IPv6 doesn't significantly lower latency, except in rare situations where a better route exists compared to IPv4—which is extremely uncommon. You can fully run both IPv4 and IPv6 on the same network, a setup known as dual-stack, which is currently standard and expected to remain so for the foreseeable future until IPv6 becomes widespread.
The advantages of dual stack include supporting both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. This allows you to access and manage services that require either protocol, ensuring broader compatibility and future-proofing your network setup. I'm here to explain IPv6 in detail if you'd like.
Dual stack provides access to both IPv4 and IPv6 networks, combining their strengths. By default, most systems favor IPv6 and try it first if available; if not supported, it switches to IPv4 within seconds due to IPv6 issues. When DNS records only reference IPv4, the OS defaults to using IPv4. In practice, nearly everyone has dual stack or uses only IPv4, so enabling it usually poses no problem—your router simply ignores the missing IPv6 prefix. Note: Most home users receive dynamic IPv6, but this differs from IPv4 in that public IPv6 addresses are assigned automatically.
