Model: Archer BE550  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.2 Build 20250317 rel. 18331

Hi,

 

Does the BE550 v1 support address assignment for private IPv6 addresses via ULA (unique local address)?

Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything in the router's IPv6 settings. When I enter "fd00:::" for IPv6 LAN via DHCPv6 and try to save it, I always get the message "Invalid format."

 

Another option for me would be to enter a link local address (fe80) as IPv6 DNS server. But the BE550 v1 doesn't seem to allow that either.

 

How do I configure DHCPv6 on the BE550 if it supports IPv6 ULA?

 

If that's not possible, is there a plan to make ULA for DHCPv6 available or that link local addresses can also be entered in the IPv6 DNS options via firmware?

 

Best regards

GrenSo
