I decided to enable IPv6 on my home network two days ago. My ISP said that "most service areas" and "most devices" they deployed supported IPv6 without giving any way to verify if my service area or modem supported IPv6. My ISP also didn't give enough information for actually configuring my router (e.g. the size of the prefix delegation). The only useful information I found about actually enabling IPv6 came from regular users on forums for the ISP and a different forum for my router. But I got it working. Once I found the 3 settings I had to change on my router, it worked without any problems, though so far, it's working without any perceived benefit also.
- kiwijamo 6y agoI had the same experience with my ISP--had to find out I was able to get IPv6 only through a local forum frequented by employees of various ISPs. Also had to find out settings through this--turned out that the default setting of getting IP address assignment etc through PPPoE they usually suggest is still assigning IPv4 addresses only but their BNGs will provide IPv4+6 if you switch to getting ip assignments through DHCP/IPoE. I am sure things will improve over time as IPv6 becomes a first class citizen.
