How to use Xbox Networking in Windows 10, to check your connection to Xbox Live
One of the small improvements in Windows 10 Fall Creators Uрdate is the additіon of a new tool called Xbox Networking. It gives information on your latency, packet loss rate, and whether your home network is properly configured for online play through Xbox Live services. Xbox Networking is Microsoft's attempt to identify and resolve issues preventing you from using voice chatting and playing multiplayer games with other Xbox Live users. Let's see how this tool works and whether it makes it easier for you to have a good online gaming experience:
NOTE: This guide is for users of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update or newer. This version is available for free, to all Windows 10 users, starting October 17th, 2017.
What does Xbox Networking check in Windows 10?
When you use the Xbox Networking tool in Windows 10, it automatically starts to check the following aspects:
- The status of your internet connection - it tells you whether the internet is working or not on your Windows 10 computer or device.
- The status of Xbox Live services - if they are down or they have issues, you will be informed. Otherwise, they are listed as up and running. This is the easiest way to check whether Xbox Live is down or not.
- The latency of your connection to Xbox Live service - this is the delay before a transfer of data begins following an instruction for its transfer. The smaller the latency the faster your game(s) respond to your commands.
- Packet loss - this occurs when one or more packets of data that are travelling between your Windows 10 device and the Xbox Live services, fail to reach their destination. This is measured as a percentage of packets lost with respect to packets sent. For the best gameplay experience, packet loss needs to be 0% or as close to 0% as possible. Packet loss is caused by network congestion or by a wireless router that has to handle too many clients and transfers. Packet loss causes a significant increase in latency.
- NAT Type - NAT comes from Network Address Translation and it is a service that works like your street address, as a way to find out exactly where you are and deliver information to you. NAT ensures that your Windows 10 device can find all Xbox Live services and that these services can find your Windows 10 PC or device. In Microsoft's terms, the NAT type can be strict or moderate. If it is strict, you cannot host multiplayer, chat, or hear audio when playing online. For all this to be possible, it must be set to moderate.
- Server connectivity - it checks where Windows 10 can access the servers used by Xbox Live services for online gaming.
