Hey guys,

I got an email from 2degrees this morning saying that they were making account changes and shortly after my connection stopped working. After it came back I found my IPv6 was not working at all. It's very important for what I do and has been working for years, so I can only presume it has something to do with the account change.

Has anyone else got this?

I am using a mikrotik router, it still seems to get the prefix just no traffic can pass.

Have lodged a support request with them now... lets see.

I'm no-longer with 2degrees Broadband personally but I found that on a few connections I had to disable "Prefix-Only". Now the other problem is as from ~4mo ago I don't use a Mikrotik either :)

But IPv6 between networks is seriously not like for like. You can however use IPoE now which may net better results.

I found when I was migrated PPPoE just wouldnt work (IPv4 and IPv6). So switched over to IPoE.

I am running a Mikrotik too. I cannot remember if I had to make any IPv6 changes. Probably the interface the DHCP client had to listen on. I pretty much use Mikrotiks default firewall rules - have added a couple but none that would affect IPv6 at all.

Edit...

Oh I notice I have "address", as well as prefix, selected for the DHCPv6 Client and it does not look like you do:

I originally had my pool prefix length to /56 like you - but changed it to /64 for this so I could allocate another /64 for a wireguard VPN. So dont think that'll matter at all.

Awesome mate, I checked the address option and it worked straight away. Must be some configuration change on their end aftere the switchover.
