Xbox how to enable IPv6 ( isp has it router enabled)

IPV6 has to be supported by your router and your ISP. IPV6 is already built into Xbox and when it detects it you're set.

Comcast is my ISP and their network supports IPV6.

I have a netgear router that supports IPV6 and it's just a matter of logging in to the router and enabling the IPV6 feature.

Is this Xbox or PC?

Does your ISP make IPV6 available? There are still quite a few that only offer IPV4

Is IPV6 enabled on your router? Apparently some routers have it disabled by default and so it needs enabling within the router settings.... the router manual should tell you how.

Hello James,

If your router has IPv6 enabled, but your xbox is connected to IPv4, try contacting your ISP to see if IPv6 is available in your area.

For Xbox One to connect to the internet using IPv6, your home router needs to have IPv6 enabled, and your internet service provider (ISP) must support IPv6.

Is your router a Netgear as well or is it from your ISP? If it is a Netgear here is a link to the steps to enable IPv6.

If the router is from your ISP then you should contact them to get assistance in changing it if you can't do it form the Admin on your network.

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.
