No IPv6 Address with Archer MR600 in Wireless Router Mode
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
When I am running my Archer MR600 in Wireless Router Mode:
- The Router gets an IPv6 Address from the Network (IPv6 is enabled in profile ipoe_1_d) but
- Does not assign an IPV6 Address to the LAN and connected devices
(see image)
So I am limited to IPv4 when in Wireless Router mode, but I need IPv6 in a specific situation. (WireGuard IPv6 only endpoint)
This behavior does not occur in 3G/4G Router Mode. In this case everything works as expected: Both IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses are assigned.
Thank you for the quick reply
I did as you recommended and now I have firmware version 1.5.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 210914 Rel.59719n
Unfortunately the behavior has not changed:
Still no IPv6 are assigned to the LAN in Wireless Router Mode.
Same image as I already posted, IPv6 exits in "Internet" but does not exist in "LAN"
Edit (Update):
I have done some more tests in the meantime:
If I set a static IPv6 prefix instead of using Delegate (see Image) an IPv6 Address is assigned to the router and to the clients
With this IPv6 Address
- I can ping other other clients in the router's lan and the router itself
- but not access the internet
Apparently the IPv6 default gateway is not set correctly. There is no option to set it similar to the site prefix.
I am connecting 2 different routers to the WAN port of the Archer MR600.
- when I am at home, an AVM Fritzbox: Here I found an option to assign the Site Prefix. Then I can switch back to "Delegate" and everything is working, including the gateway that is also set correctly.
- when I am in a remote site: an Android Wifi access point connected with a TL-WR902AC to the WAN port of the Archer MR600. Nothing can be configured there, so I have only IPv4 or IPv6 limited to internal IP-Addresses, when I assign a static Site Prefix as described above
I will do some more tests with the Android scenario, maybe I find a solution. Of course I still appreciate your help
