Lately my router has been constantly changing the DHCP lease per the router logs and it appears to cause me to drop connectivity in game. Literally can't play Fifa online right now because of constant disconnects that match up time wise with the DHCP lease change per the logs. Also causing stuttering on Call of Duty. Is anyone else having this issue recently?

This is something we're aware of and will be fixing. Assign your device(s) with a static/reserved IP in LAN Settings. Does that prevent the disconnects from happening?

My xbox is connected directly to the router and had a static/reserved IP, actually just deleted the connection to see if it would improve things. It did not.

Are any other devices dropping the connection or is it just the device you're playing FIFA on? Wired & wireless devices?

They're pausing slightly just like the lag in COD, but Fifa kicks me out of the match. Usually lasts about 10-20 seconds.

Are you using the Geo-Filter for FIFA? If so disable it and see if that makes a difference. Also are the devices affected on WiFi?
