No, test-ipv6.com is another website that tests if you have ipv6
Yesterday when I tried it, I couldn't get to it, web page didn't load and had an error. Googled and found Charter has its OWN version, https://test-ipv6.charter.com/, so I assumed they were blocking it for me. Today it worked however and I could get to it?
There are many IPv6 test pages. Most give the same basic data, others, like the one I referenced, give more detailed info.
That is how I discovered (using the link I posted) that my router doesn't allow ICMP for IPv6 (part of PING basically). No setting for it, but the firewall allows it for IPv4 (yes, I contacted support and it was verified that this is the case). Works now as my ISP DNS is dual-stacked and handles both IPv4 and 6.

@gnad Centurylink in Seattle uses 6rd TP-Link does not seem to support this, I have tried all combos - I tried a Synology RT-2600 set IPv6 to 6rd worked great, same with netgear (netgear kept droping the PPPoE connection).
Does anyone know if TP-link will ever support the 6rd type ?

@ArcherC8 I have a Archer C3800 , that would not work w/ IPv6 ( worked fine with Comcast), I went to CentruyLink - work well but unable to get IPv6 to work found out that CL uses 6rd and my c3800 just would not do it, had an old d-link worked w/ ip6 but only had about 4ooMb/s throughput found that Synology had the 6rd protocol an d give me 980Mb/s throughput Bought an Archer AX11000 still would not do IPv6 - it is sad because I do like TP-link, btw tried Netgear (they also support 6rd) but they had so many other issues, such as kept logging out or the wifi just quitting and so on - I do like Costco.
