YSK AT&T has exceptionally poor IPv6 support, and if your home internet feels sluggish (despite technically having fast test speeds) this is likely the problem, and turning it off will boost your experience dramatically.

IPv6 capable speed test: https://fast.com (speedtest.net had mostly IPv4 only test servers last time I checked).

Pi-hole

More information on a PiHole here. It really is a fun little project to put in place. The hardest part is explaining to the people in your house why the "Suggested Links" on google no longer work.

On another IPv6 note. I have a different provider and had my router configured to use IPv6 when it became available from my ISP. I'm pretty sure that was what caused Zoom to start dropping frames at the beginning of the year. Checking https://test-ipv6.com/ and https://ipv6-test.com/, I had some support, but it was not fully implemented, and it was not great performance for some sites. I disabled IPv6 and the problems went away.

NextDNS

Https://nextdns.io is essentially a pi-hole in the cloud, and personalized. I set up diff profiles for myself and my friends/family for blocking and point to nextdns.

WARP by Cloudflare

Better to keep IPv6 enabled. DNS is often a problem for both IPv4 and IPv6 though. To specify faster DNS servers, many people use the IPv4 *and* IPv6 addresses of cloudflare (one.one.one.one) and google (dns.google ) :.
