Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 28 Administrators Share Posted January 28 Try disabling IPv6 for just LAN, then reboot the router and see if it works then please TheTerpinator710 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 28 Administrators Share Posted January 28 Have you ever been able to get IPv6 working on the R3 so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 28 Administrators Share Posted January 28 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 TheTerpinator710 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugen02 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 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. Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chackall Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi300 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 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. Chackall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 9 Administrators Share Posted March 9 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 Chackall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzy Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 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). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6 DOGGAVELI and Chackall 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi300 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 @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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippy Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 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. DOGGAVELI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud R3 Owner Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the ISP router have other options for IPv6 that result in proper IPv6 through the R3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Proud R3 Owner Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 @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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 16 Administrators Share Posted March 16 So when you do this test: https://test-ipv6.com it still says no IPv6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it would make a difference but could you disable QoS completely from the SmartBOOST menu and see if that helps please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
