How to configure DS Lite internet connection (WAN)
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I would like to replace my current internet router by the tp link er707-2 router.
But I was not able to establish a proper WAN connection. My internet provider is using DS Lite (6rd) and is not assign a public ipv4 internet address.
Provider is only using a public ipv6 addrees and is tunneling all the ipv4 traffic through provider gateway (AFTR).
I couldn't find any configuration options in the router interface to achieve that.
Is ER707-M2 not supproting DS-Lite?
I'm wondering because all the TP Link consumer routers support this kind of connections but the business router not?
Is that really true? Unfortuntaly I have not seen that in the specs of the router before I have bought it.
Where is the challenge for TP Link to implement that also for there business routers. The router supports only the outdated 6to4 tunnel connection type but not the more import direction 4 to 6.
Without that the entire SDN stuff is more or less useless for me and will bought the hardware from another manufactorer who is supporting that.

I have found a documentation for a TP Link consumber router where it is described what has to be configured on the consumer router.
https://www.tp-link.com/no/support/faq/2483/
I think the correct term is "Dual-Stack Lite (DS-Lite)" where the customer get a global IPv6, but using Carrier NAT IPv4.
I have also found other threads here in the forum related to other business routers, having the same problem.

Unfortunately there was no feedback or at least in the German thread that the mentioned router there does not support DS-Lite.
Connection information from the current router.
Thanks for your feedback.
But in that case the TP Link Omada products are not the right ones for me and I will send them back because I don't know if TP Link is willing to implement that feature and also not when I can expect that feature.
Router is useless for me when I can use it in 2 years
