Need help enabling IPv6

[Pringles]

Hello, I am having trouble enabling IPv6 on my network. My ISP is Starlink and I have the Gen 1(Circular Dish) connected to the Netduma R3 router(I am not using the Starlink router). I'm on firmware v4.0.645 and I have both the WAN and LAN IPv6 settings enabled. To my understanding Starlink supports IPv6 on all Starlink dishes as well as the R3 router, however I cannot get an IPv6 address when testing it via the "test-ipv6.com" website. 

Things I've tried:
-Power Cycling Starlink(also unplugging it for a few minutes)
-Rebooting Router(unplugging it for a few minutes as well)
-Factory Resetting Router
-Using only the WAN IPv6 option and disabling the LAN IPv6

It's not that big of a deal if I can't obtain an IPv6 address as I just wanted to check it out to see how it compares to IPv4 and if I notice any improvement, but if anyone knows any solutions I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

I would suggest first connecting a PC direct to the dish and seeing whether you can get an IPv6 address that way

What does that mean exactly? Unplugging the Starlink Ethernet cable from the WAN port on the router and plugging that into my PC?

Hello Pringles,

That would be correct. Connect the starlink directly to your PC to see if the starlink is even giving out any IPV6 addresses.. Then you would know for sure.  Im not familiar with starlink but I would think it should work similar to other type of connection setups.. Has it ever worked for you before you added the R3?

Thanks!

Yes that's right, exactly as above

Ok after I connected my PC directly to the dish I did get an IPv6 address. Before I had the R3 I used the XR500 and I remember being able to get an IPv6 address when I enabled it, but at the time with Starlink it was hit or miss whether it stayed on or not so I just kept it disabled.

I did as described and I did get an IPv6 address

Okay great thanks, you said you don't use their router but do you have the router so you could test dish > starlink router > R3 to see if you get IPv6 that way?

I don’t have the router with me right now, but I can try to get my hands on it today. I’ll keep you posted.
