Why Would an Xbox One Need a Static IP?
Depending on how you set up your network, you may find that your Xbox One is assigned a different IP address every time it connects to the network. It’s usually not a problem, but there are situations where it can help have a static IP that never changes.
The main reason to assign a static IP is to allow you to make advanced changes to your network settings that will apply only to the Xbox One. For instance, you may be able to access the advanced settings in your router to change the network address translation (NAT) type to fix Xbox One connection problems. If you are experiencing that problem, you will also have to forward ports in your router’s advanced settings. Here are the ports that you typically need to forward:
TCP: 53, 80, 3074UDP: 53, 88, 500, 3074, 3544, 4500
Depending on your router, you may be able to set a static IP address from the router control panel. If that isn’t possible, you can set a static IP right from the Xbox One itself.
