Newbie IPV6

[jasons693071]

Hi guys,

All up and running, however i am using my Netgear RS300 router and i have found the log in details to connect to the internet.

Trouble i am having is the lack of IPV6 for some reason.

IPV6 is set up to on the Netgear to connect via PPPoe and to use the same login details as IPV4 which is what worked on the previous provider but i am not getting an IP from EE.

Anything else i should be doing?

Cheers!

@AHarMan2 Take it you edited the picture and hid all the IP etc, as it may still not get through!

Hi Jim

Thanks for the sanity check. I can confirm the picture was taken in 2024 and there are no IP addresses, only DNS servers for IPV6 (which are not relevant to my current ipv6 address or ipv4 etc.)

I just thought id share it because at the time there was no guidance or feedback on how to get IPV6 to work. IPV4 worked out the gate but the TP Link router needed manual configuration.

Many thanks for sharing your settings @jasons693071 

To be honest my understanding is that BT/EE IPv4 settings are essentially used as a "letterbox" for IPv6, so I'm hoping to replicate the current settings and not have to resort to using other IPv6 servers like cloudfare. That's just my simplified thought process at this current stage.

I've seen on other threads that some experience slower speeds when using some configurations of IPv6. Have you seen that?

I'll probably have my next play on a weekend when no-one's working from home, and will feedback then.

Thanks again to all that have contributed.

Thanks for posting this @AHarMan2 

From other posts it would seem that IPv6 settings can be slightly different based on manufacturer, but it all helps me understand better.

Must admit i havent tried it without IPV6 enabled.

Out of interest, why are you trying to replicate the current EE settings?

Cloudfare of even Google should give you  better performance overall with IPV4 or 6.
