cvndlz Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Wutup forums, Today I went out and splurged a bit on myself, purchasing the Xbox S and getting it directly setup to run a Dedicated Server for Ark. I've got one issue though: the connection is poope. I was able to play on a server by myself with my other box hosting the dedi. for about 30 minutes, but when I made the switch to the Center and attempted to have my coworker join, that's when my connection started to give me issues. I've ran a speed test, and the results seemed alright (posted below) I'd like to make note that the Xbox S (Ark Server let's call it) is running wired to my router, and my client box is wireless. The ark server disconnects from live and shuts down first, then the client box is disconnected from live afterwards and leaves a "lost connection" message. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to how to improve the connection quality/keep the server connected to clients in general. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvndlz Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 I'd also like to make note that I disconnected my carrier to ensure the speed test was accurately reading my wifi. Hope this can help you help me :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klepticism Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Whats your rates on the server?like gather and harvest wise? To high of rates could cause lag or high ping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOLLIDAY2000 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 your stats are low so, i don't know why know why you would lagging problems. If you can please tell me your ping and how many players were on during the event. P.S try to DW (dinowipe) before the ping gets too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOLLIDAY2000 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 BTW make sure you have your setting for xbox so when not moving the controller for X amount of time it DOESN'T shut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local was at 12-14. Now that I'm looking into it, it seems like it may be a router issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renagade210 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I work for spectrum.. is your Xbox hard lines to your modem/ router? Or are you using wifi? If on wifi try hard lining your console. When using wifi "interference" will cause your internet to slow and drop out. There is nothing you can do about interference either. That's why your speed test is only showing 45 down. You're probably paying for 200+ mb per sec. judging from your upload speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may explain why its acting this way. We are having issues with our WiFi shorting out when we have multiple devices connected however, so I've convinced my family to let me search for a better router. Would you have any suggestions? Also, pretty sure we are as well. Bright house "lightning" speeds. Lol. When I think of it more and more, it really seems to be a router issue to me haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AC1900 is the lower priced one, would it still be able to handle multiple boxes and laptops/other devices? Also wanna say thank you so much for the help!
