  1. Xbox series x not recognizing Ethernet connection


    I finally purchased a series x last week. It’s amazing except for one flaw. I’m hoping it’s something that can be fixed so I don’t have to return it. When I turn on my series x when in energy saving mode it does not recognize the wired connection fully and I have to unplug and replug in the Ethernet cable a few times before it works. However when Xbox is in standby mode I have no issues. What could be causing this? I’d like to save on my energy bill and keep Xbox in energy saving mode if this can be fixed.

    :)

    Hello,

    I have tried 2 different Ethernet cables, even bought a new one to try just in case. I only have the one router but I just bought it a few months ago so it is newer as well.

    2. What? Are you asking if my modem/router showed any issues? It did not.

    Troubleshooting. I dont know what a gigabit switch is but I tried the other 2 things.

    Hi Stephanie Cooper1,

    We appreciate your patience.

    We have an update from the team, please see the suggestion that follows:

    1. They would like to know if you have tried different ethernet cables and routers?
    2. Did you had LED lights on upstream device for connection/speed/activity, does it show a connection during a replicating your issue?
    Suggested troubleshooting:

    • Try a different network cable
    • Try a different port on the upstream router/switch
    • Try putting a good switch, such as a Netgear gigabit switch, in between the Xbox and the upstream network device.
    Please let us know how it went.

    Regards,
