Everything seems fine, but I have no network access 😅 happened after I restarted for a System update. Can’t figure out what is wrong - help please 😊 Wired connection.

Enabled Wifi, but same problem; connect but cannot reach gateway. (other computers and pads are connected, and they work fine).

    I want to use IPv6 so badly, but every time I try I’m thwarted, have occasionally lost network connection as a result, and frequently just get a really unreliable connection.

    At first, in our last house, I tracked it down to the network provider (Verizon, a decade ago). This time, I don’t know what it is; theoretically Comcast supports it, as does Mullvad, and OpenWRT certainly does, so I have no idea where the issue is. But a couple of months ago I did a system upgrade and v6 got re-enabled in sysconfig and I lost internet, and it took me forever to track it down.

    At this point, I’m starting to believe there’s a conspiracy keeping IPv6 from succeeding (in becoming common), because when I read stuff like this I realize it’s not just my curse.
