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 ...
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?

Yes. What is the Mfr and model of this router?
You could configure it for AP mode, turn off the wifif radios, then ethernet connect it to the back of the RBR to the LAN port on the 2nd router. Plug in the xbox to the RBR first and watch the LED on the 2nd RBR in AP mode. You should see some random LED blinking. Once you turn on the xbox, check for more activity on the 2nd routers LED to see if the randsom blinking starts to become more constant all the time.
You can try connecting the xbox to the 2nd router in AP mode to one of it's LAN ports and test again here. Check the LED activity before and after you turn on the xbox.
I've also experienced this.. not sure what xbox is doing but it also appears that it's saturating the network. Possible that its might be hitting a pps or xlate limit in router mode? I'm planning to get some pcaps and see wth is going on. Coincidentally, the satellite its connected to slows down to 20 to 30mbs after some time... it could be the xbox thats triggering it. Never had this many problems with a wifi system that costs 700.
Is this in regards to Xbox XS? If so, please contact MS support regarding it.
