IPv6 support


Recommended Posts

Another thing to keep in mind that even though a website may return IPv6 addresses in DNS, the DNS servers that the website itself uses may be v4 only. This isn't a problem now, but could be in the future if we start having Internet connections that only have v6 addresses.

The first site in the list (cybermod) will only load if you have IPv6 on the device that is trying to load it.  That site itself is an example of an IPv6 only site.  You must not have a working IPv6 path to the internet on your home computer.  I suggest you go to: http://test-ipv6.com and test your computer to see if it has both IPv4 and IPv6 stacks running with connectivity to the internet.

ahhh well i guess time warner does not use IPv6 then. its weird because we are upgraded to DOCSIS 3.0 and i know for a fact that supports v6. perhaps its the DNS server they use? ive never changed it before.

I have TWC and they definitely support IPv6. You'll have to get a router that supports it/turn it on in your router's settings but it is there.

I am connected straight to my Motorola modem and there is nothing in my modems control panel about IPv6.

 

I don't think it's supposed to say on the modem's page. Which modem are you using?

Interesting, my Nexus 6 is still IPv4 only. I wonder if IPv6 would work if I edited the APN... Unfortunately 5.1.1 took away the ability to view or edit the APN with a Sprint SIM inserted (though I could probably edit the db manually).

 

Does the S6 edge let you view the APN that's being used? I'm also curious what happens if you drop to 3G.

OK, so you lose IPv6 on 3G, which was what I suspected.

 

If you tap on that APN, it should list a bunch of stuff (it's greyed out so you can't edit it), one of which is APN protocol. Does it say IPv4, IPv6, or IPv4/IPv6 in that field?

AT&T and T-Mobile LTE are not using IPV6 for me.

T-Mobile has their APN set to use IPv6 by default on newer devices. You can change the APN and it'll work (set it to IPv6, not IPv4/IPv6). Some things may be faster since it won't have to go through their carrier grade NAT.

No IPv6 here.

So I suspect that it can be "forced" by editing the APN. But I'm not sure if that is necessarily a good thing. It'll mean anything using IPv6 (Google for example) will need to re-establish a connection upon dropping to 3G. If Google Play Services, for example, doesn't know it lost IPv6, then it could delay push notifications for several minutes until the heartbeat times out.

IPv6 was just turned on in San Francisco

Actually, it seems to be phone specific. My Nexus 6P gets an IPv6 address, but my partner's Galaxy S5 does not.

    • Has anyone checked Verizon n77 in areas with more than 100MHZ active? This spectrum has been fully available since August of last year.  Of course they are not typically using SA.
    • I updated my other s21 ultra factory unlocked to the latest firmware... It behaves like the S24 Ultra n38 or n41 depending on 80 or 100MHz or their nr- arfcn.
    • I see everything correct. The two ARFCN's you mentioned earlier and they idenitify as n-41.  using 4.832b SCP. Only using one TM SIM.
    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
    • Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.
