IPV6

I've recently upgraded to FTTP and have digital voice.  I'm looking at getting an IPV6e router, will digital voice still work through a non-BT router?

No it will not, authentication and the DECT base station are part of the smart hub 2.

The SH2 supports IPv6

[tmarsh12345]

Yes but likely not 6e?

[licquorice]

IPv6e being?

Never heard of it.

What Is Wi-Fi 6E?

Wi-Fi 6 and previous generations of Wi-Fi use the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. A “Wi-Fi 6E” device is one that is capable of operating on the 6 GHz band, too.

The 6 GHz spectrum should work similarly to WiFi 6 over 5 GHz but offers additional non-overlapping channels. As the Wi-Fi Alliance puts it, Wi-Fi 6E allows for “14 additional 80 MHz channels and 7 additional 160 MHz channels.” These channels wouldn’t overlap with each other, which will help reduce congestion, particularly in areas where lots of networks are operating.

So absolutely nothing to do with IPv6 at all!!!!

I'm asking if I can have digital voice if I buy an IPV 6e router.

No you're not, you're talking about Wifi6, not IPv6 which is something entirely different.

Sorry, I meant wifi 6e.
