Connecting to Comcast with IPv6
So I am replacing my Asus rt-ac87u with the ProSafe firewall. The Asus is reconfigured to be just an access point. Everything is up with the exception of ipv6. From what I am seeing/reading, there ...
Hi brianandrus,
Welcome to the community! :)
I believe the Prefix Delegation box can only be selected when you choose the Stateless Address Auto Configuration. Kindly check pages 40-42 of the FVS318Gv2 reference manual here.
What is the current firmware version of your FVS318Gv2?

DaneA,
I have firmware 4.3.3-8.
The things I am finding odd are:
With Stateless Address Auto Configuration with Prefix Delegation:
WAN: fe80::a62b:8cff:fef9:b7b3/64
LAN: 2601:642:c202:4451:a62b:8cff:fef9:b7b2 / 64, fc00::1 / 64, fe80::a62b:8cff:fef9:b7b2 / 64
RADVD IPv6 Prefix: 2601:642:c202:4451::
On my computer, I am getting:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix: netgear.com
IPv6 Address: 2601:642:c202:4451:819c:6405:9ca3:50b0
Temporary IPv6 Address: 2601:642:c202:4451:448:a9a8:7720:aeaf
Link-local IPv6 Address: fe80::819c:6405:9ca3:50b0%4
IPv6 Default Gateway: fe80::a62b:8cff:fef9:b7b2%4
IPv6 DNS Server:
If I switch the ISP settings to Stateful, I get a different WAN address of 2001:558:6045:1c:65b7:785d:9b1d:4002/64, fe80::a62b:8cff:fef9:b7b3/64I think the Stateless is right, but I am getting that link-local assigned to the lan and it is being announced as the gateway, which does not work.

Thanks
