Yes, Your Link and its instructions worked. Devices connected to OpenWRT Wirelessly are now able to ping IPv6 addresses.
The ONT is on Route Mode (Not Bridge Mode)
I am adding screenshots for people who wish to achieve this using LuCI

Just ran Speedtest (Multiple websites) with IPv6 switched on, and with IPv4 Only.
The IPv6 speedtest results are very low compared to IPv4 Only.
Does the IPv6 impact Speed?
Is IPv6 Routing of BSNL Bad?
 
@sloj
No, I did not before, but repeated the test with the IPv6 variant of the Okla Speedtest.
Results indicate that speedtest with IPv6 is about 25 to 35% Slower than Speedtest with IPv4.
 
I tested just now and there is no difference on my end on both v4 and v6. Could just be ISP side issue on your end. Did you use BSNL servers to test on speedtest?
 
Cloudflare just tests speed to their network via ISP. Use speedtest.net and select ISP servers because that's what every ISP promises, speed inside their network. Anything beyond ISP's own network and speed is not guaranteed.
 
@sloj,
I tested with Speedtest too. They revealed the same difference.
I uploaded Cloudflare as it shows the quality of the connection much better compared to the Speedtest.net
 
Like I said above, you are testing your connection to a server. Depending on what you do, it will vary from server to server, based on their location and routes. If full speed is what you want then share your tests and results with ISP for a resolution.
