How to change Ipv6 DNS server manually?

Hello, I am using ipv6 with comcast through a direct connection to my modem. It is automatically giving me there ipv6 addresses. There are certain issues with it however and I need to change it to googles public ipv6 server. I go to network and settings,
choose Dns server manual. The problem is it only lets me input a ipv4 address. Is there any way around this? Thank you in advance.

Xbox One Downloading Games Much Slower Than Network Speed

Hi guys,

Thanks for the responses, managed to fix it.

My router had assigned my Xbox One a IPv6 primary DNS even though the router itself had IPv6 connections disabled. I was unable to change the DNS setting on the console as it kept reverting to the IPv6 DNS so had to go into my router using TelNet and make
a few changes using that to redisable the IPv6.

Xbox One now has the IPv4 DNS servers and is now working much quicker.

 

I can not change this primary DNS:fe80::ea08:8bff:fe31:9232%3

Hi CrabbierAtol734,

Sounds like you're console is trying to use your router for DNS which is probably IPv6. I could be wrong and this could be a public address, but in most cases it's the same as your gateway. What error do you get when you try to change your DNS? Are you
trying to put a public DNS server in place of this? A little more info would help. Also if you don't like your ISP DNS settings, you can likely change this in your router. Routers are not really DNS servers, and just relay info off other servers. So, your
router likely has a setting for the DNS it looks to at resolving DNS. There you can change your DNS to another public DNS server, and it won't look at the ISP's servers for resolution.

 

Is there a way to put your ivp6 address in manually?

 

Nope, not that I can find :/ An update is needed.

 

Only way to get around it for now that I know of - don't direct connect to your cable modem but instead place a router capable of working with IPV4 and IPV6 and then change the DNS settings for the WAN ports there.

I have comcast myself and yes their IPV6 DNS servers are not ready for prime time. Test performed using theirs mostly fail, while using googles Public iPV6 DNS servers always pass.

So, what I did - though the router will receive it's Public IP's (IPV4 and IPV6) and the DNS Servers to use. I instead changed the DNS settings from Auto to Manual - Manually adding Googles DNS Servers for both IPV4 and IPV6 but leaving the Actual Addressing
set to auto for both IPV4 and IPV6.

Thus: Anything DHCPing from my router (which acts as a DNS Forwarder) will receive and IP Address for my network along with the Routers IP Address as the DNS Server. Noted on my XBOX ONE that my Primary DNS Server is in an IPV6 Format and it's set to my
Routers Local IP Address. So what happens now AND DNS Requests will now pass DNS thru the router to what it was told to use as DNS servers which are now Googles Public DNS servers for both IPV4 and IPV6.

Problem solved.
