Re: Xbox NAT & Teredo issues
With two consoles on the same LAN they will often be using the same ports, so you need a router that does a good job of managing UPNP in order to ensure the correct traffic goes to the correct console. Unfortunately the VM hubs do not have a good reputation when it comes to UPNP, even the Hub 3. The best solution is usually to get a third party router and put the hub into modem mode. The old Xbox forums had a thread where users would recommend routers that worked well with multiple consoles, but the link I have no longer works. ______________________ Scott My setup: VM TV 360 box, M350 Fibre broadband with a Hub 3.

Ethernet will always be better for gaming. ”As an example, we tested our Wi-Fi 6 network against a Cat6 ethernet. We ran four tests on each, and found the average ping of the wired connection was 16 ms with a jitter of 7 ms. The Wi-Fi connection had an average ping of 60 ms, with a jitter of 20 ms. That would present a very noticeable difference in game.” https://www.howtogeek.com/217463/wi-fi-vs.-ethernet-how-much-better-is-a-wired-connection/#:~:text=As%20an%20example%2C%20we%20tested,a%20very%20noticeable%20difference%20ingame. ______________________ Scott My setup: VM TV 360 box, M350 Fibre broadband with a Hub 3.

VM are aware of this issue and it is being investigated. It is an issue upstream of your box, so restarting it won’t help. I also have the issue and have resorted to my TVs iPlayer app to watch at least one of the programmes I recorded. ______________________ Scott My setup: VM TV 360 box, M350 Fibre broadband with Hub 3.

A password manager is a good solution for everyone to avoid using the same password on different sites, not just old geezers 😉 In the past I used the free version of Last Pass, but they recently started charging for using it on more than one device. I now use Bitwarden which can be used on multiple devices for free. Even the paid version is only $10 a year. https://bitwarden.com/ ______________________ Scott My setup: VM TV 360 box, M350 Fibre broadband with Hub 3 in modem mode connected to a Netgear R7000 router.
