R6260 (AC1600) and Xbox(s)
My internet downloads at a consistent 25 mb/s on every device in my home except the two xbox one's we have. My Series X is wired to the router and my sons is wireless to the router. As I said every d...
What modem/gateway do you have?
What firmware is on the router?
How are you testing with the xboxes?
What speeds do you get hardwired to the router via a pc/laptop?
1. R6260 (AC1600)
2. The Latest
3. When I test through the xbox's built in connection test, I get 3 to 5. When I open a browser on the xbox and test on speedtest.net, I get 25.
4. All other devices test at 25

2. The Latest----which changes, isn't always the latest, or doesn't help those in the future who might be having this issue.
3. When I test through the xbox's built in connection test, I get 3 to 5. When I open a browser on the xbox and test on speedtest.net, I get 25.----if the xbox gets full speed throught the browser, it seems to indicate an issue with the built in speedtest, not the router/modem.
4. All other devices test at 25---even more indication that its an xbox issue.

Thats what Im thinkning also, but Microsoft offers zero help. Only thing I can add is on point #3, I have seen the difference in real world downloads also, not just tests. For example, downloading a game on PC from Steam I get 18 to 24. Downloading a goma on xbox (not the test) I get anywhere from kb's/s to 3 or 4. The Xbox dl's havnt always been this way. They will be fine, right on par with other devices, for a few months then go down to this low rate for EVERY download. I just dont get it.
Just an FYI, I have an Xbox and my circuit is 300Mbps down and I rarely ever get close to that. Many times it is actually below 100Mbps and then there are times that it is below 10Mbps. Downloading on the Xbox fluctuates wildly. It has done that on multiple routers and consoles.
