> I cannot tell you how many devices or software have had a notice of "just disable IPV6, that will fix X" and it's worked perfectly.

I’ve heard this advice dozens of times, but it hasn’t worked once, to the point where I firmly believe that everyone giving out such advice either completely doesn’t care or know anything about networking, or, is suffering from some sort of a mental difficulty.

Eh, I disagree. There are ton of crappy consumer grade devices that claim to support IPv6 but there are obscure implementation issues and these same devices offer zero visibility into what the cause might be. Sure, a packet sniffer might explain some of it but the remedy may require adjustment to the device which abstracts all the IP config away. The situation sucks all around.

I support all kinds of devices and turning off IPv6 was sometimes a thing I did. No so much now. Maybe once in the last 5 years.
