ACT Fibernet Bangalore - IPv6 setup question for TPLink Archer C1200 V3.0

[simon.george]

I use TP-Link archer c1200
I also have an openwrt router (built with raspberry pi), if I use that router, ipv6 works (I can ping google.com (ipv6 address) successfully.

Why don't you ask ACT to push IPv6 settings from the backend and see what they do differently
They do have TR-069 iirc.

Hmm, I think it this router (TP-Link archer c1200) does not ipv6 fully. Because with openwrt everything works smoothly.
Next time, when I switch to openwrt I will see what setting on them.

Just providing an update.
Today when I check IPv6 started working without I making any changes in router. Test your IPv6. shows 10/10 . Also pinging google.com now works getting replies from google.com's IPv6 adddress.

TP-Link Archer C1200 v3.0 config is

Internet Connection Type : PPPoE
Get IPv6 Address : DHCPv6
Prefix Delegation : Enable
DNS Address : Get dynamically from ISP

LAN
DHCPv6

We get non NAT IPv6 address for each device. That’s so cool.
Since TP-Link router model I have does not support firewall rules, I cannot host anything and expose to internet.
With an openwrt router , I can solve that problem.

@simon.george Can you please tell me if you are able to host plex/jellyfin now? Also could you please share your openwrt settings and steps to enable ipv6 and assign per device address. Thank you.

sorry I am not a regular here. There is no special setting you need to do in opernwrt to enable ipv6. Default openwrt install would enable it.
With Ipv6 you can host any service at home by using openwrt firewall rules.
I have wireguard VPN, website, nas, etc hosted at home with ipv6 only.
