Model: Archer AX3200  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

So this protocol is for everything that connects to the router, not just router to internet?

That means everything in my house, TV, IP cameras, phones, Ipads, computers, 

range extenders, my magic jack, all have to be IPv6 ready and enabled, or they won't work?

  @Capes,

It CAN be. IPv6 is unique in that each device will have its own address - opening up the opportunity for what you are describing. While most devices now support IPv6, you may still come across devices that either don't play well or don't support it, especially if it is an older device.

 

For this reason, most routers will allow you to configure either the WAN for IPv6 (if your ISP supports it) or the LAN for IPv6 with devices:

So, I should set my ipv6 lan setting to slacc/stateless, as in the picture to have the router connect to all my devices in ipv4 or what ever they are capable of?

When I set the internet to ipv6, it then wants to set the settings for the ipv6 lan. But, there is no choice for ipv6 internet only?
