XBOX One: Setting up IPv6 - how it works

If your router and your Internet provider support IPv6, you can also set up and use the standard on your Xbox One. We'll show you how.

Set up IPv6 on Xbox One

1. First, press the Xbox button on the Xbox One controller.
2. In the "Settings" switch to the "All Settings" category.
3. Select "Network" here and then "Network Settings".
4. If IPv6 is used, you will see the message "IPv4 & IPv6" in the network status. The XBOX One automatically selects this connection if it is available.
5. If your Xbox One only uses IPv4, IPv6 may not have been activated in the router. So make up for this. Here you will find instructions for the FritzBox.
6. If the problem is not with the router, your Internet provider may have deactivated IPv6 or it is not available in your region. In this case, contact your provider.

In the next practical tip, we will show you how to activate IPv6 on your PC or Mac.
