Xbox Series X keeps dropping

Xbox Series X keeps dropping

Just bought this router and once I set everything up, I fired up the Xbox Series X and it does this thing where it'll connect via Ethernet cable for a second and then it'll disconnect.

I've tried changing cat cables, given a static ip, doing a network reboot ...

 

wireless works but I want the system to be hard wired in for a reason.

can't find any FAQ on this issue but I did find a YouTube video with someone with the same exact issue. you can view it here:

What modem/gateway is the RAX connected to?

Are you using any parent controls or access controls? 

Is ipv6 enabled?

tried reinstalling the firmware on it and doing a factory reset and reinstall? (don't use a backup)

Re: Xbox Series X keeps dropping

And sometimes where the firmware on it was several generations out of date and you go all the way to the latest, old (default) settings can cause issues. so its worth a shot.

I have the latest firmware. I jumped from a lifetime linksys user to this and have had nothing but issues.

I'm at the of my wits eith this thingvas it now doesn't see other computers hard wired in. The app completely SUCKS can't even do advanced troubleshooting through the app. .

NETGEAR fix your systems.
