Xfinity has completed work in our neighborhood, and it was quite confusing. They texted the work was completed; however, it was a disaster as everything was slow and my android tablet would not connect. After several calls without success to obtain a live agent, I was able to have diagnostics run, and everything is working fine. The resolution was the system is “catching up” and it will take several hours. At first, I only had IPv6 and not IPv4 and could not reach certain websites. Then miraculously things caught up. I rebooted the router again and everything seemed intact. I reset the tablet and was able to use it.
Several hours later, IPv6 dropped out. I have had this before when they were doing maintenance and my thought is to let it settle. They are in the area again tomorrow to do another section of our development, and I don’t want to go through the same thing again.
I know the IPv6 will come back, but here is my QUESTION: Do I really need it? I am a home user with just a laptop and tablet without devices on a network.
THOUGHTS?
