: Why won't this work??? IPv6

Even if the router supports IPv6, unless your ISP supports it, IPv6 won't be available to your XBOX I'm afraid.

...But Open vs. Moderate vs. Strict won't be an issue anymore with IPv6 because it doesn't even use NAT.

While you are correct, that IPv6 will eliminate the NAT problems, the Xbox currently is not (yet) IPv6 capable. Maybe a future dashboard update will bring IPv6 capability, but until then you need to continue using IPv4 and IPv6 in parallel in your residence.

Hi KevinHughes43

Just to add to what Boombaa said, IPv4 and IPv6 work together. You home router and Internet service provider will issue an address for both on your network. IPv6 also works differently on a network, as your devices can use it's own 'stateless' address.

Also, not all services on the internet support the new protocol, this why both are being used at the same time. And just for the record, IPv6 does not make your internet any quicker.

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.

Thanks for your reply.

My ISP supports IPv6 in my area. It works just fine.

My Router also supports IPv6 and the Teredo filter is disable (IPv6 isn't disabled).
