How to activate ipv6 on your local machine and mobile devices

Hi,

we noted that many problems were caused by deactivated IPv6 network interfaces, please make sure to activate those on ALL devices: your local machine, mobile devices and the router(s) of your network:

On Windows:
Go to: Settings -> “Wifi/Ethernet” -> “Change adapter options”. right click on your current network interface -> “Properties” and enable Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)

on Mac:
go to: Settings -> Network and select your current adapter. Click “Advanced” and set “Configure IPv6” to “Automatically”.

Please restart your machine thereafter.

On iOS, IPv6 is always activated.

On Android you can turn on IPv6 in the Network & Internet Settings.

How to enable ipv6 on your router? - follow the instructions of your router.

Best

Thanks for sharing this info. I can confirm this solved my problem of connecting Android to mac v1554. I setup ip6 on the mac then the connection was made.
