Tags: #IPv6
Model: Archer BE550  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.1 Build 20250813 rel.27119

I am currently using with an ISP that provides an IPv6 /48 prefix delegation. While the router connects successfully to the ISP and obtains IPv6 connectivity, it appears to only request and assign a single /64 prefix on the LAN side.

As a result, my LAN devices are not receiving global IPv6 addresses, since the router does not seem to advertise or distribute subnets from the full /48 allocation. I have also been unable to find any option in the firmware to adjust the prefix delegation (PD) size or to manually configure subnetting.

I would like to request that TP-Link add support for configurable IPv6 Prefix Delegation sizes (for example, /48, /56, /60, /64) in a future firmware update. This feature is essential for users whose ISPs provide larger IPv6 delegations, and it would ensure the router can correctly distribute IPv6 addresses across LAN devices.

I have the same issue with Verizon FiOS and it’s a /56 prefix

This should be a feature 100%. Many ISPs give /64, /56 or /48 Prefix, and TP-Link only supports /64, even the main IP is /64, when some ISPs delegate a /128 WAN IP
Knowledge and Wisdom is the key to success

It is impossible for me to use Ipv6 at present because of this issue. My hardware should not be the limiting factor.
