Disable IPv6 on your router to improve older device performance

bgr.com

Disabling IPv6 on routers may improve performance for some older devices, but it can also cause compatibility issues. Many older devices struggle with IPv6, leading to slow speeds or connection failures. Turning off IPv6 can resolve these specific problems, but may hinder access to IPv6-only networks or certain services. IPv6 offers enhanced security and efficiency, but slow adoption means many systems still rely on IPv4. Disabling IPv6 might prevent VPN leaks but also removes its built-in security features.
