A router will prefer to renew it's up address from the isp if possible. Problem is it renews every 24 hours if I remember correctly. The isp will then lease that address to another router you statically assigned if your router does not request it again or if your router disconnects from the isp. The ISP uses a different subnet allocated specifically for static up addresses seperate from dhcp subnets. Your Xbox is not a router, it can't host your network for other devices, or forward traffic. The router will treat your Xbox as an edge device. You still must host your private home network with your router. Keep in mind, your Xbox plugs into the router.

You can however directly connect your Xbox with a static address to your modem and will communicate directly with the isp default gateway. I don't recommend this as you might save microseconds in latency. Just buy a router that prioritizes gaming traffic.


Alright, turning off nerd mode lol.
