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

I use that one. I also use https://ipv6-test.com/ 

I have had a good look through mine but nothing jumps out. tp link are still looking into it

Better tag @Ian442001 as well, as they're the original poster in this thread.

@Ian442001 What Ipv6 dns server does your vf router use (on the main status page). I'm still stuck on using TunnelBroker's and suffering some lag. 

Hi primary and secondary DNS IPV6 addresses have nothing in them

Much obliged. 

Just got Google's dns6 running reliably. Don't know if there were some settings left over from TunnelBroker (aside from the dns) but we're all happy now 😁

My celebration was premature. While I can get an IPv6 connection over 6to4 @Ian442001 has a native connection. There's no way I can get it to work in native mode (I can't get a gateway).

So it appears, whilst vodafone are giving new customers native IPv6, established customers have to put up with either a poor (make-do) tunnel or go without. I really hope this gets sorted.
