Does Versa work in IPv4 or IPv6 networks?

[DaSpook]

I have questions regarding the connectivity in 2.4 GHz band WiFis:

1. Does WiFi of FitbitOS Devices (Ionic/ Versa) work in IPv6 only networks?

2. Is an IPv4/IPv6 mixed network OK to use the WiFi?

Kind regards

Ulli

Hi @DaSpook,

I had to set up a test on my network to see. Used the Ionic. The results I got were:

1. No, it didn't get a proper assignment on IPv6.

2. Yes, it worked, appeared to use v4 address.

Hope this helps. It's possible that my test was incorrectly performed, but that's what I experienced.

Great! Thank you @WavyDavey. I'll re-test that if my Versa arrives (hopefully on monday). More and more networks are going to be IPv6 only, so an IPv6 stack should become nessessary within the next years. IPv4 is technology from the last century 😉

It will be interesting the day that IPv4 falls off the map. Thankfully, both are supported on networks I use.

Please post back your results with the Versa. 🙂
