Hey there!

Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, a fellow gamer. I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I am here to help.

If I may ask, may I know which platform device are we referring to here, is it on Windows PC or Xbox console?

If it's on console, to switch from IPv4 to IPv6 on Xbox Series X, you can follow these steps:

On your Xbox Series X, go to Settings.

Select Network.

Select Advanced Settings.

Select IP settings.

Change the "IPv6" setting from "Automatic" to "Manual."

Enter your IPv6 address, subnet prefix length, and default gateway information provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Save your changes.

Note that not all ISPs support IPv6, so you may need to contact your ISP to confirm if they do and obtain the necessary information to set it up on your Xbox Series X.

Thank you for your time. I hope you have a great day!

Good morning

There could be several reasons why your Xbox Series S is not using IPv6, even though your Xbox One is.

Here are a few possible explanations:

IPv6 may not be enabled on your router's LAN settings. Although your Xbox One is able to use IPv6, it's possible that your router's LAN settings are not configured to use IPv6 by default. This could be the reason why your Xbox Series S is not able to use IPv6.

Your ISP may not support IPv6. Even if your router is configured to use IPv6, your ISP may not support it. If this is the case, your Xbox Series S will not be able to use IPv6.

Your Xbox Series S may not be configured to use IPv6. It's possible that your Xbox Series S is not configured to use IPv6 by default. To check this, go to the network settings on your Xbox Series S and make sure that IPv6 is enabled.

Your network cable may not be capable of supporting IPv6. It's possible that your network cable is not capable of supporting IPv6. If this is the case, you will need to replace your network cable with one that is capable of supporting IPv6.

Your Xbox Series S may not be getting an IPv6 address from your router. Even if IPv6 is enabled on your router, your Xbox Series S may not be getting an IPv6 address from your router. To check this, go to the network settings on your Xbox Series S and check if an IPv6 address is assigned.

I recommend checking these possibilities to try to identify the cause of the issue. You may also want to contact your ISP or the manufacturer of your router or Xbox Series S for further assistance.

Hi M B.

My name is Mauro and I am happy to help you.

For your Xbox console to connect to the Internet using IPv6, your home router must have IPv6 enabled and your Internet Service Provider (ISP) must support IPv6. If your ISP has already unblocked it, you need to check your router settings and make changes needed so it can switch to IPV6 To change it from the console:

1. On the Xbox Series X console, go to Settings.
2. Select Network.
3. Select Advanced Settings.
4. Select IP Settings. Change the "IPv6" setting from "Automatic" to "Manual". Enter the IPv6 address, subnet prefix length, and default gateway information provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
5. Save your changes.

Thanks Mauro

I want to set it up for my Xbox Series X, I've loaded up the Hub 4 settings and there doesn't seem to be anyway to enable IPv6, which seems odd for a brand new router
