Online Connection Error & Lag
I bought Battlefront on Xbox One and in almost every game I get extreme lag and cant move. I also get a big red box on the screen as im frozen with a connection bar. My question is: How do I resolv...

How to reboot your modem:
1. Shut down your device (Xbox.).
2. Unplug the power cord from the modem and your router. Verify you have unplugged the correct cords by checking that all the lights on the modem/router are turned OFF.
3. Wait 1 minute, then plug the power cord back into the modem and then the router.
4. Wait for the Internet light to turn green.
5. Turn your device back on.
6. Try connecting to the Internet.
Please refrain from pushing the reset button on the back of your modem as doing so will necessitate a reconfiguration .🤔
Now test your Xbox Live connection. Here's how:
- Scroll left from Home to open the guide.
- Select Settings.
- Select All Settings.
- Select Network.
- Select Network settings.
- Select Test network connection.
NOTE if the connection test is successful, your console will connect to Xbox Live. If the connection test is not successful, the Network Connection Troubleshooter will try to identify the problem.
Wired connection will always be faster and more reliable, try jacking in a wired connection and seeing if/how much it improves.
I have already tried to reset router its nothing to do with that. I did however figure out how to Open Ports for Battlefront and after 2 games i didnt experience lag.
I still need to Open Ports on the 2nd Xbox if it works ill report back. If not ill be out of ideas.

Ok @LoveNolan i wait your feedback.
- Update: I have experienced less lag as a result of opening ports however my brother also needs to be able to play on his own xbox and he still gets lag (because the ports open on my ip) and i cant figure out how to fix this issue and open all the ports again for his IP???
I get an error that wont let me open the same ports on seperate IPs? Is this an issue?
Im so annoyed i paid money to sit around messing with routers. EA is pushing its luck :/
There must be an easier way or a patch coming to fix this its a game breaker.
Edit: Can i assign the new IP im using for the Open Ports on both Xboxs or do they require seperate IPs??? :/You need to let UPnP dynamically forward the ports to whichever XBOne requires it at the time, this is probably the simplest method. You should remove any static forwarding rules set up on the router and enable UPnP on both sides-worth to try this step🤔 ((although i don't have xboxes to test with))😇
If buy another *internet* IP and have static forwarding to both wireless and wired connections, simple.😉
Still by using 2 different ip internally you are creating the same problem(gets lag). You can not port forward the same outside port to 2 different ip inside even if it happens to be the same device.
What you need to accomplish is to get the xbox to use the same IP on the wireless and the ethernet. On a PC it is pretty simple you just go in and set them the same. Sometimes you have to manually disable one but many times it just work. I would try to put the same IP on both the wireless and the wired connection in the xbox.
If all else fails you manually set the ip when you change from wireless to wired. 🤨
