IPV6 settings for BT + R8000

thanks everyone. nothing ive done from all the threads ive read here and elsewhere seems to resolve this. because im not using the homehub (i'm using their openreach modem + this router) BT are being less than helpful, with their links just providing generic info about ipv6.

In my case, I just let the router's wizard set up the connection. It worked as expected. But I am on DSL.
