We have seen a few issues with Asus with their IPV6 stack. Also lots of reports of speed issues with some models of Asus when using 1Gig lines.

was commented in the other thread, but he's using the DSL variant which doesn't do CTF at all..

I did a little experimenting and hard reset of the ASUS DSL router to factory settings, then reupdated to the firmware supplied by ASUS, then connected to cable again and got much better cabled speeds: ca. 800 down and 515 up. On Wifi got 376 down and 323 up. Slingshot's router is faster cabled but slower wifi.

Just an update.

IPv6 is rollout out over the next couple of weeks.

How will we actually know when it is live?

Will it also require a firmware update at our end? I have the NF18ACV on fibre, running NF18ACV.NC.Vocus-R6B043.EN. Assume that's the latest?

Thanks!

It will just show up one day when your router authenticates. I can confirm its not yet going (just did a router reboot and only picking up IPv4)

Did you need to restart your router or ONT? or did it just come through?

Which area of Auckland?

I find it a little weird that central Auckland (CBD) doesn't appear to have it yet?

EDIT: Just read your username... maybe not even auckland haha.

I'm quite interested in this as well. I'm disappointed that the CBD wasn't one of the first enabled. Curious to know how they've worked out their selection criteria.

Maybe smaller/less customer saturated areas, to iron out the bugs?

We've had it active here for about a week, and it hasn't been very reliable for me with a Slingshot-supplied NF18ACV.

The router appears to stop routing IPv6 traffic after 2-3 days. Sometimes a reboot seems to fix it, other times it doesn't. Devices still have v6 addresses, but none can actually connect to anything - ping times out and trace routes only show 1-2 hops or give a "no route to host" error. The router itself can still ping v6 addresses fine according to the "Ping Diagnostic" feature.
