    Disable IPv6.

    Windows and some printers just choke on IPv6 for some reason. I was having sporadic issues with network printers and windows until I disabled IPv6 for other reasons and noticed a noticeable decrease in printer error metrics.

    It’ll also affect SMB shares

      I wish I could do that, but CGNAT makes ipv6 the much preferred option for a lot of things.

      But it’s good to know that this might be the cause…
