IPv6 Connection issue

[flywire]

Internet Access Card - Green light: DHCP etc, Orange light: IPv6 connecting
Local Network card - Grey light (off): IPv6 Disabled

TG800, Gui Version 8.7.2

[flywire]

Same as before - Gui Version 8.7.6
Happy to test.

Ipv6 is really problematic...

On openwrt on this old base it think it's quite broken...

Also the configuration depends on the ISP... Hard to fix...

[gavindi]

I have a TG800 and I was able to get IPv6 working by changing the [config interface 'wan6'] section of /etc/config/network. It was originally:
option ifname 'atm_8_35'
and I changed it to:
option ifname 'pppoe-wan'

I think for any ppp connection, the pppoe-wan interface should be referenced and that is what gets the IP address. the ATM conduit in just the bridge to the other network.

The full section of /etc/config/network now looks like this:
config interface 'wan6'
option proto 'dhcpv6'
option reqopts '23 17'
option reqaddress 'force'
option noslaaconly '1'
option iface_464xlat '0'
option forceprefix '1'
option soltimeout '240'
option ifname 'pppoe-wan'
#option reqprefix '60'
option auto '1'

[flywire]

Tested and failed in vanilla rooted DJA0230 which was similar, wan6 section originally option ifname 'eth4'with no option auto '1'

@gavindi - would you mind copying the network file, adding a .txt extension and dragging it into a comment?

[gavindi]

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Here's my /etc/config/network file as requested

network.txt

[flywire]

Hmm, affected by device, firmware version and ISP config.

Attached:

Model: VBNT-V / DJA0230 Telstra - Smart Modem (Gen1)
Firmware: 17.2.0406-820-RC
Connection: ethernet
IPv6 status: not working

Default /etc/config/network file.

I have a Technicolor TG789vac V2 and have no idea how to get ipv6 working. I do however know how to login to the router. If anyone could PLEASE help with this id be mighty grateful.
Maybe there is a thread, I don't know I've looked buy can not see any.
Thanks in advance.

ISP? are you asking for IPv6 on WAN? to get it working you must setup the wan6 interface in /etc/config/network

[beany71]

Sorry. Dodo and yes on WAN

[FrancYescO]

do you have config by ISP on how to use IPv6? the modem was given to you by dodo?

[beany71]

No not from Dodo. From iinet. It has the option yes but won't connect to internet. Says plug Ethernet cable in.
I'll just buy a modem with ipv6
Thanks anyways
