Nighthawk r6700v3
I recently switched to starlink and I don't have a ipv4 public address as they use a cgnat system. I have a server setup for personal use behind my router and I cannot connect to it using the port forwarding anymore.
I've learned that I can use IPv6 with starlink and I have the router setup with ipv6 enabled. it is getting a WAN IPv6 address assigned from starlink. But it is not passing a IPV6 address to the LAN. I'm not sure if there is something wrong with my router or if its to old and I need a newer model to do what I want to do.

Check with starlink on what IPv6 is supported, required or configuration is needed on the router.
FYI, R6700 series is kinda old now so IPv6 on the router may not be up to specs for IPv6 configurations of today. May need something newer.
Use the ISP router if one is available.
