Xbox causing router to shut down
Recently moved my router location to be next to my Xbox and allow a hard wired connection.
Pre-move: static IP address, port forwarding Xbox service ports as well as COD WWII. My connection was very poor as th router was in another room on the opposite end of the house, causing a lot of latency.
Post-move: still have same static IP address and ports being forwarded. The connection works great but there is a big failure. When I power down my Xbox it immediately causes my router to go down. And the router has to be rebooted(unplug and plug back in) in order to start transmitting WiFi again.
I have ruled out the cable, and router as I can connect other devices such as my MacBook and there are no issues when shutting down. Even if the Xbox is in an off state, when I plug in the Ethernet to the port on the xbox, it also causes the router to go down.
I have also tried the instant on vs energy saver mode, no luck. It seems to be an issue when the Xbox is in an off status. Any help here? Much appreciated.
Это хороший вопрос?

Hi,
Can you try a different power outlet for either the router or the Xbox, so that they don't share the same outlet, if they are that is?

Someone on reddit recommended that as well. I have a surge protector that my Xbox is plugged into, as well as the router. Would it make a difference if I plug the router directly into the wall and leave the Xbox connected to the surge protector, even though it’s the same outlet?
