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.

The same admin approval wait time applies to PM's.

Bummer, I’ll see if my wife can do it when she gets home later.
thanks!

I can see the inline pictures now.
The picture in the data sheet just shows the ONT on a stand. Your picture is on its side.
Attached to this message is a PDF version of the user’s manual for the Nokia XS-250WX-A. Most likely very similar devices.
Attached in the next two messages are two screen snips from the manual. One relating to logging in to the user interface and one relating to enabling IPv6. Pages 80 and 87 respectively.
We are at a point where either you are going to have to log in to your Nokia ONT and enable the IPv6 functionality or you are going to have to have the ISP technician make the change.

You posted an inline picture at 10:00 AM my time and it is visible to me at 10:07 AM.

I have god given powers (superuser) to confuse the world.
I can also, in theory at least, approve pictures, which is why I was surprised that you hadn't seen some.

I presumed other forces were at work.

Do you know how I would get to the log in window?
Thanks!

Also the Xbox has a way to test your NAT type. It will say, open, moderate, strict or double NAT. So the ONT may already have bridge mode enabled because mine is open, it was strict until I opened some ports. I may just need to go in and enable IPV6.

Thanks for the help. I tried logging in and it gave me a network change error and shut me out of tv for a while. The internet came back after a few minutes. I’m going to call them and have them do it. Do you think there is any negatives to getting a switch and bypassing the router (just for the Xbox)? Thanks again for the help.

It won't work.
Without your router, The Xbox won't know where to go.

The switch would be connected to the ONT. since the ONT only has one working port my plan was, instead of connecting the router to that port I would run a switch and connect the router and the Xbox to the switch. I was able to connect the Xbox directly to the ONT and it worked. Just want to give you a clear picture of what I’m doing.. This won’t work?

Okay thanks!

With the X box connected directly to the ONT, did it have an IPv6 address?
- LeadPipeAug 15, 2023Aspirant
It did not.
- KitsapAug 15, 2023Master
Please provide an update after you have had your ISP make changes to the settings in your ONT.
- LeadPipeAug 15, 2023Aspirant
Will do, they said the ONT is configured for both and the determination is made the router but they are sending a tech here tomorrow. I’m going to try hooking the Xbox back up to the ONT and reset everything and see if anything changes.
thanks

Appreciate your providing feedback. At least for the moment, now you know.

I would feel more confident if I knew 100% that my router supports IPV6.
