Archer C2300 - IPv6 Setup difficulties
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I'm having difficulty in entering my ISP's provided IPv6 configuration into my Archer C2300 router.
Essentially, whatever I try, the router responds with 'Invalid format' for the addresses, and I'm sort of at my wits end in how to get this working.
From my ISPs documentation:
If you’re using a third-party router with our service, you should be able to manually configure it with IPv6 (depending on the router model) by doing the following:
- Navigate to WAN interface section of router web GUI
- Select dual stack option for WAN interface (IPv4/IPv6)
- For address/prefix source select DHCPv6 (not static option)
- Enable prefix delegation (PD)
- Select SLAAC for IPv6 address creation method
Now, they've provided me with a static IP address, and I've managed to pull some of the following information from their router, but try as I might, I cannot get the Archer to accept the inputs.
LLA - fe80::4613:d0ff:fee4:cc53
GUA - ::
Prefix - 2a01:4b00:821e:6c00::/56
DNS - ::/::/::
IPv6 Gateway - fe80::36b3:54ff:fe1f:109b
So, can anyone please shed some light on what the settings are that I need to be plugging into the router? Surely, this shouldn't be that difficult.
Thanks,
Mark
Yes, I've read the FAQ, and frankly that gives zero information in relation to the issue I'm experiencing and as I outlined in my original post.
The error given by the router gives zero explanation as to how to correct the issue, and the FAQ (or the full user manual, which I had to go to a non TP Link site to find) gives no insight either.
