C6250 Router & Xbox One Download Speeds
Hello Guys, I currently have the xfinity 100MBPS Download/ 10 MBPS Upload Plan. I reach those speeds on my laptop & phone. But my xbox download speed range from 900kbps to 20MBPS max. I have yet to see 100MBPS download speed on my xbox. This flucuation is frustration. I used to rent a verizon fios modem router through their plan (same plan i have now with xfinity) & it had download speeds faster than what im currently having on my xbox. Im not sure why this is happening when the current modem router ( Model C6250 ) should be way faster or atleast provide better results. Has anyone had this issue before?

1.Are those speeds wireless/wired?
2. the xbox speedtest isn't reliable at speed testing. the most reliable is a hardwired computer and using a speedtest site that you can change servers. reason why is many times a server isn't fully saturating speeds and needs to be changed. Xbox speedtest doesn't have that option.
Is it effecting gameplay or you're just wanting to get speeds up?
- AbrionesAspirant1. My Xbox is currently wireless
2. Thank you for that information. I will try doing that. It’s just affecting my download speeds. Like when I try downloading games online.

Try connecting your xbox wired when downloading or updating games. Speeds can flucuate when downloading on either wired or wireless connections from MS services.
