WiFi setting for remote work


Now, world is isolated with Remote work and Social distancing, as I posted last week.  Here's a useful tip for internet connectivity for work from home.

You may get some IP version differences, on connecting the work site from home using vPN.  It's due to the mismatch of IP version differences between work and home.  Industry has 2 common internet protocol namely IPv4 and IPv6, where IPv6 is the new version in terms of complexity and efficiency like broadcast vs multicast, header bytes 20 vs 60, encryption and authentication.

Mostly your work network doesn't support IPv6, whereas home network supports IPv6, then you should disable IPv6 option by selecting Home WiFi properties.  IPv4 continues to be enabled.  This feature is reachable from control panel option as shown in the attached image.

Simple but essential solution for the current work from home scenario.
