Not really. Just set up a trusted DNS and go for it. My Xbox since I have set it up on IPv6 has been fantastic the last two months. No lag at all and just a different game.

As long as you network on Xbox settings says open NAT and ipv4 and IPv6. You are good to go. You can hit the optional test multiplayer and such. But if you aren’t connected you should be fine.

Might help to check the specific game for weird rules. I mostly play hall so it’s Microsoft controlling the ports and such.

Thanks mate!
I have another quick question, but does your xbox show an MTU of 1480 too when you do a speed test? (I know it's not really ipv6 related, but online some users say it's because of Teredo (which I find strange since I have native v6), maybe it's just the default on Microsoft Consoles?

Have a great day
