How is the xbox connected? Wired or wireless?
How is the PC connected?
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

My XR 500 router was doing fine since October when I bought it. The last few weeks I've been getting disconnect issues on a "daily" basis when I wasn't on my xbox or PC. I notice this when I'm inactive for atleast 8 hours or so. After reading posts here I've switched from instant on to energy saver on my Xbox1x. This has solved the issue. It's been 4 days now with no disconnect. The firmware update I'm using is 2.3 2.40. The router says I'm up to date. Is there a fix for this issue so I can use instant on as I did in the past. Thanks....
I have 2 PC's and my xbox1x all hardwired. As far as neighbors with wifi. I have one neighbor that has it. I live in a rural area. My issue is a xbox instant on capability issue with this router like the previous poster mentioned. I'm fine with that. Since I went to energy saver mode I also notice my controller connects up all the time where as before sometimes it didn't.
So does the xbox seem to be working better now?
so far yeah. I haven't had any disconnects from my controller to the console. It take a xtra minute to log into my game with power save mode on. I can live with that.
Ok good to hear.
The main issue is with MS and this Instant ON feature on xbox. Appeared soon after the xbox one came to market. We thought they had fixed this however seems to have appeared again. This is a MS issue. MS isn't known well for fixing this fast or if at all. :smileyfrustrated:
