Xbox one best settings?
Bottom line up front: I am in search of the settings that provide the best online experience specifically for Advanced Warfare (single xbox setup). I.E. provide the lowest latency experience. No I...
- So with Black ops 3 coming out I wanted to make sure I was going to get the best experience that I could.
I did a lot of sole searching and research made the changes and did a proper reboot. So far my online experience is awesome and is like night and day compared to playing advanced warfare. I'm not sure if Black Ops 3 is the only reason or not but I will detail below what is currently working great for me.
On my modem (standard Xfinity modem/router with the 90/15 gb plan) I turned off the firewall completely and set to bridge mode. Then plugged my router into it. For the modem settings for me it was 10.0.0.1 and default username and password (admin and I can't remember PW but you can google it if you have Comcast.
On the nighthawk.
I updated the firmware.
Updated my time zone in the security menu.
Changed the DHCP reservation range to a max of .100
Setup Xbox with a reserved ip (static ip) of .150 (well outside the range of the reserved ips)
Setup port forwarding to the Xbox with
TCP: 80
UDP: 88, 500, 3544, 4500
Both: 53, 3074-3075, 3076, 1863, 16000
I left upnp on
Disabled SIP and set to open
Turned on upstream qos and used the built in speed test to set upload bandwidth.
Edited all default rules with a highest priority and changed to a high priority.
Changed the default Xbox priority from high to highest.
And set up a custom rule to my Xbox MAC address with highest priority.
On the Xbox:
I turned off Kinect and DVR
Left network ip settings to get automatically
But set dns manually (I use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)
On my TV:
Game mode on
All reductions and motion smoothing off.
If you have the option choose refresh rate as close to 60 hz as possible
Proper reboot after all settings changed:
Unplug router
Then unplug modem
Then fully turn off Xbox (hold power button until it turns off)
Wait 1 minute then turn on Xbox
After Xbox is on wait at least 5 minutes before plugging in modem.
Wait for modem to fully turn on
Then plug in router and wait for it to fully turn on
Once Xbox connects to XBL go to network settings and run multiplayer test. After test hold all triggers and bumpers until the next screen pops up.
Some of this may not matter but it's what I did and knock on wood I continue to have an amazing experience as I have had so far with black ops 3.
New Update important!
Although everything worked like a dream at first i kept running into more and more issues.
I checked the router log and saw many many unusual ports being opened to the xbox one (192.168.1.8) ports that are not used by xbox live.LAN access from remote] from 61.160.224.130:38426 to 192.168.1.8:32764, Friday, Dec 19,2014 09:34:47

This went on for quite some time, And I believe it may have been what was causing me problems.
there is another thread for the r7000 about unauthorized access, and it appears that this problem may extend beyond using DMZ.
I am not sure but until more is known, I do not suggest using the settings that I suggested for WAN settings, UPnP, etc.
