IPv6 not working

Recommended Posts

I am located in Dubai and when I have my ISP default router plugged in, my xbox connects via IPv6 & IPv4 and has an open NAT with no connectivity issues.

However, with the Netduma R3, my xbox only connects via IPv4. NAT type is also strict even with uPnP enabled. I have also tried putting the xbox in DMZ and also manually port forwarding with no luck (separate to IPv6 query).

IPv6 appears to be enabled on the R3 both in the WAN and LAN sections. Is there anything else I need to do/configure to get IPv6 working properly on my network? I'm more focused on this rather than my NAT type. I am running the latest firmware (v4.0.236) - I understand there was supposed to have been improvements with IPv6 on this.

Some pictures of my xbox advanced settings when connected with the Etisalat default router vs the Netduma R3 for reference:

The R3 is connected straight to the modem when I have it plugged in. I unplug the Etisalat router when using the R3.

The screenshots provided there was for local IPs, in which IPv6 isn't required for LAN devices to have IPv6 being used - when you go on Network and it shows current network status on the right, what does it show there?

When using the Netduma it shows as per attachment below.

When I use the Etisalat default router it shows IPv4 & IPv6 and has Open NAT type.

You shouldn't be getting strict NAT if the R3 is directly connected to the wall/ONT. Could you do the method at the bottom of this guide and let me know the result please? https://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000076587-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-open-nat

There was just one line in the response of the CG-NAT test.

I am more concerned with why IPv6 is not working? My understanding from the Xbox website is that if the console is connected via IPv6 then the NAT is irrelevant?

Even at one point when it was saying my NAT type was open a month or so ago using the R3, my wife was unable to connect to Disney dreamlight servers. As soon as I switch out the R3 for the Etisalat router - it connects fine.

Hi @Netduma Fraser, thanks for adding me to early access. I have updated to the latest firmware (v4.0.261), ensured IPv6 is enabled and also done a reboot. However, there unfortunately doesn't appear to be any change.

Thanks Fraser - that worked! The Xbox now shows IPv4 & IPv6 with open NAT.

Weirdly enough, my wife still can't connect to the Disney Dreamlight Valley servers. There seems to be widespread issues with this when I google it with people saying they have to hotspot from mobile etc to connect to the servers. Can you think what could be causing this (i.e. some internal firewall or something on the Netduma/some routers)? It connects fine with the Etisalat router for example. I was sure getting the open NAT and IPv6 would solve it but apparently not.

Great to hear that! The initial things that spring to mind would be if it was added to the Geo-Filter, the other is Adblocker could potentially block it so try disabling that.
