WN3100RPv2 not providing an IPv6 address to clients?

I just bought an WN3100RP WiFi Range Extender and have configured it as an access point. While IPv4 works, IPv6 does not.

 

As part of my home internet service I get an IPv6 address, but the WN3100RP wifi extender does not seem to be providing an IPv6 address to connected clients. Can anyone suggest how to resolve this, since I need an IPv6 address for this to be useful?

 

If I disconnect the device and try wifi straigh to my Freebox then I get an IPv6 address, but not if I go through the Netgear device. 

 

ISP: Free.fr (France)

Hardware version: WN3100RPv2

Firmware version: V1.0.0.18

Client OS tested with: macOS 10.12.4

    Hello Ajmas

     

     

    You could try assigning static ips to your devices on the router see if that will help.
