@Alexandre. thanks for the advice. I tried them out but no luck. then I was playing around with the advanced settings and discovered UPNP was disabled. *Facepalm* thanks anyways.

I recently purchased and installed the TP-Link Deco X20 (2022Jan05). So far it's been a great mesh system and easy to install... up until I tried playing my xBox One. Setup: I have a Shaw Hitron Wifi...
