Switching to IPv6 from v4 on my OneX....

I'm
trying to figure out how to switch my Xbox to IPv6 instead of IPv4. Hardest part is, and lemme make this clear right away, I'm not looking for any pity or sympathy, but it's so hard to do this stuff now because i have SPMS/end stage Multiple Sclerosis, and
i get confused and lost very quickly. I used to be very computer and electronic device savy, now not so much. I feel dumb. But what should i do to get the best quality gaming i can get for my 50" UHD 4K LCD, and OneX? The simplest, and most straight forward
solutions will be very appreciated. I have a brand new 4K UHD HDMI 6.0 cable. A New CAT8 Ethernet cable (not being used, unless i need to just buy my own router for a direct connection) I know that's the best option, but can i just switch to the IPv6 easier
for better connection, and without spending more unnecessary loot?

Probably in the wrong area. Sorry, I'm clueless right now.

all my devices get an ipv6 address they just get a v4 and v6 address.. doest seem like they "prefer" ipv6. exapmple when i go to settings on the xb1 i can only set it to use a static ipv4 address.. shouldnt you be able to statically set a v6 address to.

Wifi or ethernet cable? also do you have IPv6? the only use for teredo is if you dont have IPv6... its a v4>v6 transition so you still get v6... but it sucks... even the guy that helped make teredo said its not great lol...

Oh well. Worth a try....

I'm tracking an issue with my console with regards to IPv6. After a recent update, every now and then I seem to lose IPv6 connectivity, and my system goes offline. IPv4 still seems to work, but because my network supports IPv6, my console refuses to go back online. It reports a IPv6 DHCP Teredo error (v6 tunning through a v4 network). Going offline then online again seems to be only way to fix it. But I'm having difficulty pinpointing where the issue is.

Console?

Router?

Internet Service provider?

Xbox Live?

VirginMedia (Modems/Gateways): how do i switch from ipv4 to ipv6?
IPv6 support was removed as part of the “upgrade” 🙁
