Bdotson5 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Someone explain this.. I have two consoles in the house. Xbox One S which is my son's, and my Xbox One X. My Son's Xbox One S gets 25ms ping when getting detailed network stats from Xbox Live. My Xbox One X gets a 78ms ping when getting detailed network stats from Xbox Live. My XR500 is in my home office, and directly connected to the uplink on the fiber ONT. My xbox X is hard wired to the XR500 with a Cat6+ patch cord. My son's is in the living room, and I have a cat6 line ran to that room that uplinks to a Netgear Nighthawk Gaming switch, the xbox then links up to that hard wired with a cat5e patch cord. And somehow he gets much lower latency???? How in the hell is that possible. The only two logical guesses is the servers the One X is programmed to use is much farther away, and the One S is more local or shorter. Or that I have a problem with the NIC card in the One X. Thoughts??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG__DOG Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 It is going to be a process of elimination i think. I would swap the consoles around and do another network test. It could be a cable also but it maybe easier just to swap the consoles over for an hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try wireless on the One S, and it still ping at 27ms. So that eliminates network cards and cabling i think and I think the One S is coded to use different servers?

Administrators Netduma Admin Posted August 18, 2018 Administrators Share Posted August 18, 2018 That’s likely, or possibly that is region is different. I wouldn’t read a huge amount into it though as your setup is good. The speed tests on consoles are known for being quite erratic and unreliable. But I would try swapping the room and how they setup to eliminate for certainty that there is nothing wrong with your network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 As Netduma Admin said, don't worry about it if you have no issues with your online gaming. If online lag is worse on your xbox compared to your sons then I would keep troubleshooting. Xbox One X seems to have some quality issues, I just had to send mine into microsoft to repair a faulty HDMI port. I have not tried the xbox one S but I have tried both the OG xbox one and xbox one x and the latency is the same. From what I have read in the past the server that all xbox's check during the test is located in Seattle. I live in Illinois and and get about 46 to 49 for latency. When I lived on the east coast (Virginia and South Caroline) my pings would be in the high 60's to mid 70's. I would try going to advanced network settings on the xbox and go to alternate mac address and clear it. This will reboot your console and is often what I do when my xbox is acting sluggish.
