IPv6

[TheTerpinator710]

Can’t get IPv6 to work, even after the newest firmware update.. 

 

I’ve seen this issue with others as well.. 

 

what’s the deal!? 

[Netduma Fraser]

Try disabling IPv6 for just LAN, then reboot the router and see if it works then please

Have you ever been able to get IPv6 working on the R3 so far?

Nope, not since I’ve had it. Was hoping .40 would’ve fixed it

[Netduma Fraser]

Okay good to know, the team are aware that more work needs to be done on it so probably one of the next firmware versions it'll be improved

I also don't see IPV6 working/passing through correctly with my R3 on the 4.0.41 firmware. I did a factory reset after the upgrade.

Hopefully the new firmware update comes out soon.

I am also unable to use IPv6 on R3.

Function is enabled in Windows 11, I tried disabling IPv6 on the Lan and restarting the router, but it remains inoperative as you can see in the image below:

 

My provider already has the IPv6 service active, I used it on my other router.

Any other tips on how to activate IPv6?

IPv6 is bugged. The best tip I can give you is wait for the new update at this point turn off both LAN and WAN IPv6.

[Netduma Fraser]

I think as above it'll be better in the next firmware but make sure the R3 is in the DMZ on the upstream router and it may help

Hi guys !

Why do you want to use IPv6 Internet? (Game consoles and PC gaming applications use NAT so this won't be of any help to you, it seems to me).

@Fuzy I do not care one way or the other. Mine has been disabled for months. I have no plans of enabling it in the near future.

I usually am the odd guy out on this but I use IPV6 exclusively.. My gaming by far is better using IPV6.. But im also playing on the Xbox.. 

There are factors to get it to work correctly though. And one key factor is to have a hostname tied to your IPV6 account.. An ideally have a Native IPV6 connection..  Not to mention functioning DNS servers.. 

What many dont understand is if you have a good working IPV6 one will get an Open NAT on Xbox because IPV6 doesnt use NAT..  

If you have to enable UPNP or use port forwarding to get an Open NAT using IPV6 then your not using IPV6 or its not functioning properly.. You should get an Open NAT with out using any of those.. Ive tested this on Netgear and ASUS routers and always had good results.

The R3 will get there! 👍

Thanks!

Zippy.

My was not coming though ethier but if u unplug your Ps5 or Xbox from the back wait a sec and plug it back in it will show up the ipv6 

[Freebandzz]

Unplug from back of console plug it back in should work 🤞does for me intill the update

Just wanted to share, I do have ipv6 available from my ISP. However, when I give the R3 an ipv6 address through dhcp6 or slaac, it only distributes link local addresses (fe, fd).

Does the ISP router have other options for IPv6 that result in proper IPv6 through the R3?

I'm not using an ISP router. I'm using a Motorola mb8611 > tp-link archer ax11000 > R3 (DMZ). TP-LINK router gets a good ip6 and can distribute via slaac wired and wireless I've checked that. When going into the R3 via DMZ however the R3 will only provide a fd/fe ip link local only. I've tried with slaac and dhcp6 on the tp-link. Imo slaac should work but it's not.

@Netduma Fraser

I was playing around with some settings last night. I was able to see the ip6 address as my public address in the R3 but alas the ip6 addresses the R3 was giving out were only link local again.

If you're getting a public IPv6 address through the R3 then that's all you need, you are using IPv6

No, I see the IPv6 on the R3 but it's only giving me link local addresses over the network. Only getting fe: and fd: address from the R3.

So when you do this test: https://test-ipv6.com it still says no IPv6?

That's correct.

I doubt it would make a difference but could you disable QoS completely from the SmartBOOST menu  and see if that helps please?
