I could try that, though I guess there's no way to guarantee other Xbox's have better hardware. The support dude on the phone basically said he's pretty confident it's a hardware issue. No real reason to be getting <200 down right next to the router through wifi when you get 950+ hardwired. I'm going to end up just running an ethernet line down to the living room to hardwire it. Because that's the most convenient approach. It makes me want to disown the Xbox though.
That's why I am saying don't replace the hardware before you have tested against another xbox. You'll know if you don't have the problem that it is your specific machine.
I get you. There's not a snowball's chance in hell I'm replacing the hardware in the Xbox. It's not worth the $300 + shipping. If anything, I'll run the ethernet wiring in the house, and that might happen regardless.
Yeah, not seeing an option to change to 802.11ac on here. Maybe I’ll call support. Does IPv4 vs IPv6 make a difference? I can change: IP Settings DNS Settings (did this earlier) Alternate MAC Address (did this earlier) Alternate Port Selection QoS Tagging Settings
I have no doubt that your system is using IPv4. If your IP address looks like 172.20.0.20, that is IPv4. I also don't think your DNS settings, MAC address or port selection do anything.
Support won’t be able to change anything. Didn’t really expect that option to be configurable for you. Looks like you’re just stuck where you are. At the end of the day unless you just want the console to have full gig the wireless is currently fine. 180 vs 900Mbps won’t affect anything other than the time it takes to download the game. Playing the game will be the same either way.
So the issues with Apex in game are Apex server related, in your opinion? Not WiFi connection related?
Most likely. In game you’re typically using single digit bandwidth. A 4K video stream takes 15-20 Mbps. In game you’re just pushing data all the assets are local. I’d be more interested in ping.
That’s your Speedtest ping which is good. Anything sub 50 is excellent. For apex or whatever game you’re playing you’d want to know your ping to their servers.
I'm back in internet hell (again) after my move. I'm still using Verizon 5G, but it's a different type of router. My NAT type is bouncing between Open and Moderate. Can't really figure out a rhyme or reason for it, but I think it's negatively impacting my online games. I've tried a number of things. UPnP is on (I've turned it off and back on and reset the router). I've tried forwarding the port it lists in the advanced settings. I feel like I had this issue a while back, and I eventually got connected with someone who walked me through a very short process that fixed it easily. Hoping someone on here can help me in a similar way.
It's November 20th and it's going to be 75 degrees and sunny here today. This move was a solid one lol
If the weather and lifestyle is such a boon, I would not worry about the interwebz and indoor game console performance.
So I hosted a DMZ with my Xbox last night, and that fixed the NAT issue. I kind of see that as a last resort though and would prefer not to do it, as I've read it's not the safest thing in the world. I just forwarded all the ports I could find listed on google for Xbox Series X. Crossing my fingers that this works, but I'm not super confident. Any other feedback from the 8th IT guru's? @lumberjack4 - you around? lol
