I am new to Kali, and I've some experience with Debian, Mint in particular. I want to try out Kali, and I downloaded a couple different Installer and Live images to boot from USB on my 10yrs. old Thinkpad, but none can boot, later I found the image can only boot on Legacy mode that's fine. When I start the installer it got stuck when detecting the network, I tried the fail safe mode also the same result, it seemed it got stuck after setting up DHCPv6, I then ran a test via the internet and found that IPv6 was not configured, but that should not be a problem, I got this also when setting up other distro, so I guess that wasn't the cause of the halt, so what's happening and the fix ? I should have posted this on the Kali forum, but it has closed for registration.
You indicate you had a problem detecting the network in Kali and in the next sentence you indicate you ran a test via the internet?? I don't know if this will resolve your problem but you do know that networking is disabled by default on Kali for obvious reasons. See the link below.
Are you installing Kali directly on hardware? If Kali will only install in Legacy mode I expect that is your hardware or BIOS settings. Since you don't seem to have much experience, have you considered installing Kali in virtual software or to a USB?

It was a faulty router, I replaced it and worked fine. I said I had problem with DHCPv6 during installation, so I tested via the internet my IPv6 address and returned error, my system was not configured with IPv6... yes I am new to Kali, am interested to try out many of those network tools came with it, actually those tools can be installed on Mint which I am more familiar with.
