Hi - Sorry to be a complete noob but I decided to try Cloudflare DNS servers and all seems fine but despite a fair amount of Googling IPV6 is confusing me.

I cannot find what to enter into the "PREFIX" field.

I also have no idea if trying to configure IPV6 is a complete waste of time (I'm with Spark)

The other options in my router for IPV6 "Configuration" are -

"Auto-Configure DNS"

"Auto-Configure Subnet"

"Manual" What I'm trying to do.

I've configured IPV4 as usual no problems just entered the server addresses.

Sorry, I edited my previous post as it was not relevant.

Currently Spark doesn't offer IPv6 service, regardless of which DNS you use.

Thanks for replying it was difficult to get confirmation of that one simple thing -

I Googled "Spark IPV6" and some variations but couldn't find any recent relevant results.
