Help setting up Netgear router to Sky Hub for internet access with IPV6
I am trying to setup my Netgear router to connect to my Sky Hub for internet access using IPV6 instead of IPV4 to elimate double NAT problems.
The Sky Hub shows the router as being connected via IPV6, but if I disable IPV4 on the Netgear router I get no internet access and cannot access the Sky HUB settings. Any ideas anyone please?

I don't think messing about with IPv4 and IPv6 can avoid a double-NAT.

Any ideas on how to resolve the double NAT, as there is no Modem only option on the router?

@Mr+Wood correct no Sky hub has a modem mode. The solution is to connectvthe Netgear router directly to the line but you will lose Sky's Digital voice line. If you post which model Netgear router you have, whether you are in the UK or Ireland andcwhether your dervicecis full or partial fibre it should be possiblecto tell you if thst is possible.
