How do I enable IPv6 on my Sky router?

If you log in to the Sky Hub web interface, you should see it has a public IPv6 address in the “IPv6 Global Address” field, under Maintenance -> Broadband Port. This address should start with 2a02: Additionally, under Advanced -> LAN IP Setup, please ensure “Enable IPv6 on LAN Side” is ticked.

Should IPv6 firewall be enabled?

Activating the IPv6 firewall in your modem’s advanced settings is optional. When the firewall is activated, security on your network is enhanced, but some network functionality will be lost.

What does IPv6 connectivity mean?

Internet Protocol Version 6
Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is a network layer protocol which allows communication and data transfers to take place over the network. With wireless and network-attached devices increasing rapidly by the day, the internet will exhaust all unique IPv4 addresses at some point.

Should I enable IPv6 in router?

IPv6 is extremely important for the long-term health of the Internet. Switching from IPv4 to IPv6 will give the Internet a much larger pool of IP addresses. It should also allow every device to have its own public IP address, rather than be hidden behind a NAT router.

How do I fix no IPv6 connectivity?

How to Fix an IPv6 No Network Access Error

Restart the device.
Restart the router and modem.
Update the device’s operating system.
Check for network device driver updates (Windows).
Upgrade the router’s firmware.
Run the Windows Troubleshooter (Windows 10).

Is IPv6 a security risk?

First, the good news: IPv6 as a protocol suite isn’t inherently more or less secure than its predecessor. Just as with IPv4, the vast majority of security incidents arise from design and implementation issues rather than weaknesses in the underlying technology.

Should I disable IPv6?

Although it’s taken a long time for the adoption of IPv6 to get going, it isn’t a good idea to disable this network stack for the sake of convenience. After all, much of the IPv6 infrastructure is now in place and is extensively used. And disabling IPv6 can actually cause problems.
