If you were lucky enough to get a shiny new Xbox Series X for Christmas, there are a few things you’ll want to do with your console first.
Personally I’d recommend checking outIndiana Jones And The Great Circleas soon as possible, since it’s one of the best games of the year. But there are also someXbox Series Xsettings that are worth changing right away.
One of the best settings you can change involves greatly improving your download speeds, which as anyone who has spent hours waiting for a new game to download will know is essential.

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to ensureXboxSeries X is downloading to the very best of its ability.
Thistipcomes courtesy of YouTuber Turbo Speed WiFi, who claims that one simple change could as much as double or triple your download speed.
To achieve this easy boost, you’ll need to change your WiFi router from using the 2.4 GHz band to the 5 GHz band. A lot of you will be aware of this trick, but it’s shocking how many gamers are still on the wrong band.
This is because many routers will broadcast both bands as separate networks, and your Xbox may not automatically pick up 5 GHz.

When Turbo Speed WiFi made the change in the tutorial, he was able to almost double his download speed whilst also giving his upload speed a boost too - and he’s not the only one.
“Wow. I just tried this and went from 22 Mbps to 178 Mbps,” wrote one commenter.
