Yeah, IPv6 is pretty important. I only have a few ESP8266 around the house and my DHCP pool is getting rapidly depleted...


You must have a lot of ESP8266 to deplete ~256^3 ips.


My home router can't really do more than about 100ish IPs.


Sounds more like time to get a new router vs changing all of your internal home network to ipv6


How is switching to IPv6 going to fix that problem?


The router won't have to hold a NAT table for ipv6 devices, just relay router announcements.


Maybe ipv6 slaac would help compared to dhcp. Not by much, but maybe a bit
