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 wired in. It doesn't matter if I have it on wireless or not. This immediately started as soon as I added the series x to my network. Any suggestions would be helpful. I've tried restarting router, xbox, modem etc numerous times and nothing has helped. I haven't seen anyone else have this issue. Thanks in advance.
Re: Xbox Series X slows my entire network down AX6000
What Firmware version is currently loaded? What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What are you doing with the xbox during this time frame? Gaming or streaming or do you see everything come to a halt or slow down right after you power ON the xbox?
Do you have any wired devices that have a LED on the RJ45 jack that gives activity inidication LED?
Re: Xbox Series X slows my entire network down AX6000
Thanks for the quick response!
Modem is: Arris Surfboard SB8200.
It's almost as soon as I turn the Xbox on within 10 minutes the internet just drags to a holt. Speedtests go to the single digits. As soon as I turn it off, I can be in the middle of the speedtest and see the internet just skyrock into the 600's.
We see the kids Zoom calls slow to a crawl as well. There is nothing plugged into the router other than the Xbox right now. I have auto updates off as well as any sharing features off.
Re: Xbox Series X slows my entire network down AX6000
It quickly increases as soon as I start any game at all. Could you help clarify what you mean by "any other wired devices that have a LED on the RJ45 jack that gives activity inidication LED?"
Re: Xbox Series X slows my entire network down AX6000
So right now I have it on and it's ok. Not playing any games. put on a game and it'll start to slow everything down. COD, NBA 2K etc. Tried all single player games, nothing multiplayer and still slowed it down. Had an xbox one x before and no issues. This is the only new device thrown into the network.
What i'm looking for is the Yellow LED on this jack would have indication of activity on your network with the xbox and the RBR router.
Normal LED and networking activity will show as some random LED being blinking occasionally to somewhat blinking often. If an ARP storm is happening with the xbox plugged in, the Yellow LED will be blinking all the time and fairly fast and continually.
I was hoping that a PC or some wired device you may have would have this LED in back that we could use to see of this network activity is happening when the xbox comes online. If it is, then your xbox needs to be checked out by MS.
I would also contact MS support anyways and let them know whats happening. If your old xbox didn't do this, and now the new one does, this would be a MS issue they need to review.

Re: Xbox Series X slows my entire network down AX6000
Yes. What is the Mfr and model of this router?
You could configure it for AP mode, turn off the wifif radios, then ethernet connect it to the back of the RBR to the LAN port on the 2nd router. Plug in the xbox to the RBR first and watch the LED on the 2nd RBR in AP mode. You should see some random LED blinking. Once you turn on the xbox, check for more activity on the 2nd routers LED to see if the randsom blinking starts to become more constant all the time.
You can try connecting the xbox to the 2nd router in AP mode to one of it's LAN ports and test again here. Check the LED activity before and after you turn on the xbox.

I've also experienced this.. not sure what xbox is doing but it also appears that it's saturating the network. Possible that its might be hitting a pps or xlate limit in router mode? I'm planning to get some pcaps and see wth is going on. Coincidentally, the satellite its connected to slows down to 20 to 30mbs after some time... it could be the xbox thats triggering it. Never had this many problems with a wifi system that costs 700.

Re: Xbox Series X slows my entire network down AX6000
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.
Re: Xbox Series X slows my entire network down AX6000
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.
