I'm wondering if any one could help. Just as of late my download speed on xbox has been slow to say the least, started on my one x and now still doing it on my series X. Im getting between 500 kbs - 5 mbps which fluctuates.
So far this has been done.
Restarted my xbox/router
rang my ISP and they said it should be running at 200 mbps and nothing going wrong at their end
updated the firmware on my router just incase
contacted MS support - changed MAC address, changed DNS address
NAT type has always been open
Definitely no games running in the background
Tried my hand at port forwarding on my router, not sure how that went but no affect.
I'm out of ideas of what the problem actually is, my speed test comes up at 200 on both xbox and on my pc.
I've tried with Cold War, Borderlands 3 and one from game pass but all going as slow.
Only got my series X yesterday and all I want to see is the updated graphics and what not.
@Kefka2589 Yeh I found that aswell googling it, but I'm not with BT, I found a similar setting on my router but it wasn't turned on. I've even tried switching routers to see if that was the issue
My original Xbox One had this issue after 5 years of service, turned out the power supply was killed by a recent power outage and stopped working outright after a few weeks of painfully slow Wi-Fi. Hopefully this is a different issue that doesn't require a warranty RMA since Series X power supply is inside the console unlike the original Xbox One.
Yeah I'm having the same issue. It worked the first night using wireless now I can't even sign into xbox live. I'm going to try a powerline adapter but it's not really usable now. Anyone have another other tips about how to fix this?
@armo29 When you tried port forwarding, which ports did you use? Ever since the Xbox 360, the following ports are the ones that you need to have opened/forwarded in order for the Xbox Live service to work most efficiently:
(in your case, you may have to forward them both in your modem and your router, depending on whether or not the router offers that option as well)
@nrg630 Well, from what I've read so far, the wifi issues with series S|X are actually a known issue, so it could be something they're still working on, I don't know. As you might have already suspected, I always use wired connections for all my consoles, so I'd never run into this problem myself.

Late reply and also not really related but thought I would just add (if you didn't know and for others who come to this thread with slow speeds) that Xbox throttles your download speeds if you have a game running. For example on my connection I get 500Mbps with no game running but this drops to 50Mbps as soon as I have a game running. Not sure why Xbox feels the need to throttle my connection by 450Mbps. Even if they throttled me by 50Mbps (more than most peoples max download speed) it would be enough to communicate with servers for games etc.
