ipv6 issues
I have spectrum Turned in the ipv6 in modem DHCP selected Xbox still not getting an ipv6 address Did an ipv6 test and it failed. Spectrum says they aren’t blocking and should be working. ...
First, thank you all for helping me with suggestions. I did use the password recovery procedure that Netgear suggested, and I saw that my admin password had changed. I was still not able to log in. So, I deleted the Orbi app, and then re-installed it. I then tried setting up my Orbi router as a new device. When it prompted me to connect to it, I simply placed my phone next to my macbook pro(which was connected to the Orbi router) and a pop up window on the laptop prompted me, "do you want to share your Orbi password with your iphone?" I answered yes, and boom my phone was connected. Problem solved. I updated my hardware to the the new firmware and everything is fine. So, now all devices are on the Orbi mesh.
Not the most elegant solution, but when I tested the network everything was connected and upload/download speeds were great. Thank you all again for your help! Much appreciated.
Go to Advanced -> Advanced Setup -> IPv6. You can select there DHCP or Auto Config (SLAAC)
Ok I have it on DHCP and it grabs ip’s. My iPhone I can surf to ipv6.google.com, but Xbox still not grabbing one. They say on their network setting I’m on 4 and should check out ipv6, but it still isn’t grabbing one. ....... well all be darned after numerous of the same tries it just switched over as I typed. Tyvm.
