My router never gets an IPv6 subnet. My devices do not get an IPv6 IP.
https://ipv6-test.com/ says IPv6 isn't supported.
This all worked under a cable modem. It's just once I was converted to fiber.

Yes.

First, you need to distinguish between IP addresses: public and private. Cox will assign a public address to your DOCSIS or ONT. This address is how the rest of the Internet (public) "sees" and routes data to your DOCSIS or ONT. You can view this address by Internet-searching: my IP. The search engine will either display your public address or provide links to other websites.
This public IP has nothing to do with your router or private network...other than the Internet routing your requested data to your DOCSIS or ONT. Your DOCSIS or ONT will then transfer the data to your router via MAC or Layer-2. There is no network-routing between a DOCSIS or ONT and a personal router. No network-routing = no IP address.
If your router used to assign private IPv6 addresses to your devices, it should still be assigning IPv6 addresses to your devices. If you didn't replace your router, its settings should still be the same as before. Unless you replaced your router with a non-IPv6 capable router.
Cox will not assign an IP address to your router.
- LisaH5 years agoModeratorCox has established an IPv6 Migration Program to make sure that all Cox networks, systems, and products have IPv6 compatibility so that when the IPv4 addresses are exhausted, we will continue our business operations without interruption. We are in the process of developing the IPv6 migration plan for all of products and services. - Lisa, Cox Support Forums Moderator

Your IPv6 support page says:
When will the Cox network be upgraded to IPv6?
All Cox customers in all markets now have access to IPv6...That's not exactly true, now is it?
