Hi,

 

You can enter the global IPv6 address of your local DNS server in the IPv6 menu under IPv6 Internet -> Advanced Settings -> Primary DNS and Secondary DNS (enter the same address twice). These should then get assigned to your local client devices.

Hey thanks for that, I did try that, but it just said invalid format, so assumed it was setup similar to how the ipv4 one is - one lot for the router checking if the connection was working and one for ipv6. I thought ipv6 had a standard format, but what ever I entered there seemed to just say "invalid format" 

 

Cheers

Here in my local network (router is an Archer BE550) all client devices are being assigned a global IPv6 address that starts with a "2".

I can enter the global IPv6 address (not a local-link IPv6 address) of any of my client devices into the two Primary/Secondary DNS fields and it will accept them.

 

Maybe that is where I was going wrong, I was using the 80 (or was it 8f) starting ones.. so I need the full externally facing ipv6 address. Will grab them and try again tomorrow. Ipv6 is new to me and having all devices have a fully remote available address is a scary prospect, but I guess that is where the router firewall comes in :)

There is already a feature request filed by another user here https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/827952 that asks for the thing you were looking for. But don't expect something like this to be implemented in the firmware anytime soon.
