Should I enable IPv6 on my Netgear router?

Enable IPv6, yes. It has a number of benefits. Do not enable it if your modem has a Puma6, as most which Spectrum hands out have broken firmware which causes the modem to crash. If you use DSL Reports I would leave IPV6 disabled until they fix the IPV6 bugs on this website.

What is IPv6 DHCP PD?

You can use DHCPv6 prefix delegation to automate the delegation of IPv6 prefixes to the CPE. With prefix delegation, a delegating router (the BNG) delegates IPv6 prefixes to a requesting router (the CPE). The requesting router then uses the prefixes to assign global IP addresses to the devices on the subscriber LAN.

What does enable DHCP PD mean?

The prefix delegation feature lets a DHCP server assign prefixes chosen from a global pool to DHCP clients. The DHCP client can then configure an IPv6 address on its LAN interface using the prefix it received.

What is the best IPv6 connection type?

6rd is considered more reliable than 6to4 as the ISP explicitly maintains infrastructure to support tunneled IPv6 traffic over their IPv4 network. 6rd Prefix – The 6rd prefix and prefix length should be supplied by your ISP.

Should I use DHCP for IPv6?

When it comes time for your organization to start to implement IPv6 at your end-user LAN networks, then you should be using DHCPv6 on a legitimate DHCPv6 server. This change will also mean that your organization would want to have DHCP operate the same for both protocols.

What happen if I disable IPv6?

You lose access to IPv6-only websites (there aren’t that many) and a few networking management advantages of IPv6 will be lost. But unless your ISP is IPv6-only (which might happen if you’re in East Asia [China + neighbouring countries]) you should be fine. You can try and then enable IPv6 back on if you have issues.

Should I enable prefix delegation?

Prefix delegation is important because it’s one of the ways that internet service providers can provide enterprise customers with networks of their own. In turn, that allows for individual users to have uninterrupted access to the Internet and their network services.

What is IPv6 link local address?

IPv6 link-local addresses are addresses that can be used to communicate with nodes (hosts and routers) on an attached link. Packets with those addresses are not forwarded by routers. At least, they should not be. There have been cases where routers would happily forward packets with a link-local source address.
