Model: Archer AX73

Firmware Version:

Hello, I would like to know if the router's firewall protects the ipv6 network? I did not find this option in the setup differentiating ipv4 from ipv6, I found only a general one, therefore the doubt.

Yes, there is an IPv6 firewall on the AX73 router which blocks the external access to the server automatically to protect your internal network and ensure its security. It is enabled by default, so there is no setting menu on the web interface.

@Kevin_Z Developers could implement this option, I believe that the more customizable I leave my network, the better it will be for me, where I can choose what to leave active or not
