Amazon's BLINK cameras and IPv6?

Hi.

I'm considering moving from fixed line broadband to a 5G solution as I have a very strong signal and reasonable speeds from Three (on my mobile- 400-500mbps), whereas fixed line is very slow for the money (sub 50mbps FTTC). One thing that worries me is that Three seem to be dishing out IPv6 addresses, at least on my phone, and I'm pretty sure my Blink camera system isn't going to like that.

I'll use the 3Internet APN which should give me a non CGNAT address but will it be IPv4 or IPv6 or should I be able to switch off IPv6 on my router?

Not sure which router I'm going to buy yet but think I will probably go SIM only and buy one rather than go contract.

Any ideas folks?

Regards

The ZTE MC801A modem that 3 dishes out doesn't use IPv6, at least not at the moment so I'm assuming if you bought the same one that should work fine. Don't know about the other router options.

I have a Blini mini indoor cam and always use IPV6 on my network. I’ve never had a problem with the camera as it just pulls an IPV4 address anyway I think.
Also every router I’ve had has allowed you to turn on and off IPV6 dur to compatibility issues with some devices. But I’ve not used different routers on my FTTC connection. Not a mobile cellular router and modem combo.
