Xbox series s ipv6 not showing.

Hello, I have a problem with my xbox series s not connecting to network. After I tried to connect to it dhcp server not connecting and when I looked on network status it says my network is using ipv4 and it need to connect to ipv6. Does full system restore will fix the issue? My other devices does show both ipv4 and ipv6 and my net is hotspot sharing with mini iPad and I don't have router.

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.

iPv6 has nothing to do with your issues, all it is isn't an extension of the number of addresses available to the Internet because they were running out. It will not help you with your networking issues and you need to contact your Internet provider

not all Internet providers support ir and if you're connected to the Internet you don't need to worry about it.

I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you can still connect to the Xbox network. Then you will be fine.
