Ipv6 wifi issues



I recently moved and got new internet service and ever since I've been having issues with the Wi-Fi on my phone. I have 300 mpbs internet service and so I expect my phone to scream through updates in seconds... But ever since the move apps like play store and google drive are slow as hell. So after trying everything I could find online I figure I'll ask for help.

I've narrowed the problem to IPv6 issues. At my old place I had Ipv6 working so I never had any issues. But now when I go to test my Ipv6 It's not working. I'm renting a modem/router from my isp. I know buying my equipment would probably be the easiest fix but that's not an option right now.

There is an option in the router configuration to disable dhcpv6 but that's not solving the issue. The test says I have an Ipv6 address but the dns does not resolve. I found an app on playstore called Ipv6 tool that disables it and my phones works after doing that but I'd love to figure out how to just get my Ipv6 to work. I'm going to exchange the router today to see if it's just the equipment. If anyone knows how to remedy my issue I'm all ears. If anyone is having issues like mine Ipv6 tool is a great temporary fix.
