Model: Archer C20  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 0.9.1 4.16 v0001.0 Build 181213 Rel.33336n(5553)

Hello my router can't establish a ipv6 connection, though it supports it and even my isp (Earthlink Telecommunications) supports it, and i tried to use SLACC and DHCPv6 and Neither of them worked, so whats happening here can someone help me on how to establish a stable ipv6 connection. (Btw my ipv4 connection use Dynamic IP so should i use Dynamic IP on ipv6 too?) 


 

and the test-ipv6.com website show these results on test run:

Test with IPv4 DNS record  

ok (0.666s) using ipv4

Test with IPv6 DNS record  

bad (0.421s)

Test with Dual Stack DNS record  

ok (0.395s) using ipv4

Test for Dual Stack DNS and large packet  

ok (0.490s) using ipv4

Test IPv6 large packet  

bad (0.378s)

Test if your ISP's DNS server uses IPv6  

ok (0.404s) using ipv4

Find IPv4 Service Provider  

ok (0.475s) using ipv4 ASN 199739

Find IPv6 Service Provider  

bad (0.375s)

(Im using cloudflare dns)

Hi  @al9,

All Archer Router models support IPv6 Internet connection but it is disabled by default, it can be enabled via the web management interface.
There are a few connection types available: Dynamic IP (default), PPPoE, 6to4 tunnel, IPv6 Bridge, DSlite, and V6Plus. Please contact your ISP if you do not know your IPv6 internet connection type and configuration information.How to set up an IPv6 Internet connection on the TP-Link Wi-Fi Routers?

This FAQ will help you with configuring IPv6 Internet connection: How to set up an IPv6 Internet connection on the TP-Link Wi-Fi Routers?
However, there are a few special cases where ISP only provides prefix-delegation, please refer to How to set up IPv6 service for some specific ISP like BT/Hyperoptic or SKY etc on the wireless router for more details.
