Hello, I am having trouble with lag on my Xbox whilst using the vigor 130 connected into my google WiFi, the google WiFi team are trying to isolate issue but I can’t seem to connect my Xbox directly to the modem (Vigor 130), is anyone able to help me with the correct settings? My isp is BT.

Thank you

There are no "settings" , the Vigor 130 is a modem only , it has no routing functions. Lag could be cables, the BT connection/distance to cabinet etc or even more likely your WiFi being affected by other devices in the area.

Your XBox will never work connected direct to the modem, it has to be connected to a router .

(BTW, you have posted in the wrong place so replies will be less likely, this part of the forum is only for issues using the forum software)

Thank you very much for your help, I’ll make sure I post in the correct area next time.

My Xbox is connected via Ethernet, so now I’m wondering if its a cable, is there any cables you would recommend?

Most branded Cat5E or above cables should be fine, you don't need to waste money on the expensive gold/shielded cables.

As your ISP is BT you can run line tests yourself.

run the speed test, then use the "Advanced Tests" by entering your phone number.


You can also check what throughput OpenReach give for your line by using the DSL Checker .
