Ipv4 addresses will run out in a matter of weeks.
Which makes the question when will archos support ipv6 a little more important.
Check it out about a month ago there were only 325,000 ipv4 addresses left. They reckoned there was only a month left then.
Just thought a heads up would be handy.

Not really. At what point will your tablet need a routable external address? As long as your router can handle it, your internal addresses will continue to work.
Errrr yes but new websites for companies will also have ipv6 addresses allocated won't they so if DNS returns an ipv6 address will your tablet not need to handle it?
I don't know the ins and outs so just asking a silly question that springs to mind.

You've got a couple of years before that happens. IANA has assigned all the ranges to regional distribution, but they will be able to allocate addresses for a while, in addition to companies buying ranges from each other as needed. Some mobile telecoms can switch to NAT and sell huge blocks of IPv4 as well.
By then, your home router will have been updated to 802.11ac (1Gb/s wireless) with ipv6 support, your cable/whatever box will have ipv6 firmware, and you'll be looking at buying a new tablet running Nvidia's STARK chipset anyway.
I totally agree with macemoneta
Thanks guys had thought from thing I read all reigonal ones were used up not that they were allocated.
Cheers for explaining.

Your sarcasm is trivialising the problem and confusing it with DNS . This isn't about websites, it's about access and freedom of access. The ubiquity of mobile devices, home always on broadband and other smart devices, coupled with growth in the developing and emerging markets means that what capacity is left in the regional internet registries is going to go quickly. We could rapidly run into a two tier Internet, those who have free access to IPv4 ranges and those who don't. We're only 12 months or so away from the regional's running out of capacity. ISP's have had nearly 20 years to sort out IPv6 infrastructure, they haven't. If you look at home router devices, mobile phones most of them aren't IPv6 compatible. I sat down with a university lecturer in networks and we went through some of the main smartphones that exist this year; no IPv6 support. The last router my ISP sent me; no IPv6 support. Their one of the largest providers in the UK and their network doesn't have backhaul IPv6 support! So in the absence of ISP's having implemented this, you (we) could all see costs rise as they start to play last minute catch up, they could even see price rises because of IPv4 use.

Again, even if all public addresses changed to ip6 tonight, it wouldn't make much of a difference except for the routers. Right now in your company and in most of your homes, your devices all send out data through a single IP address. Lets call it 63.48.116.89 - which is an addresses that can be routed through the internet. Yet the IP address given to your computers, cell phones, tablets, etc is something like 192.168.1.10 or 10.0.0.10 - which are addresses that can't be routed through the internet. Your router does something called address translation (or network address translation if you want to go nuts with terminology) so when you send out a packet it gets wrapped up to look like it is coming from that 63.48.116.89 address allowing it to go all over the wonderful internets. When you get a return packet it is sent to 63.48.116.89 and then converted to whatever your private address is like 192.168.1.10 so your machine/device gets it. So if the public addresses are all ip6, it won't matter because your ip4 devices will still work as long as your router can handle the translation. So yeah, you might need to upgrade your router/cable modem/DSL modem/4G modem.
@ExploreMN correct, and even if your are online with a mobile phone, your mobile phone ISP gives you a "local" ip address, so he can do NAT too. no need for new smartphones/tablets
Think the point was most routers or devices are not set up for ipv6 and either are the isp's so it could end up pushing up costs a lot.
C:Amie - 2011-02-06 10:28 AM
Long time no see.
'free access' as in freedom, not free commerce.
Without IPv4 addresses you cannot route between IPv6 and the IPv4 Internet. So as an ISP you couldn't really setup service as relatively few web servers run on globaly routable IPv6. This is because most IPS's don't offer IPv6 services yet, so you can't IPv6 up your server :. an endless cycle of nothing happening a la the last 20 years.
In order to register to receive your own IPv4 or IPv6 net ranges, you have to become a member of IANA or your regional internet registry. This is cost prohibitive at €3000 a quarter plus €50 for every single block registration.

Anyone use tethering to download too much data and had repercussions from T-Mobile? I'm just wondering if/how much I should limit my bandwidth use. Use tethering frequently on the train and such.
After 5gb of data you will likely get throttled to EDGE-only speed. You will receive a message from TMO if this happens. If you are just checking email, chat, facebook, etc it is highly unlikely you will kill your 5gb.
I just recieved the text message yesterday and I have to say the speed that they throttle you down to renederd my laptop practically useless. Even just trying to log into Yahoo my browser timed out. Just FYI.
How much bandwidth did you use? I was up to 2.3 gigabyte last month.

its not even EDGE speeds. more like a little bit better than GPRS speeds around 50-59kbps. my edge speeds is almost triple this and my 3g speeds peak at 5.3mbps at night and 3-4mbps during day
to OP- Tmobile used to allows 10GB of bandwidth but now its cut to half to 5GB which can be easily used up by tethering,but then again tethering using USB in settings, MobileAP, or an app like EasyTether and PDAnet is not covered in the contract and actually goes against the terms of use
Of course, most probably already know tethering is expressly forbidden by the terms and conditions for most (if not all) contracts with TMO. While they've cast a blind eye to in the past, this is changing.
Beginning Nov 3, TMO will offer a $15 Tethering option which is less expensive than other carriers. Each activated IMEI (phone serial) will get no more than one IP address. All tethered data will count toward your 5GB monthly limit. Like other carriers, your monthly data cap doesn't increase just because you pay more. Unlike other carriers though, you will NOT be charged overage fees unless perhaps you somehow manage to tether without a proper plan in place.
The DHCP pool which currently assigns / allows acquiring of the additional addresses for any tethered devices that you may be using will be limited to just "one" address. In order to tether after this change, you'll require a minimum of 2 IP addresses. This limitation will only be officially lifted upon adding a monthly paid tethering plan to your account. Being rooted or on an unoffical rom likely won't change this as it'll all be controlled by the TMO's network hardware which is out of our reach.
Update to reply to the post by 2000nits below...
That assumes that TMO won't modify the normal operation it's APN gateway to prevent Private DHCP then tethering as we know it might not be possible. Then, you'd be forced to get your addresses from their DHCP server alone.
Yeap . this is a sad sad day for tmob...
I am going to look for a better carrier ./ option
I can get Virgin mobile wifi unlimited , and someone else cheaper for the phone
You think they will send a notice to all users with a 'Change of Terms' letter enclosed???
Also, does anyone know how to monitor my usage?? How do I know how much data I've transfered thus far in my billing cycle??

As long as tethering still works like it did with usb tethering on cyanogen roms we do not get 2 ips from the carrier. Your phone gets 1 ip address from carrier and then acts as a router giving you private ip addresses that your carrier does not see. Same as you home ISP does not give out multiple ip addresses if you have multiple PCs at home conneted to a router.
Conclusion: Pay tmo $15/mo extra or root and do it for free (at your own risk). I have done it since the g1 days but very rarely, never had a prob.

^ This. I don't see how t mobile could track that you are tethering. Your phone requests the data, than transfers the data to the device you are tethering just like a router. The "outside world" only ever sees your router, or phone in this case. Unless I am misunderstanding the way tethering works.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk
AFAIK, an APN is required for tethering to work. The carrier controls this. Without APN access and one that plays nice with tethering apps, tethering may become impossible with existing tethering / wifi router apps?
Tethering Via Kies or Tethering Via Dial-Up Connection
Currently you can easily tether via Samsung Kies or by creating a dial-up connection. How will these two options change?
How would T-Mo know you are tethering via keys or dial-up connection?
I do have Kies and I've set up dial-up tethering, it works, however I have internet everywhere I go, so I never have really tethered other than just testing to see if it works. I think it is a shame though, people who abused tethering kinda ruined it for everyone. Now if you need to tether in an emergency, which in my case would be maybe like once a year or something, now the option is closed to everyone? Maybe they can create an emergency tethering plan. You pay for the 1 time you need to tether. I dunno.
*dial-up isn't really dial-up in the sense you may be thinking like in the old modem dial up days.
Had problem connecting my Droid Razr Maxx to my router at home (Netgear wndr 3300) but it connect almost everwhere else. After much help, and great service from Verizon and Motorola, including a next day replacement from Motorola, I found the problem was probably a conflict with the IP addresses i was using on the router. There is a conflice with base address 192.168.20.1 if it is used. You get connected, get an IP address but do not get any data. Changed to 192.168.0.1, and it worked fine. Have 192.168.16.1 at office it also works fine. Seem sot be conflict with LTE IF address. Love the Droid Razr Maxx. wonderful battery life.
From my experience, I have found that power cycling the router will in most cases resolve connectivity issues like this. But obviously that only works if you have access to said router.
On a side note, how exactly did you successfully perform a battery pull if you say you own a Maxx
I believe it has to do with what frequency range the router is using. I have a very nice VPN Linksys at my parents that I let them keep and it has the same issue with razr, thunderbolt, and Gnex so far. However my moms incredible 2 connects just fine.
I believe if you change it to a more common (off the top of my head, 90mhz) range everything should be just fine. I remember reading this somewhere and it made since, but my expertise is not in networking.
I haven't actually tried the fix because well, its my parents house and they have unlimited data and barely use 0.4 gb a month so no real need.
Hope this helps
Edit: I run a net gear at my house with 9-12 devices on it at a time and there are no issues connecting.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Nexus - Verizon 4G LTE.
When I had this problem I set up the router as no security, did not correct problem. Set up as 2,4 only no security, did not work. set up as all individual channels, did not work. Obviously powered down router and power up with each new setting, Still did not work. Even rebooted phone each time. Only thing that worked was changing base address. Did not remove battery.
Only question I have is if i run into a wifi network with this base address and I can't change it, I'm out of network connectivity.

WIFI problem
OKay... but how do you fix the wifi problem if you can't access the router? My droid razr maxx is having wifi connectivity problems with the wifi at my school. The phone will connect with the wifi for about 3 minutes, disconnect, and reconnect in an endless cycle. This sucks because I just got the phone a few days ago. I had a droid charge and never had a wifi issue like this. Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated. If I can't get this resolved within a few days I'm going to exchange my phone i hope that something will change.
wifi issues
I have 2 wifi routers at home. My RAZR could only connect to my 802.11N router and not my 802.11G router. It sees but when I try to log on to it, it would not connect.
So, it all depends on the router. It will see the signals from the routers but if it is not the N router, it will not connect.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for this! I had two friends whose LTE phones could connect to my home wifi but did not have Internet access. My Linksys WRT54GL running Tomato 1.28 firmware was configured to the 192.168.20.xxx network. Just changed the subnet to .15 and their phones now work on my wifi.
Seems silly to me that LTE network would have a hard coded conflict with a class C private network address. They should have used a much less commonly seen class A network if it is necessary. Regardless, thanks for the solution!
why do all you guys have your subnets set so high? standard is 192.168.1.1 on linksys, the highest I've ever had to move it to was 192.168.3.1 due to neighboring linksys routers.
Side note, I don't know if this holds true for all android devices, and may be more hassle then its worth but I've read on the samsung galaxy player pages of someone with wifi issues to his belkin router and he solved it by setting a static IP for his player, maybe you could try that with your razr and see if it helps.
@bryan how is tomato? I use DD-wrt on ALL the routers I can flash it to and is why I haven't paid to have internet at my house in like a year and a half (weekend rental house across the street).

I also want to pass on my thanks STEVEAPSEY, The only way to get my Droid Razor to work on my (Belkin) WiFi was setting up a public connection.

Just wanted to know if you could tether the GS3 without your network knowing?
I've only owned a wifi android tablet - so not clued up on how android handles 3g tethering etc?
There's some UK operators offering unlimited data with the GS3 at the moment...
Most of them allow it anyway. Three do for definite anyway, same with T-Mobile.

You should check whether your data is actually unlimited or (which it usually is) 1GB . I tethered my phone to my tablet and only appears as mobile data on my allowance (o2)

Why can you not download. Ive hit 40gb a month on tmobile tethering and its fine. If you have unlimited, then its fine. You will just get traffic managed on Three if your in the top 5% of their users.
there is literally no way for any netwsork to know that you are tethering. i dont even know why people worry about it.
if you run over your data allowance they will just charge you for the extra. its basically in their interest for you to tether.

Tethering can be detected by browser string interception and network address translation detection quite easily. Many providers around the world do detect and block tethering. I'm with T-Mobile on an account where tethering is not allowed but I've done it loads and exceeded my 3gb limit and they haven't done a thing about it.
Both those methods of detection do not work. NAT makes it HARDER for someone to detect whats going on beyond your device in the local network, not easier. They cant detect what is happening beyond the modem in your phone any more than the cable company can detect whats going on in your physical wired network beyond your router in your home cable line.
Browser string is not device specific and can be modified on most if not all devices by any user.
The only thing stopping you tethering is them saying you cant do it. Been tethering since the days of my nokia 6233 and never had any hassle from providers and never payed an extra penny for the priveledge.

Of course NAT makes detection harder but all sorts of protocols such as rDNS lookup and SMTP leak local IP addresses. Personally I find it unrealistic that any network provider would be employing these techniques, all I'm saying is they are possible.
What interests me is that some networks do block tethering. I'm not sure if any UK ones do, but the question I'd have is how do they do it?
Are they relying on default APN entries and blocking the ones a phone would access for tethering?
Sorry to butt in to this, but I have just installed Salmon rom on my gs2 and since this whenever I try to connect to the net I am taken to a screen from Three that says tethering is not allowed on my unlimited plan. It is turned off on my phone. I have to turn off mobile data then turn it back on again to be able to get on the net. Tried other roms and stock, and all are fine. So Three at least know when you are tetherd and do not allow it.
Basic gist i got of this (via a giff gaff comment) is that they will only guess based on massive download totals in a day or a few hours. So don't go over 1GB for example in a few hours, limit what you download and spread it over days. Giff Gaff (02 network) WILL ban if it detects this way.

Well, for starters you'll need to provide more information, such as
is this a dev edition or regular verizon phone?
are you running a custom ROM and/or kernel?
can you use other wifi networks?
I've never had any issues with mine.
Mine is just a regular verizon phone and I don't root it.
With other wifi networks, there are no such problem.
Columbia provides two wifi networks: one is unsecured, the other is secured.
But, both of them have the same disconnecting and reconnecting problem.
Actually, I even got replacement from Verizon, but the replacement one also has the same problem.
Of course I did the factory reset, which did not work.

Sounds like some compatibility issue with the access points AFAIK. I know there were some initial issues with some DLink consumer routers but this would be something new. You might want to see if you can find any information on the access points and report to Verizon/Samsung. For that matter you might report the issue to folks at Columbia and they might be of help.
That said, perhaps someone else has seen this and will chip in.
You are probably connected with DHCP. Sometimes I have found it useful to go into advanced options, and then click on "static". You should then see your IP address that DHCP has automatically assigned you. Try changing it and connecting. For example, if your IP is 192.168.0.7, try changing it to 192.168.0.45 or a number higher up.
Some of the routers have issues automatically assigning IP's. And with all of the connecting/reconnecting, the lower IP addresses can have issues. Assigning yourself an IP address that is out of the normal range that most connect in, can sometime help. My router at work does the same thing. So I set it up with an IP that was way out of range. 192.168.0.210. The DHCP service the router offers rarely assigns addresses in that range.
Also, sometime others will have done this already and assigned themselves a static IP in the low range. And sometimes the router will give seniority to someone connecting statically or that already has an IP or MAC that is filtered either on purpose or accidentally from an old configuration or user.
There are many scenarios. Including device fault. There could also be issues with the two routers or single router that is emitting both a secure and insecure connection.
Try the static IP address first, then report back.

It's likely to do with the WiFi Multimedia or equivalent in your router. It is especially prevalent in the Dlink DIR-655 and DIR-855 routers. If you have an "N" rated router (everyone should have) if you uncheck WMM (WiFi Multimedia) in your advanced router settings and reboot your router, you should not have any more constant connects or disconnects.
Sammy blames the hardware manufactures and the manufactures blames Sammy with each others firmware as the problem. I was using a DIR-655 router until i just updated mine last week to a Linksys EA4500 (N900) and no problems at all.
Just so you know, unchecking WMM means you force the router to basically run at "G" speeds instead of "N" speeds. WMM was a workaround compatibility fix during the time when "N" speeds were still in draft status, not official. New routers still use WMM but its all stable and new routers shouldn't have the same issues with the GS4.
90% of the time this is the exact issue people have with the constant disconnects with the GS4 with their routers. The fact it is at a university means you likely won't be able to fix it. You can try seeing if they can test this theory at their IT department but I have no clue if they will do it.

I just set "Static IP" in the advanced option without changing IP address.
But, this solved my problem, thank you for your help especially h311sdr0id.
Hi,
I'm hoping that someone can help me with this issue, as far as my wifi goes, I'm on at&t fiber 1000 connection speed. I would think that I should have enough bandwidth available to be able to listen to a online radio station without any buffering occurring. When I'm using my red pocket 4 G LTE mobile connection that connects to at&t there's not any buffering at all, I do have a private dns server setup to block ad's, the one that I use is this address (dns.adguard.com). It might be something rather small that I'm overlooking but so far I can't seem to determine what it might be. I only have a 8 gb data allowance per month, so that's why I can't use my mobile data connection all of the time. Of course my phone is a LG V30 phone that's running android version 9.0, any suggestions will be appreciated !

Even though your AT&T is 1 Gbps speed, that's your line in/ethernet cable speed. Have you run speed tests to see what your Wi-Fi speed is? It will vary, depending on distance from your Wi-Fi router.
Yes, it should probably be fast enough, but I'm still curious what your average Wi-Fi speed is, when testing from your phone.
Your DNS ad server blocking is a nice detail to help trouble shoot. But you're probably blocking the same ads on Red Pocket. Therefore it's something that's not playing nice with AT&T network. Just for experimentation, while on Wi-Fi TEMPORARILY turn off your AdGuard or whatever app you are using. You can temporarily disable it. See if the buffering still happens then?
Hi,
Thanks so much for your reply, I'll try that and see if it makes any difference. The reason I'm using the private dns address is so I don't have to use software for blocking ad's. Today I've been checking out unlimited data plans for my phone. I'm currently using red pocket and I pay for 8 gb of data per month. Happy Thanksgiving ! Stay Safe

Sure, I understand why you're using it. I use Ad Guard (paid, lifetime license) on two phones and Blokada (free) on 5 others, used by family/friends. Both allow choice of servers that will block ads.
We just need to see if something is conflicting on your home AT&T internet with Adguard servers. That may not be the case. But if so, there's workarounds we can try.
(For instance I know some websites have issues with Cloudflare DNS servers.)
Hi ChazzMatt,
Happy Thanksgiving, I hope you & yours have a wonderful day ! I've turned of the private adguard dns setting in my wifi settings on my phone, of course by doing so now I'm seeing more ad's once again. As I remember I did that a couple of day's ago, the first day when I was streaming some internet radio station's I didn't seem to have many buffering issues as I recall. Then yesterday while listening to some of the same stations with are provided by different sites I did have some buffering issues but not quite as bad as before. Also, I've went into the at&t gateway ( Pace 5268AC ) webpage & double checked the settings in there. Quite some time ago I did in fact change some of the settings that I was informed to do in another great forum where people who actually work for the companies can give users good advice ( http://www.dslreports.com ). For your reference, here are some of the settings I changed: (2.4 GHz Wifi Radio Confg. Heading), Channel Bandwidth from 20 MHz to 40 MHz, Transmit Power To Maximum 100, (5 GHz Wifi Radio Config. Heading), Current Wifi Channel To A Lower # Via Rescan 56, Transmit Power To Maximum 100. The main that I upgraded to the Fiber 1000 speed was to obtain additional bandwidth for the # of devices on the network. As I'm SURELY not an expert in broadband gateways, that's why I followed the suggestions that were provided to me. Also, where I stream the internet radio stations is located approx. 50 ft from the gateway. Maybe it has something to do with the wifi modem that's installed in my phone when it was manufactured. Thanks again for your help, Please Stay Safe !!
