My mobile connection is using dual stack with IPv6 as well as IPv4, where my Wifi router by default provides IPv4 only. If a service only returns an IPv6 address, the service is loaded via mobile data plan, instead of Wifi. So be aware that your mobile data plan may be eaten up, even if Wifi is active.
So if your router is IP4 only, think about disabling IPv6 at all. There where some posts how to do it here on the forum.
