Weird IPv6 DHCP using SXR80 with SXS80
Hi,
I found a weird behavior. After successfully connecting to WIFI, I get immediately a proper IPv4 address and all is fine. Looking forward to IPv6 (since more ISPs change to 6 only) I discovered a weird problem. A ping6 to the host is not possible. ifconfig shows only local address. Waiting a while I see a proper IPv6 address and everything works as expected. But the time I have to wait seems random to me (and maybe I trigger it by communicating in my network).
This behavior is ONLY when using the Netgears as Access Point.
- LAN: no problem
- WLAN connection to my Internet Router (FritzBox 7590): no problem
- WLAN to SX80: the described problem
Now, this is not only on my home - Same setup (NG as AP) at a different location: Exact Same behavior.
So for me is clear: Some is blocked by NG devices.
Any idea? (I ran out of it ;-)
Thx
Ralf
