(I know I'm about the describe an xbox one related problem, but I am seeking help here in finding what tools might help find the issue.)
I'm having an issue that I don't know how to narrow down. When playing online games on my Xbox One such as Elder Scrolls Online, World of Tanks, or Destiny I will lag out of the game randomly. In both ESO and Destiny this means losing connection to the server and often I also lose party chat. Party chat can quickly be resumed by leaving party and rejoining.
In World of Tanks it means my tank lags out for ten seconds before I regain control. My xbox is on a wired connection.
The above issues can occur numerous times an hour, or I may go hours with no problem.
This is not a full internet outage as I do not lose my connection to xbox live and if my wife or son are watching netflix over Chromecast they do not lose the stream (although it will degrade in quality for a few seconds around the time I lose my connection.) I also game on my PC but lately it's been single player games so I haven't experienced the same problem there yet.
Are there any free tools I can use to monitor my traffic and see if there is a device on my network that is suddenly spiking in bandwidth use? I looked at the log on my router but I don't see anything there during the times my game connections are interrupted. There are many devices on my network and I keep wondering if one of them is periodically "spiking" my connection.
Any help appreciated.
