Without a delegated /56, Orbi cannot assign additional /64s to LAN clients. So your devices get an address (likely via temporary leftover routes), but IPv6 routing is broken or incomplete, which is why websites fail to load.
Now, from Starlink’s website:
Starlink will allocate:
- One public IPv4 address for the customer’s wide area network (WAN), provisioned via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for routers/firewalls using IPv4.
- One IPv6 /64 prefix for the customer’s wide area network (WAN), provisioned via Stateless Address Auto Configuration (SLAAC) for routers/firewalls using IPv6.
- One IPv6 /56 prefix for the customer’s local area network (LAN), provisioned to routers capable of issuing a DHCPv6-PD request.
