Xbox Series X slows my entire network down AX6000
I just bought a series X and whenever it is on my entire house's devices slow to a crawl. I had a Xbox One X and did not have this issue. I have 1Gig internet, Orbi RBR850 (AX6000) and have the xbox ...
Thanks for the quick response!
Modem is: Arris Surfboard SB8200.
It's almost as soon as I turn the Xbox on within 10 minutes the internet just drags to a holt. Speedtests go to the single digits. As soon as I turn it off, I can be in the middle of the speedtest and see the internet just skyrock into the 600's.
We see the kids Zoom calls slow to a crawl as well. There is nothing plugged into the router other than the Xbox right now. I have auto updates off as well as any sharing features off.
So Just turning on the xbox and letting it coem to ready causes this right?
Wondering if there is a ARP storm happening.
Do you have any other wired devices that have a LED on the RJ45 jack that gives activity inidication LED?
So after turning ON the xbox, don't do anything for 10 minutes with the xbox, just let the xbox sit there, you notice everything slows down?
It quickly increases as soon as I start any game at all. Could you help clarify what you mean by "any other wired devices that have a LED on the RJ45 jack that gives activity inidication LED?"
So right now I have it on and it's ok. Not playing any games. put on a game and it'll start to slow everything down. COD, NBA 2K etc. Tried all single player games, nothing multiplayer and still slowed it down. Had an xbox one x before and no issues. This is the only new device thrown into the network.
Yes, I'm hoping that maybe one of yoru wired devices with a RJ45 LAN port connection has activity LED as seen here:

What i'm looking for is the Yellow LED on this jack would have indication of activity on your network with the xbox and the RBR router.
Normal LED and networking activity will show as some random LED being blinking occasionally to somewhat blinking often. If an ARP storm is happening with the xbox plugged in, the Yellow LED will be blinking all the time and fairly fast and continually.
I was hoping that a PC or some wired device you may have would have this LED in back that we could use to see of this network activity is happening when the xbox comes online. If it is, then your xbox needs to be checked out by MS.I would also contact MS support anyways and let them know whats happening. If your old xbox didn't do this, and now the new one does, this would be a MS issue they need to review.
Makes perfect sense. I have an old router that has those lights. Would that work?
