Xbox series X hardware or software deficiency

YoRHa Man · Aug 3, 2022

Hi I currently have 2 Xbox Series S’s and 1 Xbox Series X.

My 2 Xbox Series S’s work amazing with a wired connection for online gaming. However whenever I use my Xbox Series X, theirs always a packet loss of 7% - 22% making online gaming impossible. Is anyone else having this issue? I use a ISP gigabit wired connection. Any tips or suggestions or is this a hardware software error?

:)

Hello, YoRHa. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

On your Xbox Series X, please go to Settings > Network settings > Advanced settings > DNS settings > Select manual. It will ask you to manually fill your primary and secundary DNS IP. Try with these two combinations to see which one performs better:

Primary: 1.1.1.1 / Secundary: 1.0.0.1

Primary: 8.8.8.8 / Secundary: 8.8.4.4

After that, on the same screen, go to Alternate MAC address > Clear > Restart. This will restart your console.

After the restart, go to Network settings again > Advanced settings > Alternate port selection. Try with each one of the ports and see which one gives you a better speed and without that much packet loss. To test your connection (after changing ports and/or DNS), just click on "Test network speed" on your Network settings page.

Please let me know how it goes and feel free to ask back any questions.

Other than that, maybe next generation they should consider some kind of harware bc approach instead of the current software emulation...

Hi.

This is already happening. The Series X|S is the same hardware architecture as the Xbox One. Which is why all Xbox One games work on the latest Series hardware. No software emulation.

I also don't understand how it would be a hardware issue if the hardware is the physical pieces of the series x and I feel like wifi has to do deal with software.

completely incorrect, they have suspended BC while they concentrate on the series x, all the 360 and og games are run in an emulator wrap, it is all software not hardware, the series x will be no different, it will also use and emulator to run the games,
dont forget the series x is just a pc with an apu.

For this generation, they've discontinued the BC program support. New entries will come both from xbox 360 and Original Xbox (with hardware BC and not software BC anymore) with the Xbox Series X gen.
