Reviews around ipv6 (2.09 of 5)

  • I have tried reboots, changing channels, firmware upgrade, disabled IPv6, the list goes on
  • Oh, and if you don't get great 5Ghz performance, change the channel numbers and disable IPv6 on your interfaces
  • That I do like as I
  • After a lot of screwing around and a fair amount of research, it appears this has been a problem since 2015.For many, the solution is to disable IPV6.
  • In forums, Linksys tech support suggests to disable ipv6 through the router settings as a workaround to get parental controls functioning, but that didn't work with my router (and is an unwelcome capability limitation).
