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 ...

   That's an argument between you and your ISP. If you have Internet
access, then that's not the problem.

   But, while we're looking at that picture...

   BASIC > Internet : Internet IP Address : IP Address (as shown in your
picture) provides the same critical fact: 100.68.<blur>.<blur>. Plug
that address into the form at: https://whois.arin.net/ .

   As you can see, that's not a public IP address. My guess would be
that your ISP is using carrier-grade NAT, and that's defeating your
attempts at port forwarding.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT

   The only solutions I know are: 1) to ask your ISP for a real public
address (for which they might charge more), or 2) to use a tunneling
service like the one mentioned in another thread (near the end):

Some ISPs do not permit servers for residential customers, but I'm
confident that they'll tell you that if you ask.

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.

Dexter,
Sorry I forgot to mention this in my reply. For the past week, my laptop and desktop WiFi adapters are showing to be Wireless n connections, and they are both ac, rated up to 867 Mbps. They have always shown to be Wireless ac until this past week. My Ethernet connections are also showing Wireless n instead of ac. I haven't changed anything. I updated drivers and checked firmware about 3 months ago. I check my firmware at least once a week.
Do you think my Router is going bad?
Also, Yes my firmware is current. And drivers are current on all my Ethernet and WiFi adapters.
I'm going to be getting a really big upgrade on my internet speed. Comcast is doing a special in my area. Get This: 265 Mbps!!

I'm not really in the best shape financially to upgrade my Router, but I have the R6100 AC 1200, and the stupid guy that helped me at the store said "You don't need to pay extra for Gigabit Lan ports"
These high speeds were all new to me. I have a Gigabit Ethernet card in my desktop and laptop. So my Beast desktop that I built is slower than my laptop on the Internet link speeds. Grrrr.
Anyway, my router only had a year warranty, and it's 2 years old.

Thanks

  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.
  
  Regards,

    Hey Dexter,
    Thanks for the advice. I've disabled QoS, we'll see how it goes.
    And I'm definitely getting a new Router that has Gigabit LAN ports. I'm even thinking of getting a Wi Fi adapter for my desktop. I have verified that my DOCSis modem is plenty fast enough for the new
    speeds.
    And yes, all of my devices connect to the 5 Ghz speed except my network printer. It can only handle 2.4 band. I can't even find in the specs what wireless speed it supports, or what mode of wireless it has.
    But it doesn't like the 5Ghz band.
    
    Thanks again for your help.
