MR80 Disable IPv6
I have a HDHOMERUN Flex4k and their support is telling me to disable IPv6 to try and troubleshoot an issue I'm having. I'm not seeing a way to do that on this router. Am I missing it somewhere?
I need to disable it on the LAN side. It's already disabled for the internet connection.
Here is what their support people wrote to me. I'm having an issue where the picture freezes and then I get text on the screen that says "communication error". So they blame my wi-fi network even though I have many other devices, and they all work properly>>>
It sounds like those are really bad routers. They have poor IPv6 support and you can't even disable IPv6. Other people don't have this problem on their networks. Our device follows the IPv6 spec correctly, and issues both an IPv6 and IPv4 address.
I don't know what to tell you. Your router is removing the IPv6 assignment to the HDHomeRun unit when those communication errors happen, not the other way around. There is no bug with the HDHomeRun.
- Silicondust Support- I have an hdhomerun and have used the mk nighthawk with ipv6. No issues whatsoever. I've had my hdhomerun for 6 years and I've used it with multiple systems. Maybe a better description of your actual issue would help
