Nighthawk R8000Pturn on IPV6
Hi I have a P8000 and I’m trying to turn on IPv6 to run an Xbox series x. Is there a way to turn this on? The version I have is V1.4.4.94. My ISP is Hotwire communications. I have very little technic...
Tech was here made a bunch of calls and determined IPV6 isn’t available yet. “It’s something we’re working on”. It’s 50/50 if it’s actually not turned on or they just wanted to get rid of me. But anyway thanks everyone for the help.

Thanks in advance!
Couple of questions. What is the brand name and model number of the modem/ONT connected upstream between your router and the internet? Does your ISP support IPv6?
If yes, proceed. Log in to the router user interface, go to the Advanced Tab -> Advanced Setup -> IPv6. Under connection type, select either DHCP or Auto Detect. Under IPv6 DNS, select get automatically from your ISP. Under LAN setup, select use DHCP server.
Once you make the changes, you should reboot your router.
