jeremyg237 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 My current config is: ISP>Cable Modem>R7000(Nighthawk)>Netduma>XBOX. I also want to keep it this way, mostly because of the parental controls etc on the Nighthawk. My question is why am I getting IPv6 on Nighthawk and IPv4 on XBOX(Netduma). What settings should I use to get IPv6. Also Netduma is in the DMZ and IPv6 is on in Netduma settings. Any help with this would be appreciated.

You could swap the routers around and still get the parental controls to work as long as the nighthawk was in router mode. Then open up all ports by doing this: This would allow your xbox to get ipv6 addresses from the Netduma (which is completely useless anyway so I don't know why you want to do that) and still have the nighthawk for wifi and parental controls. It will assign it a different IP. So if your Netduma is default at 192.168.88.1 then the Nighthawk will go to 10.0.0.1 as to not interfere with each other.

Netduma Staff Netduma Jack Posted December 8, 2017 Netduma Staff Share Posted December 8, 2017 I read this article about IPv6. Also do not want to switch around routers. Have you tried configuring IPv6 on your modem at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmMoDBoX Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I read this article about IPv6. Also do not want to switch around routers. I read it too... I'm still waiting to see the benefits. Pretty sure this has been discussed here before too and nobody saw any difference on IPv6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyg237 Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 The question I am asking more than anything is what are the best settings for the setup I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 9, 2017 Administrators Share Posted December 9, 2017 Are there any devices connected to the Nighthawk? If so you won't be able to use the R1 Congestion Control and will lose out on a major feature that will improve your connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
