JAKARTA - Since the launch of game consoles such as the Xbox Series X, graphic quality in the game has skyrocketed. But in fact, game size, there are updates and other improvements require adequate internet.
In addition, developers also often release games with larger files, downloading them alone can be very troublesome if you don't have an internet connection at high speed.
Fortunately, there are several methods that you can try to increase download speed. Check out the method below!
Always Use Ethernet Cable
For all internet activities, using built-in connections will always be faster and more reliable than wireless connections. By downloading content to your Xbox, ethernet cables can substantially reduce the time you spend waiting for your game to be downloaded and updated
If your Xbox is not connected automatically to the router when using the cable connection, try restarting the console and router by unplugging both for at least five minutes.
Find Your Xbox Closer to Router
Moving your console closer to the router can help if you don't have an ethernet cable and you still want to increase your download speed.
Reducing space between Xbox and your router is a great way to download and update your game faster. Because walls, floors, and other barriers can reduce your internet speed and have a big impact on your downloads.
Enter your Xbox into Sleep Mode to Download
If you know that big updates or game releases are imminent, another method you can do is switch Xbox to Sleep mode. According to Microsoft, this mode will keep your console on alert constant, you can turn it on quickly and get through longer boot-ups.
However, it will also allow your console to download content even when it's turned off. While Sleep mode is useful for spending time downloading game files and updates, it doesn't necessarily increase your download speed in the same way as a cable connection.
However, this is the best way to make sure that your Xbox doesn't use unnecessary bandwidth with online games or streaming content for trying to download games or update files.
Consider Buy a New Router and Improve Your ISP Package
According to Microsoft, if you've tried everything you can to increase download speed on Xbox and network settings, the last thing you can do is try and improve things on the side of your internet service provider.
For example, you can try downloading content during hours that aren't too busy. If you see that your console has slower download speeds on weekdays or weekends, try to start downloading during the morning on weekdays or overnight to avoid a possible network slowdown from your internet service provider.
Consider also to buy a new router. The better router offers higher and more stable network bandwidth among the many devices.
Also increase internet packages with your internet service providers. Most internet packages offer varying download speeds related to different price levels. Thus quoted from Slashgear, Monday, November 14.
