### WiFi
In our long term tests the WiFi of the VIIRB shows
reliability issues with clients that are not directly next to it.
As the majority of VIIRB users we are in touch with did not use the
WiFi and our preference is on delivering stable systems, we have
turned the WiFi off by default. Effective since 2020-12-01.
If you are looking for an IPv6 enabler with reliable WiFi, we
recommend to use the [VIWIB](/u/products/viwib-wifi-ipv6-box) instead.

an up-to-date firmware, pre-configured and
combined with the [IPv6VPN](https://ipv6vpn.ch).

When you order the VIIRB, you will receive one pre-configured

because we think that most people already have this and we don't want
to contribute to tech waste.
The VIIRB is based on the

## How it works in detail
The complete flow for how your computers get IPv6 in the LAN
is show in the following picture:
![](/u/image/ipv6-with-the-viirb.png)
So basically the VIIRB...
* gets an IPv4 address in your LAN
* connects to the IPv6VPN.ch service
* Gets its /48 routed via Wireguard
* Announces (via Router Advertisements) IPv6 on the LAN
* Because of the announcement, all clients in the LAN assign themself
an IPv6 address
And for Wifi it does the same, but uses a different /64
network.
