Hello all,

I moved overseas and took my 2degrees FritzBox 7530 with me.

My new ISP is IPv6 enabled, but I dont get the IPv6 address, so I RTFM to find I should have IPv6 tab under "Account Information":

https://fritzhelp.avm.de/help/en/FRITZ-Box-7530-avme/avme/021/hilfe_internet_ipv6_aktivieren

But I don't have it.

I seem to remember someone here talking about 2degrees intentionally removing this tab to prevent people from changing IPv6 configuration - is this correct?

In any case - my question is:

How do I get IPv6 tab back?

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Andrej

If it was indeed intentionally removed by 2D, then maybe flashing non 2D firmware should bring the tab back?

Sorry I have no idea where you could find non 2D firmware.

I don’t use a Fritzbox anymore so can’t check, but I’m pretty sure there is an advanced mode toggle in the top right somewhere which might make the tab appear for you.

Maybe I should try recovery? https://download.avm.de/fritzbox/fritzbox-7530/other/recover/

Or will that brick my 2degrees issued 7530....??

Thanks for your advice

Enable advanced view.

Thanks for your suggestion, ehem ... Spyware. :) Unfortunately I do not have that option:

Also, from https://en.avm.de/service/knowledge-base/dok/FRITZ-Box-7530/1652_Enabling-the-Advanced-View-in-the-user-interface/

"Starting with FRITZ!OS 7.50, the Advanced View no longer exists and additional settings options for advanced users are displayed in the Standard View."

Thanks

Advanced view is no longer a feature in newer releases.

From what I recall it's very difficult to get rid of the built-in ISP control, and their back doors into your router. Just installing AVM firmware will not remove the control, I had a similar problem on mine when I came to Aus, except I was trying to disable IPv6. I just cannot remember what I did as its a good few years ago. pretty sure it needed different firmware and a factory reset (not a recovery).

Did a little more digging, you want to make sure TR-069 is disabled:

Not much help to the OP, but my 2D 7530 does have the IPv6 tab. Modem supplied early 2020.

on mine, TR-069 is disabled - Wombat1's suggestion.

I was wondering about that ... however:

"It may not be possible to adjust these settings on FRITZ!Boxes supplied by internet service providers. If this is the case, the options are grayed out."

Needles to say, mine is grayed out and enabled so I cannot turn it off.

I tried re-installing current version from AVM, and downgrading is not possible.

You say, no recovery.

So what "different firmware" can I try?

Much appreciated,

I think this menu will become available after you have installed the AVM firmware. If its not, try installing the AVM Beta SW or try the analog phone method. Good luck
