No IPv6 network access

[Leonbl]

I want IPv6 network acces because i need it for my internet subscription to reach higher MB/s but trying to enable network access to IPv6 just wont work. i've looked up forums and videos i tried to reset IPv6 in cmd i entered the ipconfig commands aswell, update drivers, reinstall drivers, disabled IP Helper and many more but everytime it ends up in disapointment i hope someone on this forum is able to help me.

PS: im using Windows 10

Whichever Internet Protocol (v4 or v6) you use will not affect your Internet speed.

 

If you ISP does not offer IPv6 support, you won't be able to use it.

IPv6 doesn't give you faster speed, not sure where you're getting that from

Unless your router has IPv6 enabled you won't have IPv6 network access

Maybe give us some information like your router model and who your ISP is?

Oh i thought that because my brother has 250 mb/s and i got 100 mb/s while we are connected to the same router with cable, do you have anything on that?

We need more information but it sounds like something is limiting your port to 100Mbps which could be the motherboard, cable, or router itself so if you can provide parts details and whatnot that would help narrow it down.

Are you sure your computer have a Gigabit Ethernet port or are you using an appropriate (Cat-5e and above, under 100 meter) cable?

There's many variables that affect your network speed.

I think its the cable its pretty old and my brother has a newer one, dont think its the motherboard (Asus Prime A320M-K)

And im pretty sure my PC has gigabit ethernet.

It indeed isn't the motherboard. Doing some research on it the motherboard has a Realtek® 8111H Gigabit LAN controller.

 

Check what cable you run, anything under cat5e isn't really sufficient in regular internet usage.

 

As said above neither ipv4 or ipv6 will determine your internet connection. The difference between them is that ipv4 can use 4.3 billion addresses and ipv6 can use 340 undecillion addresses.

I've got a cat5e cable i tried switching ports on the router but its still 100 mbs. Is there a way to configure the port settings? if yes tell me the location please.

Try to login to your routers firmware and see if there is a way to configure the ports speeds

I'm on the router firmware now and i see that my mbs speed is set to 100 and my brothers is set to 1000. But i cant find a way to change this, its probally me not seeing it. Do you know where i may look?

I've set de speed and duplex to 1gbps full duplex but the speed is still set to 100 mbs, do you think the cable has a defect?

You can try different cables. i don't think it was the cable but I want to see if its only one port that has the full duplex connections so try to switch your brothers and your port access and tell me what if you can get a better speed in the end.

When i use my brothers cable i get 250 mbs, i already ordered a new cable

Ethernet cables have generally 8 wires. Only 4 are needed for 100 Mbps, all 8 are needed to do Gigabit. My guess is one or more wires are damaged.
