R7000 ipv6
Hi, I really need some step by step help. My isp gave me a IPV4CGNAT / IPV6 connection. He also provided a optical modem and a router. The router doesn't have the ability to make a VPN. So for th...
Thanks for this reply.
The router my ISP gave me can't be bridged.
It is really a strange thing to provide a router with CGNAT IPV4, no VPN abillity and no bridge mode, isn;t it ?
DMZ is a good option but i can also make a hole in the firewall for an IP adress.
Isn't that more or less the same ?
But, there seems to be another problem.
My NG is on LAN2 of the ISP router. But the ISP router doesn't find my router as an IPV6 adress, it does for IPV4.
Even stranger is that it finds on LAN2 all the devices that are connected via wifi to the NG router as IPV6 as well as IPV4.
So, somehow the NG router isn't capable of saying " hello, i am here and i also speak trough ipv6".
I disabled DHCP for IPV6 on the ISP router and enabled SLAAC. I have read somewhere that this is the simplest way. However, when DHCP was enabled the problem was the same.
I think i need to configure the NG router to let it be found but the IPV6 settings page...i don't understand it. I am a bit of a network dummy.
So perhaps, please help me to fill the settings page for IPV6 first.
I forgot to mention the firmware: V1.0.11.126_10.2.112 for NG.
When enabling the DMZ on the ISP router, I am putting a complete subnet in the DMZ.
The link you presented was for DMZ on the NG router.
Same principle for the ISP modem regarding the DMZ. Just put the IPv4 address the NG router gets from the ISP modem into the ISP modems DMZ.
You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information regarding IPv6 configurations.The NG router doesn't get an ipv6 ip adress
My ISP gives us both an IPV4 and IPV6 address. But I have found the R7000 works for about a day maybe with the IPV6 address and then just stops announcing IPV6 to the LAN and all the devices stop using IPV6.
So even if you do get an IPV6 address, it may not work reliiably. I have a ASUS router that I tested and that kept IPV6 going for weeks while it was the gateway just to confirm it was working.
Different ISPs have different ways to hand out the addresses but my IPV6 was PPPoE with the same credientials as IPV4. The auto settings didn't pick this up so you had to set it manually though.
