issue.

    everyones thoughts are much appreciated as im getting really frustrated by this

    :)

    Slow Download Speeds

    Did you manage to fix the connectivity issue? My Series X constantly drops connection to xbox live/internet despite an ethernet cable being used.

    Hotspot not working for series X/S

    Hi

    I have had similar problems with my sons series x dropping internet connection and the only way of curing this was connecting the console directly to the router with an Ethernet Cable. It now works with no issues. I hope this helps.

    And to add my sons Xbox one worked perfectly on our WiFi with no issues but the series x has issues, I’ve no idea why it has these issues but the cable sorted it.

    Xbox series X upgrade

    Hi,

    Online gaming on a console and a PC can have two types of latency:

    Lag is when we are referring to internet connection/server latency. Owning the latest Xbox Series X|S won't fix this, if that's where the problem is.

    Framerate and framerate drops are console hardware game specific. If the game is designed to run at 60fps, but there is a lot of things going on on screen this will result in dropped frames and can be seen during play as a stutter/judder, screen tearing and reduced controller responsiveness.

    The Series X (and even the Series S) have much more capable hardware and generally won't drop frames in heavy area's like the now quite old Xbox One S does.

    Xbox series X crash

    Do you mean crashes as in switches off? or back to the Home Screen? My son has had 3 series x so far! The first two randomly switching off and Microsoft said to return for refund and this latest one was dropping the internet connection by going back to the Home Screen. It seems as though my wireless internet connection wasn’t good enough even though the series x is in the same room as router. I tried using an Ethernet cable connecting the series x directly to the router and not had a problem since! I would recommend trying this. I know its not ideal in the day of WiFi but it’s worked for us and my son is happy.

    I hope this helps
