![]() ![]() I don't know whether Spectrum's Gigabit service uses different DNS servers. It does work OK with IPv6 with Spectrum's 300 Mbps Internet service, but you have to use the Google DNS servers if you want to avoid using Spectrum's dual stack arrangement.since Spectrum does not provide IPv6 server numbers to use with their service. So, you need to clarify how you have the AirPort set up if you want to continue with this discussion.Īs far as recommending an IPv6 router, I only recommend products that I have used.and I use an AirPort Extreme. If the AirPort is set up as a DHCP and NAT router, the maximum Internet speed connection that it can ever deliver on average is about 350 Mbps. We assumed that you were using the AirPort as a router.not a bridge. No way that the AirPort can ever approach these types of speeds unless you are running it in Bridge Mode.not as a router. I have achieved 850 mbits/sec transfers across the WAN port to wifi with these routers. ![]() If you have an alternative router to suggest that matches or exceeds the capabilities of the Airport Extreme please let me know.Īs for the comments on performance, the Airport is one of the few routers that has a gigabit WAN port. And the Linksys LRT224 also fails to work with native IPv6 on the Spectrum Gig service. Other routers such as the Linksys LRT224 which has dual gigabit WAN ports maxes out at 650 mbits/sec with wired connections. I can achieve the full 920 mbit/sec with a wired LAN device across the WAN when using IPv4. ![]() The latest Google mesh wifi routers do not support the same level of IPv6 functionality as the Airport Extreme.Īs for the comments on performance, the Airport is one of the few routers that has a gigabit WAN port. Everything from native IPv6 DHCPv6 with delegation to 6to4 tunnels to 6in4 tunnels. The Airport Extreme 6 while old is one of the few consumer routers on the market that support the full range of IPv6 options. have included working IPv6 going back to the early 00s. ![]() Government purchases which is why all versions of macOS, Windows, Linux, Solaris, etc. It has been more than a decade since IPv6 was mandatory for all U.S. While I appreciate the reply, IPv6 is much older than you believe. This is honestly the first time I've ever had a problem with an Apple networking device though, so I'd prefer to just fix it.Device models:Apple Airport Extreme AC 6th Gen (ME918LL/A)Apple Airport Express N (MC414LL/A)Apple Airport Extreme N (MC340LL/A) (Old router. I have upgraded the firmware on both devices.I have reset both devices and set them up from scratch again.I have disabled IPv6 because I saw another forum post which suggested this.Any other ideas?My only thoughts are that I may have to go back to my older Wireless N Airport Extreme and when I'm ready to make the leap to Wireless AC, go with a different brand of router. When I unplug the Airport Express's Ethernet connection, the network speeds return to normal. I should be getting download speeds around 150Mbps, but as soon as I plug in the Airport Express my download speed drops sometimes as low as 0.6Mbps and my internet becomes essentially unusable. Ever since doing so, my network essentially crashes when I try to extend the network. The devices were connected with about a 150ft run of Cat 6 Ethernet and my network functioned properly.I decided to upgrade to a newer Airport Extreme with Wireless AC because more and more of my devices are AC compatible. Network issue when extending Airport Extreme I previously was using a somewhat older Airport Extreme Wireless N router, and extending to my garage with an Airport Express. ![]()
