Hope you're doing great today Philip

Nowadays almost all routers and Devices supports IPv6 by default. The thing is if your ISP (internet service provider) offers IPv6 addresses in your area. You may need to double check this with them.

If yes, they should be able to configure it for you in the router. Once you did it the Xbox should use an IPv6 automatically.

Set to Instant On ..

IPv4 set to AUTOMATIC on XboX

IPv6 also dynamic via Router DHCP

Will look at router config to determine if I can set up static IPv6 route. CenturyLink instructions were specic, but Tech Support might provide more info if I ask specifically for static route

Hey chris,

Thanks again for posting. There are some instances in which the router or gateway that you are using needs to have IPv6 enabled through a setting called Teredo tunneling. You must log in to your router to find out if this setting is enabled. You can
find out how to log in to your router or gateway through the router's manual or support page. If you received your router or gateway from your internet service provider, you can reach out to their support team for assistance with enabling IPv6. Be sure to
let us know the results

You can only do that if your internet provider supports ipv6 and if your router supports it to. You should contact your internet provider to ask them if they support ipv6 and how to change to ipv6 if they support it.

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?
