Hi everyone,

 

I'm probably missing something really obvious here but I can't get my head around this :)

 

I'm using a Synology RT6600ax router. When connected to Quic via DHCP, IPv6 works as expected. Under Internet > IPv6 Setup I can set "IPv6 Setup" to "DHCPv6-PD" and the other fields (IPv6 address, prefix length, gateway, prefix) will fill themselves in automatically. Under Local Network > Primary Network > IPv6 DHCP I have "Enable IPv6" turned on, the relevant prefix chosen from the list, and "Stateless DHCPv6 mode".

 

When connected via PPPoE, these same settings don't work. When I set IPv6 Setup to DHCPv6-PD it does complete the Prefix field automatically (and it's correct) but the other fields remain blank (except Gateway which sets itself to "::"). Under IPv6 DHCP I have the same settings as before. IPv6 is not functional, e.g. Geekzone doesn't get the IPv6 logo and https://ipv6-test.com tells me that IPv6 connectivity is "not supported".

 

I was able to use IPv6 over PPPoE with my previous ISP (Voyager) with this same router, although I didn't note down the specific settings I was using. Quic's setup guide says that DHCPv6-PD is the correct mechanism so I'm not sure what I'm missing here. Can anyone enlighten me?

That sounds right and I don’t think anything sounds wrong with your setup. Nothing really wrong using IPoE though. 

 

I don’t personally have a Synology however to test.

Going by your other thread, I'd suggest the Synology has difficulty with some configs.

OK, putting this on the back-burner for now. I have a support ticket open with Synology around the DHCP issue, and although I'm not holding my breath I'll still wait and see whether it goes anywhere.

Perhaps I should have been, as the issue is now resolved.

And the solution was??





Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

To be clear, the DHCP issue has been resolved. With that working, I no longer care about PPPoE :)
