    The IPV that will be reported is the one that the IP address your house is using belongs to. IPv6 simply adds more IP addresses to the Internet. It will not improve your NAT which is strictly your local network

    this is not a manual thing. The only way to do it would be to call your Internet provider and pay for a static IP in the IPV6 range

    Xbox One X dropping IPv6 Connection.

    Do you know if you ISP supports IPv6? Your router could be tunneling your IPv4 connection to an IPv6 which basically means it is sending IPv6 packets through an IPv4 connection to communicate with IPv6 servers. I found out myself the xbox doesn't
    like this at all. My ISP doesnt support IPv6. When I would look at my connection on my xbox it would say IPv4 and IPv6. So O went into my router settings and sure enough my router was set to tunnel IPv4 to IPv6. I went through set to IPv4 only and it solved
    my problem. This causes a teredo error in your xbox.
    I'm not sure. How can I check if my router is tunneling it through Ipv4?

    Hello, ive only got an IPV4 address on my xbox.

    can i get an IPV6 as well?
    My Xbox is using only IPv4. What should I do to add IPv6?

    Several home routers support IPv6 but disable it by default. Check the manual for your router.

    My router has IPv6 enabled, but my Xbox is connected on IPv4. What else can I do?

    Try contacting your ISP to see if IPv6 is available in your area.

    how do i use IPv6 instead of IPv4

    IPv6 is not really needed in the household, but ISP's use ipv6 with ipv4 or just ipv6 externally, this is automatically done by the router so nothing to setup, if you want ipv6 inside the house then you need to access your router settings.

    If you have ipv6 assigned by your ISP then your xbox will see this.

    Hi Kevin. My name is Kyle and I’m an independent advisor.

    Your Xbox will automatically connect with IPv6 if your network supports it. There are some routers which support IPv6 but disable it by default, you may need to check your router settings to make sure it’s enabled.

    For help with checking your router settings, contact your router manufacturer or internet provider.
