Clients on Orbi Wi-Fi receive an IPv6 default gateway from an Orbi unit
I have a similar problem... My BGW320 is set to passthrough to my ORBI RBE770+2 satellites... Clients on Orbi Wi-Fi receive an IPv6 default gateway from an Orbi unit (fe80::ca10:2...
My BGW320 is set to passthrough to my ORBI RBE770+2 satellites...
How do I stop the Orbi from advertising IPv6 in AP mode?
Passthrough normally means that the BGW320 is not routing. Which normally would require the Orbi to be set up as a router, not AP.
Can you clarify the setup?
fe80::ca10:2fff:fe40:e8a5
This is just a link-local address, and shouldn't be related to your issue.
an fd2a:7f4:ca8c::/64 ULA prefix, and an IPv6 DNS server fd2a:7f4:ca8c::1.
What ipv6 DNS resolver are you seeing when directly connected to the BGW320?
Do you get a response when you ping the ULA?
Thanks for your interest in helping me with my connection struggles...
I am not very smart, but I am trying.
this is the setup
I am wanting to use the Firewalla to get rid of the bufferbloat that is creating some caos during work calls at home...
If I put the Orbi in Router mode, together with Firewalla in router mode as well, all seem to work. But then I get double NAT. And Firewalla can't control each and every device, it sees the Orbi as the "main device" and I can't set rules of priority to the work devices.
Smart Queue doesn’t work when the Firewalla is in bridge mode, as far as I understand.
