Multiple XBOne Consoles, no longer connecting

Firmware:  V2.1.4.10

Since upgrading my router and satellite two nights ago, I'm now no longer able to have both my XBox Ones connected to the Internet at the same time when wired.  XB1 is wired to the satellite, XB2 is wired to the router.  I have uPNP turned on, Daisy Chain turned off, and both boxes have static IPs.

What is frustrating is they worked FINE before the firmware update, and have for months (other than occasional dropouts, but not this). 

What is really interesting is if I take either box and unplug them (i.e. have it connect via WiFi), they both work.  Its only when both are wired that its a problem.

This is getting pretty frustrating.  Hoping for some help!

  • Have you set up IP address reservations for the consoles on the router?

    You may have conflicting IP addresses. Be sure to reboot the router, right after you do this, connect the ethernet cables to the consoles and hold the POWER button on the consoles until the consoles turn OFF. After the router reboots, turn on the 1st console an check networking settings. Log into the routers web page and set up and IP addresss reservation ON the router. Save settings. Turn on the next console and set up an IP address reservation for the console ON the router. Save settings then Apply. The router will reboot again. 

     

    FYI:

      Yes, both have static IPs.  

      I also have NAT Filtering under Advanced->WAN set to Open, also didn't help.  What's throwing me off is if I put them on WIFI (or just one of them on WIFI) it works.  Its when I have both wired that it fails.

  • Remove the static IP address setting from the consoles and set them to Auto. Use IP address reservations ON the router. 

    I use 192.168.#.198 and .199 for my two consoles. 

     

    IP address pool set on the router is 192.168.#.100 to .200.

      Sorry, I should have clarified.  I have the IP address reservations on the router, not on the consoles.

        Hold down the power button on each console until they turn off. This should clear out any networking caches. Then reboot the router. Power on 1 of the consoles and check connection. Do they get the reserved IP address in Network Settings on the console? 

         

        You might need to remove the reservations. Seems like something is getting hung up in DHCP...
