![]() ![]() All of the Japanese internet providers offer free ‘v6 Plus’ or ‘IPoE’ or similar service options for connecting your home internet directly with IPv6. Completely eliminate all PPPoE connection on your home network if you want fast internet service in Japan. PPPoE is worthless because PPPoE/IPv4 in Japan is ‘tapped out’ and sits in a traffic jam on the local internet highway on-ramp while IPoE/IPv6 get priority and whizzes by on the IPv6 super highway.ĭo yourself a favor and do not waste time and money with any WiFi router that does not support DS-Lite/Map-E protocols and IPoE/IPv6 service. Fast internet connections in Japan use IPv6 but this means that your home router needs to encapsulate everything IPv4 in IPv6 before going out on the NTT internet backbone.Īny router that does not support IPoE/IPv6 on the internet in Japan does not get priority routing at crucial exchange points between local area lines, the ISP, and the NTT backbone. IPoE is also called IPv4 over IPv6 which means all IPv4 packets are encapsulated inside IPv6. ![]() Both DS-Lite and Map-E use IPv6 IPoE (IP over Ethernet) and replace the IPv4 only PPPoE connection protocol. The problem with Nest, error, Velop is the same one with the outdated Apple AirPort Extreme ( part 1, part 2): no support for DS-Lite and Map-E IPv6 protocols used by NTT FLETS. Velop and similar ‘mesh’ WiFi routers from Google Nest, Amazon erro et all are good products but I do not recommend any of them for WiFi use in Japan: they all lack support for the IPv6 protocols used by Japanese internet service providers (ISP) who use the NTT NGN backbone…basically everybody. Velop truly ‘just worked’ out of the box. ![]() All the WiFi dead spots were gone, my father can FaceTime wherever he wanders. When my father had WiFi problems in his apartment, too many dead spots for a decent FaceTime conversation unless he stayed tethered near his Comcast Xfinity WiFi box, I picked up a Linksys Velop mesh WiFi router set for him while in the USA.
