Deco X73 DSL and configuring IPV6
Hi
I have recently replaced a NetGear DM200 modem with the Deco X73-DSL. I have got thing mostly working, and want to tackle a few optimisation steps I previously had setup...this thread is specifically for IPV6:
Note: The web interface seems extremely limited (to the point of being useless?), so I'm trying to configure using the android application.
My ISP is Internode in Australia, and that have IPv6 settings defined here:
HTTPS link (not allowed to put actual links in this post, so rough path): www internode on net / support / guides / internet_access / ipv6 /
They use a native 'dual-stack' IPv4 and IPv6. This gives me:
- Existing IPv4 address (if static) and any existing framed route(s)
- A dynamic /64 IPv6 prefix for the PPP session
- A static /56 IPv6 prefix for the LAN (if you are using a router with Prefix Delegation)
So, I have a delegated static /56 IPv6 prefix for the LAN along the lines of XXXX:XXXX:XXX:XXXX
Questions:
- I cannot find anywhere in the user interface where I can make use of that prefix? I presume it needs to be entered somewhere?
- The app allows the turning on/off of Prefix Delegation - when this is turned on, it makes my network crawl...when off, the network is fine, but not using IPv6. Should this be on/off?
- For the connection Type, I'm using PPPoE (as I have FTTN NBN). Presume that is correct?
- I have 'Use Same Account as IPv4' enabled - again, assume correct as only have one account, etc.
- 'Get IPv6 Address' - set to Auto -> seems correct as dynamic? I wondered about static due to the LAN prefix, but don't think it should be here?
- 'Obtain DNS Automatically' -> ATM this is on (until I get it working). I will change to use CloudFlare: anyone else done this OK?
- DNS - it does not look like we can configure encryption, and have to do so on individual devices?
- 'Assigned Type' - set to DHCPv6 - not sure on these options at all! Any guidance would be great!
As a related query, I'm sure I originally configure the DNS servers for IPv4 to use Cloudflare, but cannot find a way to edit them in the app when I look now?! It all seems uneditable and using the ISP assigned DNS servers?
Any assistance/answers to these questions would be great so I can narrow my focus.
Cheers
Paul
