Xbox One Download Speed Slow

If the Xbox download speed is slow, but the internet is fast on other devices, try restarting your Xbox console. Restarting your Xbox will clear out any temporary files or cached data, and shut down any unnecessary background processes that may be using up bandwidth. This can help free up resources on your Xbox and potentially improve its performance.

However, restarting your Xbox will not necessarily solve all download speed issues, and it may not make a significant difference in cases where the slow download speed is due to a problem with your internet connection or a slow server.

If your Xbox download speed is slow, you can also try changing the DNS server on your Xbox. The Domain Name System (DNS) is a network protocol that translates domain names into numerical IP addresses that computers use to communicate.

When you access a website or download a file on your Xbox, your Xbox will send a request to the DNS server to look up the IP address of the destination server. If the DNS server is slow or unresponsive, it can cause delays in your download speed.

Quick tip: Sometimes, the download speed can be slow because your provider is having a network problem. Contact them if this is the case, and if it is, ask when normal service will be restored.

When your Xbox One isn't downloading fast enough, you don't have to be stuck with unacceptable speeds. Try these troubleshooting tricks to speed up your downloads and get to playing your games faster.

5. You'll get a message telling you that you're currently playing a game, and if you'd like to suspend it to improve download speed. Highlight Suspend my game and then press A to suspend the game.

Simply connect the Ethernet cable to your internet router and to your Xbox One. Once the Ethernet cable is connected, your internet connection will be stronger and your downloads should speed up considerably.

Quick tip: If all the steps above don't help, it could be that you're trying to download the game during peak hours. Try leaving it downloading overnight and see if the internet speed will pick up and finish the download by the morning.

Another thing is that the xbox speedtest feature isn't that accurate. I'd make sure you're on the 5ghz and then test using phone/tablets to see what speeds your at using speedtest.com (try changing servers on the speedtest site as well)

I have a Nighthawk R8000 router. My Xbox Series X speeds are slow compared to my other devices (phone, computer, etc.). I have my Xbox wired with a Cat6 Ethernet cable. My internet when connected to my Xbox tests at 250 mbps. When I take the ethernet cable out of my Xbox and connect it to my computer I get 550 mbps. Why would my Xbox not be getting the same speed? Dynamic QoS is not enabled.

Its usually because the xbox is testing off a different server and that server isn't saturating it. Games don't take that much bandwidth so even getting 250mbps is way more than will be needed for gaming. The only benefit for faster speeds with that system is the games download quicker.

We've seen it were Xbox and there speed testing services may or may not be the most accurate or reliable. If your wired PC is getting to spec speed thru the router and the Xbox isn't, I would guess that the xbox and there services are the problem. Seen this before with prior xbox consoles. There networking and adapters they use are not that great sometimes. There's was also a problem with the X series xbox ethernet adapters causing network problems when they came out. Not sure if that was ever fully addressed.

I have owned an XR500 for a couple of years now. Never any issues on the multiple systems with a wired connection. Consistently reaching close to advertised speeds, Gigablast service. Anyways I was finally able to purchase a Series X on June 16th. I get home, go through the install and begin to download everything back to the console. First thing I notice is the crazy slow download speeds I max out at maybe 9Mpbs down to 54KB. So I do the standard bandwidth test on console to the Seattle servers and get 8Mbps down and 8Mpbs up no packet loss and 30ms ping. I do a speedtest.net test from the console browser ,local and out-of-state ping is terrible. I test my wireless connection from my laptop and my other Xbox, which is wireless, and get 400Mbps. I read on some other MS forums that there were issues upon the release of the console and other people reported slow speeds, but most posts are old and not much follow up. I also read about the quick-resume feature etc causing issues but the thing is I dont even have any games installed yet so there is nothing to pause. So this what I have done so far:

I have tried changing out the ethernet cable, works just fine on other devices so that is not it. I changed to a wireless connection on the Series X and get 500Mbps so it works just fine wireless. Skipped past the router and direct connection from cable modem to Xbox and get 950Mbps. Now as I was working through the various testing it was getting late so I did one last reboot, disconnected everything, etc and magically around 2am I was getting my normal fast speeds through the wired connection. So fast forward to this morning and its back to around 9Mbps. I go check my other Xbox that is wireless and get started to download a game and was getting 450Mbps. I am not sure what exactly is wrong or what I am doing is incorrect as I did not change any major settings on the router and it appears to only have an issue when connecting to router with a wired connection. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This is one of the posts on the MS boards. I mean there are various other forums topics with a Google search but this relates to my situation. I could not find anything specific on these forums. Some people report there is a flaw with the quick resume function and background games still running etc but in my case I have nothing downloaded yet to play as I go as low as 56kbps for download speeds. There was someone that posted a fix but that was for some provider in the UK and a smarthub feature or whatever specific to their provider.

I've run numerous speed tests from various websites, including the recommended testmy.net, all of them have came back with >40mbps download speeds. During the same time that those tests were run, my Xbox Series X is downloading at horrendously slow speeds. Anywhere from 3kbs to 100kbs. Why is that? My Xbox is connected via ethernet to the modem. I've even tried allowing the ports needed for Xbox and Xbox live. Any thoughts?

And yes, I have already tried unplugging the modem from the wall numerous times.

Both the download and the upload look fine; the upload speed is within the 3 Mbps for the system, and the download is more than the 25Mbps advertised. Hopefully a rep will reply and do more troubleshooting, or someone else may chime in with more ideas.

Though I don't know if this is the reason for the issue, some severs react terribly to the higher latency inherent to geostationary satellite internet like HughesNet, giving speeds that are much lower than what you experience with other things, including the tests.

Again, I don't know if this is what's happening here, but it's one possibility. I don't have an Xbox, so I can't check what it would be for me. I do remember a time a while back where about 600MB worth of Windows updates took something like 27 hours to download, which was absolutely ridiculous, as my overall speed was about the same as yours, in the 40s. This slow speed with the Windows updates lasted for a while, then one day it was fast again.

I can't seem to figure out what's up with my download speeds on XBox Series X. Net searching just seems to find a lot of useless info and people saying "I don't have that problem, you're stupid" to each other.

The network tests on the consoles are an approximation, and shouldn't be considered 100% reliable. You might get better results speed testing from the web browser or seeing if the console's app store has a dedicated speed test app from Ookla.

Good luck with that. I bought an Xbox360S way back in 2010, and it had a similar problem except that the download was slow and upload fast. I never could figure it out. It did the same across several different router brands. I eventually concluded it must have been a bad network card in the Xbox itself.

I'm having the same problem. Also gigabit internet. Seems to have happened since switching from the fios quantum router to the G3100 router. Can't get my upload above 50 mbps wired. Wireless it will be higher, 200+ consistently. Not sure if the router is throttling it or what. With the quantum router it would always be very close to matching the download speed.

My son races with a Xbox one controller currently with Forza 5. We have noticed that when driving faster the response to turn the cars slow. For example start race, use no gas and the turn wheel left and right with no issue of full turn, now give full throttle and as you increase speed the steering will no longer go although way right or left until you lose traction, High speed in straight away with controller to left the car barely moves to the left.

Steering assist set to normal and simulation does this.

We have noticed this in Horizon 2 also.

I thought It could be the wireless controller because I did notice that when I got a wired controller for xbox 360 is reacted slighty faster because I got a new flat screen tv and its reaction was horrible and I wanted to reduce the lag time. ff782bc1db
