ipv6 settings

[Ian442001]

Hi just been upgraded to full fiber via openreach and vodafone has enabled ipv6 on my connection i am using my own router to connect but am struggling to put the settings in for ipv6 and vodafone isnt helpful i have read they have implimented dual stack ipv6 and my router is a tp link archer axe75.

i have checked with the vodafone router and it is getting a ipv6 address but when i connect via the tp link with the wan connected to the ont so what setting i try to use i git no joy?

any help would be much appreciated

It sounds like Vodafone may have reworked their Teredo Tunnelling for existing customers - they've had this in place for years, but it was only ever half-hearted.  Even with BT though, if I use their DNS I get DNSv6 over IPv4, and it seems to work perfectly.

Too right it's half hearted. It fails after about 5 minutes. Back to hurricane electric for me 😁

is pppoe login the same for ipv4 and ip6?

[Ripshod]

Yep. There's only one login.

Hey @Ian442001 did you manage to get your to link working with ipv6. I have ipv4 working. Does connection type matter? I have these options : ND Proxy, SLAAC+Stateless DHCP, DHCPv6, SLAAC+RDNSS. Which I'm unsure about. 

[Ripshod]

Which router are you using? Have you confirmed IPv6 is actually active on your connection? 

[LeonsDev]

Tp link deco xe75. Yep I get an ipv6 from my Vodafone router.

Does this not work? It should

I posted the wrong image - should have been this one

Unfortunately no pppoe for ipv4 works fine. For IPv6 it just crashes. Have identified SLAAC+RDNSS is most likely the correct setting. As the Vodafone router doesn't support dhcpv6.
