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 ...
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.
