New RS700S questions

[FattiesGoneWild]

Have my new router setup and everything is great so far. I have Charter Spectrum internet and wanted to know if enabling ipv6 is advised in the router settings? It’s disabled by default. Also, how do I disable WPS completely as it will never be used?

[FURRYe38]

Does the ISP support native IPv6? Something to ask them about and see if they do, and if so, are there any specific IPv6 configurations needed on the router. 

[microchip8]

IPv6 is "the future" whether you like it or not, and more and more sites are gaining support for it. Enable it.

WPS can't be completely disabled. Don't worry, you have to be physically at the router and press the WPS button for it to do anything.

IPv6 wise they say dual stack ipv4/ipv6 is supported what ever that means? Again, not sure if I should enable it and select auto detect?

[FURRYe38]

Yes try Auto Detect. 

What is the brand and model# of the ISP modem or ONT the RS router is connected too? 

[FattiesGoneWild]

Netgear CM1200 is the cable modem.

[FURRYe38]

Let us know how it goes after you try it.

Charter Spectrum uses 6to4 tunnel and that is what the router detected/selected. Is it worth running? I started getting lag in games and when I turned it off, it was fine again?

[schumaku]

Peek and poke around the wild Internet shows that (at least good parts of Spectrum) are supporting native IPv6. The 6to4 tunnel seems to be around for some special use cases only.  Assuming there is no other router in the data path, better consult with your ISP or ISP specific communities like https://www.dslreports.com/forum/charter

Most ISPs IPV6 implementation is pretty awful. You won't be gaining anything by enabling it, tbh.

In which aspect?

Gaining in what? It's yet another Internet access protocol, IPv6 vs. IPv4. End to end IPv6, no more crappy IPv4 NAT required. Isn't this enough?
