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

can i get an IPV6 as well?

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.

Are you using a wired or wireless to connect to your router?

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you want to add IPv6 on the Xbox.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please check your ISP support for IPv6 because not all ISPs support IPv6. Visit your ISP’s website.

And then check your router compatibilit by logging into your router’s admin panel. Look for IPv6 settings under the network configuration tab.

If your router supports IPv6, enable it and ensure it's set to Automatic (DHCPv6) or Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC). Save and reboot the router.

Next is to enable IPv6 on Xbox. Press the Xbox button on your controller.

Navigate to Settings > General > Network Settings. Select Advanced Settings.

Look for an IPv6 Connectivity option. If IPv6 is active, it will show as "Enabled."

Then power cycle your modem, router, and Xbox. Turn them off for about 5 minutes, then turn them back on in this order: modem > router > Xbox.

Thank you for your cooperation.

It might be that your ISP is using IPv6 and tunneling IPv4 via CG-NAT and DS-Lite.

While IPv6 is generally a Good Thing to have (as the Xbox One primarily uses IPv6, and even if you only have IPv4, it will use IPv6 tunneled through IPv4), you might want to check with your ISP if they offer you a "Dual Stack" connection with IPv6 and a
real public IPv4 in parallel.

There really isn't much you can do on the console itself, as it does check automatically what IP protocol your ISP provides, and if it's IPv6, then the console will use IPv6. If it's a Dual Stack, where you have IPv4 natively (not tunneled through IPv6)
and IPv6, then the console will use both, and if it's an IPv4 connection, it'll tunnel IPv6 through IPv4 through Teredo.

Hi Mister Beep,

what do you mean with:

"but it should work if your public IPv6 network is internally handing out IPv4."

If I have IPv6 my internal Network will not have IPv4? So it will not work if my xbox one gets an IPv6 IP Adress also internally?
