Which model Xbox are you referring to. My Xbox 360 and Xbox One are not having any issues, I did not set up any ports, no DMZ, just forgot the WIFI networks and reconnected. Can get Xbox Live on both Xboxes. It probably has somethng to do with the static IP and DMZ. Try removing those settings, reboot the Orbi system, search for WIFI or connect cable, (which could also be the problem), on Xboxes and rejoin the WIFI network

It’s the XboxOne. The static IP and DMZ are my attempts to solve the problem based on some previous reads. The Xbox is direct connected to the router. Have experienced same issue wireless as well.

    Any switches in between the Xbox and satellite or router?

      Negative. Hard wired to satellite. This is the only device that kills the network. I assigned a static IP of .200 to ensure there are no conflicts with any other devices.

        Have you tried plugging into the router instead of the satellite, to see if it acts the same way? I just searched the net and everything points to the XboxOne. IP conflict, bad cable, factory reset, power cycle, check network settings, etc.
