Archer A20 V1, IPv6 support.
Archer A20 V1, IPv6 support.
I'm on W10 Home V2004, and I have Norton 360 as my Security Suite. My ISP is Spectrum and they support IPv6 using a double DNS stack.
I am on the latest f/w:
So I enabled IPv5 on the A20:
The DNS does show before I did a SAVE and CONNECT. Once that happened the DNS number were gone and the IPv6 address appeared.
I then went to ipv6-test.com:
It seems I had a problem or two.
I did do some things...
- Open my Norton Firewall and added an ICMPv6 rule to accept and send all.
- By default, the A20 firewall doesn't allow Pings from the WAN, enabled that.
Rebooted PC and Router. Nothing changed? I assume the router is NOT sending ICMP to the LAN connected PC?
I'm still in search of some answers too... I got the A20 on 9/10/2019, it was basically released in Mar. of 2019. Now in this year, a V3 was released. Is there something wrong with the V1 that it was replaced so soon (marked as END OF LIFE now)? If I do have an IPv6 problem, does that mean it will NOT be fixed? Does the V3 NOT have this problem? I sort of feel cheated that it was 'dropped' so soon?

Thank you for the update.
I didn't think about the modem when it came to the DNS server names, I assumed they would just pass through.

Well, it hasn't gotten better. I decided to switch out the modem to see. Went down to the Spectrum store and the only thing they could give me was the similar Arris Modem/Router combo. Router function would disable itself when connected as I did not contract for wireless with them and the modem would be in Bridge mode.
Well, I stall can't get the DNS IP Addresses. What is worse, a friend has the same modem/router and a LinkSys EA7500 as his router. He gets the correct DNS's. He's had that combo for a few years.
I now suspect a Spectrum issue? I've seen at least 2 posting on another forum of not being able to get V6 working.
Spectrum is willing to send out a tech, but I'd have to pay for the service call if it is not a problem with their hardware... no guarantee they wouldn't decide it that it was my problem.
I may just stick with specifing the Public V6 IP Addresses and be done with it?

I would say yes for the fact that it may not look like you have the IPv6 DNS servers, but you are at least able to verify that there are some being used.
If you didn't even have Googles DNS then I would continue to follow up with support if I was in your situation, as not having any sort of DNS would be a nightmare.
