Nighthawk x4s -IPV6 Dual Stack Lite (DS-Lite)

Hi all,

can someone explain me how to Setup the router for a PPPoE FTTH Connection with IPV6 Dual Stack Lite (DS-Lite) ?
I have put in the IPV6 Login credentials for pppoe, get an IPv6 Adress , can open IPv6 Internet sites but no IPv4 adresses .
How can i define the Dual Stack Lite (DS-Lite) for the IPv4?

Kind regaards, Carsten

    Which Netgear device are you using?

     

    There are several "x4s" devices.

     

    What are you trying to do?

      I use the Netgear Nighthawk X4S AC2600 Smart Wifi Router Model: 7800, newest Firmware.


      The Router worked well for the pur IPv4 login.
      I put in the login credentials for a pppoe IPV6 login, get an IPv6 Address, but no IPv4 Adress entry for the DS-Lite.

        What specific version of firmware do your have installed?  The "newest" does not allow confirmation as their may be other versions.

         

        In the configuration of your router, under Advanced -> Advanced Setup -> IPv6 do you have IPv6 enabled?  When enabled, there is a drop down menu that sets the connection type.  PPPoE is one of the options.
