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. 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.

Do you have a different router to try and see if this problem happens?

I'm going to hardwire this into my satellite instead of wifi.. This happened when I got the Xbox Series X. My previous Xbox One X was always wireless and sat in the same spot as the Series X and didn't have these issues. Will see if this solves the problem. Plan B would be to hook up my old Asus router and use Orbi in AP mode. It's kinda silly to do this considering I got Orbi to be all in one.
Let us know if this happens on the ASUS router with the XS wired or wireless to the router.
This maybe a MS issue vs Orbi...
Hardwiring the Xbox Series X made issues go away. With the Xbox on Wifi, there were massive drops and latency that it would kick me off Xbox Live. Reading in the MSFT forums, there is an issue with the new Xbox and wifi and many people are affected. Whatever it was doing, it was hammering resources or something making the network slow down especially if you have the Xbox set for instant on (I believe this leaves networking turned on).
I haven't experienced the RBS slowdown to 20-30mbs after turning off Xbox (2-3 days ago). I did a clean reboot after turning off the Xbox to if it will degrade but so far so good. I'm planning to go online today and see if the wired connection from Xbox will degrade the RBS over time.
Interesting. You happen to have a link to the MS forums regarding there info?
Keep us posted.
