The lagging is because streaming video takes a lot of bandwidth. Think of it like water pressure and when you are in the shower your sister puts the washing machine to work. It messes with your water pressure right.. 

On the google wifi system you can set a priority to a device for a particular amount of time to give them "Preference" on the network. 

You should try and see if you can set your Xbox as preferred for an hour and see if that helps. It will restrict the bandwidth to everything else and give your Xbox a steady stream :-)

It should help yes. Plus you can set your Xbox as a priority and that gives you the advantage.

If it is signal quality related yes. If the internet speeds you pay for is slow, then it likely will not solve the issue. Though it does have good traffic management so it could possibly resolve the issue regardless of internet speeds.

You can try prioritizing the xbox to get the most out of it. Im assuming Netflix would be taking most the connection. Or maybe bump up your internet speed.

Maybe yes and maybe no. I noticed that multiple devices could connect better with this hub, but if a device is really sapping all the bandwidth, that won't help you too much. Google Wifi allows you to set a device as priority for a period of time. So you could go into the app that controls your google wifi and set your Xbox as the priority device when that happens. It won't be a permanent setting change, but it will help out in a pinch.
