Until someone figures out a way to make designing, building, and operating IPv6 devices and networks cheaper than what we already have running on IPv4, nothing much is going to change.

I’ve been adding more and more matter/thread devices to my home and since I’ve seen more local ipv6 addresses I’ve tried enabling Ipv6 fully. BUT, Ive had struggles adding matter devices.
Is this just older hardware choices like we have to create a 2.4 GHz only network? Is the world of devices not yet ready for IPv6? What are your thoughts on it?

I had no idea what is a matter/thread device. Google found a few explanations. Gotta say those are really stupid names and already used by philosophers and OS developers for much more important things. No matter. You remind me that I had a web page that I had forgotten about that recounts my experience with IPv6. Bottom line tldr: It works. I'm not surprised that matter/threads doesn't. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is no more reliable than magic." Fortunately, I don't care. I like switches that click and turn the power off and on when you push them. -- Keith PS: Where does the IPv5 Users Group meet?
