Has anyone else on Slingshot notice that the IPv6 has stopped functioning since the transition to the 2 Degrees IP addressing?

I can't specifically pinpoint the date, but that is the only event that feels like it correlates with when it stopped working. It was working fine on Slingshot IP addressing.

Have tried the obvious of restarting Router, restarting ONT, restarting devices. Still no-go.

Hi, I don't believe there have been any changes to the Slingshot brand that may have caused this. If you DM me I'll see if anything stands out on your account.

Regards,

Chris

Thanks to Chris' support, the issue has been resolved.

It looks like the Slingshot branded router we are using here had the generic firmware from Netgear loaded onto it. Not sure why/how it was working with Ipv6 before, or if another flatmate loaded the generic one recently... but after switching back to the Vocus firmware (which they were able to do remotely), IPv6 fired back into life and all devices are connecting as expected.

Thanks again Chris!
