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.

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 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:

I read other posts that have the same issues using PS4's. I don't think it's a total microsoft problem
