Let us discuss it in more detail.
1) Launch the Xbox Speed Test
Press the Xbox button on the controller, and go to System> Settings> General> Network Settings.
Finally, select Test the speed and statistics of the network.
Compare the results of your speed test to the following speeds, which we recommend as the minimum configuration for an optimal connection experience:
| Online Thu |
SD video streaming | HD video streaming | |
| Download speed | 3 Mbps or 3,000 Kbps | 1 Mbps or 1000 Kbps | 3.5 Mbps or 3,500 KBbps |
| Download speed | 0.5 Mbps or 500 Kbps | N / A | N / A |
| ping | Less than 150 milliseconds | Less than 150 milliseconds | Less than 150 milliseconds |
2) Check your bandwidth and connection speed
Visit speedtest.net or any other site to check the speed of your connection.
Compare the results of your speed test to the following speeds, which we recommend as the minimum configuration for an optimal connection experience:
| Online game | SD video streaming | HD video streaming | |
| Download speed | 3 MB / s or 3,000 KB / s |
1 MB / s or 1,000 KB / s |
3.5 MB / s or 3,500 KB / s |
| Download speed | 0.5 MB / s or 500 KB / s |
N / A | N / A |
| ping | Less than 150 milliseconds |
Less than 150 milliseconds |
Less than 150 milliseconds |
3) Check the Xbox servers
The first thing to do is to check if all the Microsoft servers linked to Xbox are operational by visiting, support.xbox.com. If the servers are down, it will probably have to wait until they are active again.
4) reset your router
Most Internet-related issues have a lot to do with the router. Sometimes the ISP has made some changes to the network, and for the router to be more in tune with updates, a simple reset is required. To do this, simply unplug the router from the power outlet, and then plug it in again after 15 seconds.
Also, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and the Xbox One X, if you are using one, before disconnecting the router from the power source.
5) Do you use Wi-Fi?
If this is the case, make sure the bandwidth is set correctly. If your Xbox One X is further away from the router, you will need to change the bandwidth to 2.5 GHz, but closer, change it to 5 GHz. You see, 5 GHz is faster, but speed is more efficient at short range, while 2.5 GHz is slower but more efficient at longer range.
6) Disable other Internet using apps
Check if you are using a tool on your computer that consumes a lot of bandwidth. It is likely that you are using Xbox One X on the same network. Therefore, any tool running in the background on your computer using the Internet will affect the download speed of the console.
In addition, close the games in the background of the Xbox One X.
We hope something helps you.
