Implications and requirements for enabling IPV6

2022-03-20 01:58:22

Model: Deco M9 Plus

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 1.2.12

From the Deco app, it seems to be straightforward to enable IPV6 and I've heard good things about IPV6. However, I want to make sure all the older devices will continue working with IPV4 without any issues. Here are some specific questions on top of my mind:

Will all Deco's be rebooting?

How to tell which devices run IPV6 and which ones don't?

Do you see speed gain across the board or only those that supports IPV6?

How about stability?

For those who have enabled IPV6, can you share your experience of any negative impacts that you've seen and any surprises or tips and tricks to overcome issues? It will be much appreciated. Have a good night!

@BenLin

Hi, here is some basic information for your reference:

Most internet service providers have IPV4 and IPV6 enabled at the same time so even some old devices did not work with IPV6 and they could still get IPV4 for internet access.

Will all Deco's be rebooting?

when you enabled IPV6 on the Deco, Deco will not reboot.

How to tell which devices run IPV6 and which ones don't?

You could tell from the IP addresses on the clients themselves.

Do you see speed gain across the board or only those that supports IPV6?

I will leave it to other users.

How about stability?

I think it would be as stable as IPV4.

Besides the above information, I noticed your firmware is 1.2.11 which is a little old since now the latest firmware has been 1.5.6.

And if possible, you could have a look at this link to update the firmware:

Thank you very much.
