Quick answer

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional
- Do not attempt this professional task: Network owner or internet provider
What a technician must be able to justify
A technician is coming
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Network owner or internet provider
What they doWhen the Xbox test shows packet loss above 5 percent after a router restart, the person who manages the router or the internet provider reviews the line and the network equipment.
They must show youa new speed and statistics test after their change.

Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Checks and evidence, step by step
Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

When the error appeared
No special tools
Procedure

- How:
- restart your network device, most likely the router, and try connecting to the Xbox service again.
- Result that matters:

Test network speed and statistics
No special tools
Procedure
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- press the Xbox button to open the guide, select Profile & system > Settings > General > Network settings, then Test network speed & statistics.
- Result that matters:
- the packet loss figure.
- If packet loss is greater than 5 percent:
- follow Xbox's Troubleshoot network connection errors guide; the network is the problem.
- If packet loss is 5 percent or less:
- the connection quality passes Xbox's threshold; retry the service later.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo of the test result screen.

What it means
Xbox shows 0x87DD001E when the console tries to connect to the Xbox service and cannot reach it. The page splits two cases: during a console system update or setup, the system update troubleshooting applies; otherwise the steps are restarting the network device and testing speed and statistics. A packet loss above 5 percent sends you to the network connection errors guide. The code does not point at a console fault.
