When AWS started charging for IPv4 addresses I started switching to IPv6. I spent a few days getting it all up and running. I thought it was OK but my router kept crashing every day, then I noticed I can't get working from some places like my office. Gave up, never again its just not worth it. I moved to another hosting service that didn't charge.

Is it possible that the problems came about because you were running dual networks and not IPv6-only?

Maybe when you upgrade your router to one that cares about IPv6 it will work. Never say never. Also...

That's not going to last. The price of having an IPv4 address must go up over time since demand will continue to increase and it will (already is at some places such as Hetzner and other managed hosts) cost more than IPv6 which is usually a free address.
