Hi, can you please share the IPv6 settings here?

Here's the OpenWrt WAN interface config, I deleted the WAN6 interface as it's not needed in case of PPPoE.

config interface 'wan'
        option ifname 'eth1'
        option proto 'pppoe'
        option password 'xyz'
        option ipv6 'auto'
        option username 'abc'
        option peerdns '0'

Oh ok you're running it on a WRT router. I am interested in set up with the correct settings with ie DHCP6, prefix delegation and related settings. Thanks though.

Some observations. When Airtel enable bridging on Lan port 4 (on ZTE F670L v9.0 atleast), the other 3 LAN ports are disabled. IPv6 works only for ICMP and not much else on OpenWrt router by default, I'm still working on finding a fix for this. So for example I can ping Ipv6 address of Google DNS(2001:4860:4860::8888) but can't telnet port 443, same goes for https://ipv6.icanhazip.com and every other URL pointing to an IPv6 address. All works well if I directly connect the PC to the LAN4 port of the ONT and ONT is making PPPoE connection.

@rohancyberdude i am having Nokia router in Chandigarh and not able to get ipv6. I tried dual stack option but no success.

even on bridge mode its not working. Basically they might not have enabled ipv6 for Chandigarh server
