Netflix also fully supports IPv6 now as well. It had several bugs with IP six until recently, and now Netflix fully functions on IP V6 on iPads, iPhones, Apple TVs, PlayStation’s, and Xbox ( providing it’s an Xbox One and PS 4)

The problem most people have had in the past and some people still may have today is that Sam ISPs will offer connectivity to the IP6 network but they failed to offer an IP6DNS server – normally this would not cause a problem if you rand IP4 an IP6 concurrently…because if you only got an IP6address then the device would only use IPV for

Also the main problem with IP6 enabled when your ISP does it fully support it or doesn’t support it all is that your router will tell your network that IP6 is enabled, but it will only generate local addresses and iTunes on Apple TV is have had problems with this because they will attempt to use that local Ip6 addy to access the Internet and it has no route to the IP6 Internet

If you really want IP6 to work flawlessly with Netflix and any other streaming services, the Apple TV downloading and streaming from Apple using IPv6 To Netflix, as well as the Apple TV streaming data from your iTunes computer – be it windows or OSX, you really need to have your router set up properly and your ISP set up properly to handle it and if they don’t there are some steps you can take

Best possible way is to have need of support for IP6 – no decent I SP should be running ISP to their clients via IP tunnel. 6 into 4. 4 into 6 etc…of those methods maybe is I designed to work, they are not very reliable or stable. you really need a native connection… And on top of having a native connection you really need to have your ISP support DHCP – PD …. This way your ISP hands your router, after it does router advertisement which is something you need to enable as well, and your router prefix and you can use any amount of addresses in the prefix they give you which is usually about 16 million…from Time Warner cable my prefix 2606:a000:121d:405f::/64. And I have one of two choices – either statefull or state less mode. In stateless mode no DHCP server is really needed..with the router advertising the prefix, every device in your network automatically configures itself and generates IP6 address, from the pool, and is not being used on your network… DNS information is typically supplied by the router and use the DNS system of your router itself – Other router brands will supply your clients with the DNS of your ISP ( usually you can always override this ) – with Time Warner I highly suggest not using their DNS servers because they are not IP6 compatible…by 2017, they will be..they will accept IPV6 traffic but will only return and IPV4 address..this only becomes a problem if you are running your IP6 and not IP4 for whatsoever..router is still going to get an IP4 for address no matter what, but some people choose to disable it DHCP server in order to run IP6

You can also run in state full mode, but this requires that enable DHCPv6n on your router, and if it does not support that, then you must run one yourself under Windows or Linux or OS X, or one of those operating systems in a virtual environment on your computer…in this mode you tell your router exactly what pool of addresses you want used… So if I were to run in that mode I could pick something like start 2606:a000:121d:405f::1000 end:2606:a000:121d:405f::2000… And believe me that is not 1000 IP address…The two ::’s in between the prefix and the very last set of 4 numbers is simply an abbreviation and it means that two more sets of four numbers belong there period so when you say I’m limiting my addresses from:: 1000 to 2000, you’re actually saying you are limiting it to a great deal of IP address a start/stop…. Even if I used ….. 405f::1 to 405f:2, I’d have more IPs than I’d know that to do with

If IPv6 is set up PROPERLY , as of 2016, it works FLAWLESSLY with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, anything that support IPv6. iOS devices to Apple TV AirPlay or from iTunes or Internet. Same with droid devices

In summary : IF IPV6 IS CAUSING U ISSUES IN 2016+, EITHER: 1) your isp doesn’t fully support it, they have it configured wrong, 2) u have an older router or older firmware that doesn’t work with it properly, 3) user error. Someone sets up IPv6 wrong….1 is the main issue with 3 almost the same. Rarely is it a router issue as IPv6 is 1000x easier to route as there is NO NAT. all you IP v6 devices are on exposed, open, public ip addresses (which is why your router NEEDS an IPv6 firewall. And it would be separate from the IPv4 one)..no more port forwarding or uPNP needed.

site to see if your IPv6 is configured properly period you should get at least 18/20. anything les you will have problems with IPV6. 18/20 usually means your browser defaults to IP4 and then falls back to IP6. to get 19/20 your browser needs to default to IP6 and fall back to IP 4 within a few milliseconds

20 out of 20 is nearly impossible as most ISPs have not set up reverse DNS entries for any of your IP6 addresses, but this is really not needed

Turning off IP6 only helps if you are not getting true I P6 addresses from your ISP. if you are not getting a NATIVE IPv6 connection then Netflix has issues or if u set up a private IPv6. Netflix it’s self does use the IP6 protocol, if you have it set up properly, and once it is set up properly Netflix performs 10 times better using IP6 versus ip4 for Internet streaming, streaming from iTunes, or streaming something from an iOS device to the ATV. Granted an Apple TV version two, three, four is required – version one of Apple TV does not support IP6

I’m talking about a mixed IP4 for an IP6 environment in my house. Every device gets a private IP version for address which has to use NAT translation, and every device also gets a public IP6 address and NO NAT translation is not needed..so you don’t have to configure any special ports or any special port forwarding and uPNP isn’t even needed.

I’ve also tested Netflix by completely disabling IP for in my home network and only girl I P6. Streaming, airplay, everything works for streaming video on any device – however 60% of the websites out there do not support IP6 and will not work in IP6 only environment period so I highly recommend running both side-by-side period but if you ISP does something funky like six and four, four and six, tunnelling to get IP6… All that stuff will cause massive issues with Netflix and other programs. You must have needed the IP6 support – preferably with DHCP – PD….

I’m pretty sure I turned mine off, yet somehow I managed to get kicked off the net again. Looks like I’ll have to call Apple after all.

I have Cox as well and started having this issue. They told me to call Apple to troubleshoot it and tell them I was a Cox customer. Their fix was to turn off IPv6.

I started having this issue today. My ISP (Cox) instructed me to call Apple. Their fix? Turn off IPv6…

I have Twc in Charlotte Nc, 350×50 , on an Asus rt-87u

IPv6 is set to native , DCHP-pd on, I can use stateless or statefull (doesn’t matter), dchpv6 enabled, router advertisement enabled. Full hardware acceleration on; CTF+AF. Firewall for v4 and v6 on.

Everything gets an IPv6 , all 3 iPhones (6S+)in my house, all 5 iPads (2 Pros, 2 Air2, 1 Air1) all on iOS 9.x. 3 ATVs (2 gen 3, 1 gen 2). All work fine with Netflix and AirPlay even if I shut off v4 and go pure v6 or v4 and v6

Most Apple mobile devices won’t show an IPv6 address, but if u see an IPv6 dns server in settings, u have a v4 and v6 addresses. iOS 9 defaults to v6 and fall backs to v4

Only ONLY ihome wifi AirPlay speaker has issues. It will crash when Netflix tries to use it but that’s ONLY after the update to make it fully iPad pro was done. Plus this speaker is IPv4 only.

I’ve had ZERO AirPlay issues be it from iTunes to ATV or IPad. Or AirPlay from iPhone/iPad to ATV. The ATVs seem to love v6, especially when streaming from the Internet

So I’m guessing iOS devices may be picky when using a non native v6 router setting. I do know they HATE IPv4 to 6 tunnel or 4in6 or 6in4..they like a REAL native IPv6 connection which any ISPs should be capable of by now. At least in USA/can.
