Hello Tommi,

Tuesday July 29 2025 22:27, I wrote to you:

 MV> As expected...  Tnx.

As a side note: My coax provider (Ziggo) had a service called "WiFi hotspots"
that allowed customers to use the WiFi network of other customers. To gain
access to that network one had to enable the service in one's own modem/rouer
so that others could make use of it. I found it usefull.

But.. that "guest network" was IPv4 only. They had plans to add IPv6 but it
never came to that. The system was switched of first of July. The use had
dropped, mainly because of the rise of inlimited access to G/5G networks. The
benefits of maintaining the WiFi hotspots no longer outweighed the cost and
effort and so it was discontinued they say.

One way to get rid of IPv4...


Cheers, Michiel
