Anyone else "rubber banding" on the Xbox (OG) console? Like not saying it's random, i'm saying it's every game every 20 seconds or so. Something needs to be fix.
Solved! Go to Solution.

It is off as it says "NOTE: If your download speed is greater than 70 Mbps, Intellistream QoS will only improve your uploading experience." On Belkin routers it's called Intellistream if anyone else can't find it.
So here it my current update on this networking issue. I don't lag out anymore just random. What did i do? Alot lol.
First I moved Apex Legends from the consoles 5400 RPM HDD to a Samsung Evo 128Gb thumbdrive (yes, a thumb drive) on the Xbox One.
Second. I made the Xbox have an static IP, than moved that to a DMZ. Now i hope I did that right, as I'm not sure if it just placed everything on the network in the DMZ (i'm still learning lol).
I also changed the DNS of the console to Googles 8 8 8 8 8 8 4 4, but not sure what effect that did.
So the game runs okay like this, no rubber banding I can see. I also download now at around 160 - 190 Mbps even with all the computers connected. So in case someone was having any types of these issues, you might find a fix in doing one of these.
Thanks again for the help on this issue. I'm all good atm now

Hi there, @Popa2caps.
I'll try to help with this. First, are you on a wired or wireless connection? Also, has it been a while since you power cycled your equipment? If so, try doing it now with these steps: unplug your modem, router and console. After 2 minutes plug in the modem and router. Let them come back online completely. Then plug in your console and start it up. Let me know if that helps or not. Thanks!

Wired, Who in the world play videos games on wi fi trying to get low latency gaming haha. Sorry, been sarcastic all day, my bad. Yeah network is doing great. Changed cables from my desktop custom built computer and just the same thing. I also noticed that my PC will download on origin at 27MB a second, but on my Xbox Apex Legends was only downloading at 67 mbps.
I tested the console networking and everything just says okay, with OPEN nat. The gameplay on Apex Legends is very very odd. Not once have I've noticed this on PC and i've played that for almost a year lol.
So note
Hardwire to modem
changed cables from PC, still get issue
did a power cycle
used a hammer on the console
made some bacon
Things to note i've had not tried yet
Changing the install to an external SSD and or HDD.
Also I directly noticed that sometimes when getting close to some groups of people (only on Xbox) i'll get kicked from the game and have to re-load. It's a gamble if i'm down when I re-load.

Good call on the bacon! That should probably be one of the first things you do when it comes to network issues
Have you tried alternate DNS servers? If not, try these steps. From the Xbox One home screen, go to Settings > Network > Advanced settings > DNS settings > Manual. (If Settings doesn't appear on the home screen, select My Games & Apps, then Settings). From there, enter the Primary DNS as "208.67.222.222" and the Secondary DNS as "208.67.220.220". If that doesn't help, try using the google DNS servers which are: primary alt number 8.8.8.8 - secondary alt number 8.8.4.4. Let me know if that makes a difference or not.

Okay will let you know. Testing it right now.

"208.67.222.222" and the Secondary DNS as "208.67.220.220" didn't work. I noticed that my player would speed up and slow down at random times. I mostly noticed this because i couldn't pick anything up like weapons, items etc. Trying the google one next.

Tested both DNS, didn't work. No change between each of them. I'll just speed up and slowdown at very random times. Like my legend will do just that, speed up like i'm running faster then anyone else, and quickly goes to a slow state, then back to normal speed.
Now that i remember it. This Xbox one (OG) has never had a great time with download, I wonder if it's just a bad console. Also another issue that I noticed is when i get close to some set of players, I will just get kicked from the game. It's very common to get that late at night like 1am or so.
I don't get any network issues on Warzone, but i don't play it that much.

Thanks for trying. Do you have a PC by chance? If so let’s find out how your connection is reaching our servers. Can you run a UO Trace and screenshot me the results? Instructions are here: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/connection-troubleshooting-basic.
