Hello Amma

Have you tried reserving the Ip address of the unit connected to the extender in the router?

Hi Darren,

thanks for your message. How can I do that? My setup is as follows.

My router is connected to a cable modem (bridge mode) from my provider. His WAN interface gets an IPv6 address via DHCPv6 and a /56 prefix. On the inside are three interfaces, each watching the WAN for a /64 prefix an doing SLAAC for address configuration. On one of those interfaces the repeater is connected. On wich device do I have to reserve the IP?

Thanks,
Amma

    Hi Darren,
    
    there is absolute no way to configure a static (reserved) IP address because on the extender are no configuration options at all for IPv6.
    
    Thanks,
