We have an XBOX One S. We got DS a subscription to XBOX Live for Christmas. He's having intermittent issues with playing online (FIFA 17 and Star Wars Battlefront). He played one game of FIFA with absolutely no lag on Sunday afternoon. An hour later, the lag was terrible.
Yesterday, he played Battlefront while DW and I were out shopping. Once we returned, he couldn't get a reliable connection to the server.
We have Time Warner Internet and pay for 15mbps up/1mbps down. I ran a speedtest from my PC. 1+sec (NOT ms) ping, 15 down, >.5 up. Ran the test on the XBOX, 1+sec( Not ms) ping, 7 down, < .5 up.
We have the cable modem going to Linksys E2000 router/wifi, one feed from the Linksys to a Gigabit switch, then off to the devices. I took my laptop to the modem output and did speedtest. 12ms ping, 15down/1up. Hooked the Linksys back up and had the same. Went to the switch and was back to the long ping times. I hooked the XBOX straight to the Linksys. Run the XBOX test, and it's back to 1+sec ping and .5 up.
OK, maybe the problem is in my set up. Of course, by that point it was 7pm last night and I'm still not sure. So I check this morning.
From my PC, I'm now getting 12ms ping, 15down/1up. I check the XBOX. 99ms ping, 17down/1up.
So I still don't know... is the problem with the XBOX (connected via hardwire FWIW)?
Is the problem with my router?
Is the problem with Time Warner?
Is the problem with simply so many people on TW internet Christmas/yesterday late afternoon/evening?
I've rebooted the modem, the router, and the switch multiple times.
I've tried setting up port forwarding on the router for the XBOX suggested ports, but when I do an online port check, they still show closed.
Are we bogging down our network (four phones, 1 ipod, 1 PC, 1 ipad, although they weren't all active at the time of the problem)?
I haven't contacted TW because I am getting the bandwidth I'm paying for (according to my PC). The modem is a couple years old (Arris 602g).
Any suggestions?
