I just got the new Xbox series X, and my console was having trouble downloading content. I am using a wired connection that’s connecting to 1st wired port on the router. When I went to the VLAN/Bridge settings under advanced settings of the DUMAOS settings, I enabled the VLAN/Bridge group and under bridge group, I selected the first wired port, and applied the settings, and somehow my Content started downloading. Is there a reason why this worked. It is safe?

Do you know if you actually require VLAN? I would be very surprised if you didn't and that cause it to work. What is your exact physical setup?

Thanks for replying! I honestly have no idea if I require it. Honestly don’t even know what that means, lol, I’m not very good with this router stuff. By my physical setup do you mean how my router is setup?

Okay so you probably don't need it then, no idea how that worked. Yes how is the XR connected to the internet e.g. through an ONT, ISP modem/router etc and how your devices are connected.

My router is connected to a little ISP modem. My Xbox is connected through a wired connection. All my other devices are connected by WiFi.

What XR500 firmware are you using? Have you disabled VLAN since and seen whether the downloads work properly?
