R6100, I keep losing IPV6 connectivity
Greetings Gear Group :manindifferent: Running Windows 10 Pro 64bit 1607... I just noticed this 2 or 3 weeks ago. My Samsung Galaxy S6 Always had a link speed of 867 Mbps. One day it was slow ...
Hi ckbeme,
1. Please try disabling QoS entirely and check if the issue persists.
2. Please make sure that you are using WPA2 for security to get the optimum speed.
3. Please make sure that your devices are connected to the 5GHz band since the 2.4GHz band is only up to 300Mbps.
4. The current router that you have does not have Gigabit ports so you will need to upgrade in the event that you switch to the new service.

Hi ckbeme,
1. Do you have QoS enabled on the router?
2. Your IPv6 connection is on the WAN side. The router will give out IPv4 addresses within the LAN. This is a normal behavior.
3. Please try changing the WiFi mode and check if it makes a difference.
4. Have you tried other firmware versions?

Hey Dexter,
Thanks for the reply. I went into QOS setup, and I'm sending you a screen shot. I don't think I ever did anything with QOS settings, but I might have long ago. It's just that only in the past few weeks I've
noticed IPV6 connections were hit and miss. And this is happening on my Ethernet and WiFi connections.
From what I can gather, QoS is enabled. Do I need to make a rule? Or is that just for gamers? Cuz I don't ever do any gaming.
