When displaying the Kodi system_info network settings, it reports the Gateway IP address as an incorrect IPV4 address of 254.128.0.0. The IPV4 gateway address should be the typical address of 192.168.1.1 as all the other network devices report (provided by DHCP) in the network.
This occurs only when IPV6 is enabled on Android TV OS (Nvidia Shield) and also is enabled on the home Router. Note, Kodi only reports IPV4 addresses in the System_info/Network and not IPV6 addresses. Turning off IPV6 on Android TV or on the home router resolves this incorrect reporting of the gateway address.
The IPV6 Gateway address served by the home router begins with fe80 which when converted to decimal converts to 254 and 128. Seems possibly an error ( or coincidently) recognizing a IPV6 gateway address and tries incorrectly to convert to IPv4 address?
