So, a common home setup is to plug a fancy router behind the ISPs useless modem router.
What happens is, IPv4 works out of the box. IPv6 doesn't work, because the fancy router doesn't get a big enough subnet from the useless ISP modem.
- SAI_Peregrinus 5y agoMy piece of shit useless ISP modem/router (from Spectrum, one step sideways from Comcast in quality) supports IPv6 out of the box. 0 effort. Getting it to stay working for an entire week without a reboot? Seems to be impossible. But IPv6 just works.
- kaetemi 5y agoYeah. My useless ISP router supports it as well here. But it doesn't work when there's a second router in between. Something to do with Prefix Delegation not working, supposedly. And the ISP router by itself has zero controls for IPv4 DHCP, and so on, so it's absolutely useless by itself.
- withinboredom 5y agoMy ISP just rolled out IPv6 a couple of weeks ago. I was pretty excited until I learned WSL2 doesn’t support IPv6.
