Community Power UserYou both would have had the same IP when on Shaw also. That shouldn't be the issue. The small square may just be the coil of fibre. The larger square would likely be the Network Access Hub. That one is the actual router.
Is that the only game affected? Are there any other things you do besides gaming that are affected? Are you seeing any error messages? What do they say and what error code is shown? Are the PCs and Xboxes connected to wifi or ethernet?
Opening specific ports won't do much as the game would automatically do it on its own. Same with the Xbox. I doubt a third party router would solve anything anyways. It would just add another layer of complexity / point of failure.
I am having the same exact issues!! shaw gives you a 2nd ip free and you can bridge the modem and viola no problems. I have called Telus and they will not give me a 2nd ip period. Regretting the switch to Telus now because I have yet to fix this.
- I have also not yet been able to find a solution. We restart our entire service before we play/stream, and as long as one of is is on a different platform, most of the time we can make it work. I'd say about 70/30% at this point.Still no actual help or solution - but only so much is telus's fault. It's the Activision spagetti-code and their network bs more than it's the ISP... but it is insane that such a simple fix exists and they are unwilling to help.Going to be getting some 3rd party hardware that can assist soon. They are just spendyyyy
