Btw: This beta still seems to be based on Linux 4.4.60. Is there any plan to move Deco firmware to a newer maintained kernel branch, ideally a modern longterm one? Thanks again

Hi, thank you very much for the feedback.

Deco IPV6 delegated prefix has to be /64. Even when the ISP assigns /56 or /60, Deco will automatically pad prefixes to 64 bits.

As for a higher Linux-based beta version, I'll record it and report to the engineer later.

Best regards.

Thanks for the clarification on IPv6, but I still think supporting larger delegated prefixes more fully would be a valuable improvement for advanced IPv6 deployments.

 

As for the Linux kernel, I could not find official download links for previous firmware versions, so I am unable to compare or roll back. Because of that, I cannot tell whether the kernel base I observed is specific to this beta only, or also used in stable/final releases.

 

Thanks,

I share the same feeling as @natszirt 

While these may be different IPv6 issues technically, they seem to expose the same limitation in Deco: IPv6 is supported, but advanced control and observability are still very limited.

 

Whether the issue is delegated prefix handling, MTU/PMTUD behavior, RA/default route visibility, or general troubleshooting, the current UI exposes very few IPv6 parameters compared with IPv4.

It would be very valuable if future firmware added more IPv6-specific controls and diagnostics, not just basic connectivity.

 

Option 2 is:

Let the Decos as AP and buy a router 😔

 

Thanks again
