Xbox affecting network speed and performance
Xbox affecting network speed and performance
Hello, I currently own both a Series X and S consoles and am experiencing some unusual problems. When these devices power on, my router operates at significantly reduced speeds. With a 1 gigabit connection, I normally see download speeds around 950 Mbps, but when I connect an Xbox or test the router, speeds drop to about 80 Mbps. This issue persists even after unplugging the Xbox or resetting the router. The slower performance affects all connected devices, not just the Xbox. I've checked this with three different routers and tested it on my PS5 and PC, narrowing the cause to the Xbox itself. Any assistance would be very helpful.
Please share details about your router model and its age. Also, let me know if your device connections use Wi-Fi or include any hardwired links.
