dns issues with r8000p to my xbox
My xbox seems to not be able to get my dns settings from my router even though I think other devices in the home are having issues as well. I had to manualy put in the dns ips from the router and it p...
What modem/gateway are you connected to?
What firmware are you on?
Make sure IPv6 is enabled and if it wasn't, enable it and reboot the router and xbox.
- why should ipv6 make a difference? My isp still does ipv4 still. Did netgear fudge up ipv4 and not have any intention to fix it?
Because more device makers (windows specifically) are defaulting to IPv6 from the start. And the newer firmware seems to have issues with it if you're not using ipv6. Which is why I asked what firmware version you're on and if it was enabled.
- My question now if thats a solution is what happens to devices that may not support ipv6 and how much of a pain is it to implement static ips again? Ipv6 scares the poop out of me when I at least know how to set up devices on ipv4.
