Urge Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hi coyote, I'm pretty sure most people run at IPv4 so you should be okay if that's what you're getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPv6 doesn’t offer any benefit to gaming either so best to stick with IPv4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollutionblues is correct above. Don't fall for the marketing - IPv6 doesn't impact your gameplay in any way, it's one big placebo effect. Since the vast majority of home networks run on IPv4 you should use IPv4. If you want to prove for yourself that it doesn't affect your connection, just think about what it actually is. ISP's ran our of numbers to use for their IPv4 format, so they came up with IPv6 which changed the number format and allowed for more IP addresses to be created. That's it folks!
