R7000p router has wan IPv6 but no lan IPv6
Hi all and thanks in advance if anyone has any suggestions.
My ISP stopped supporting my area and so I've switched to starlink who uses pesky cgnat. I am now trying to setup IPv6 on my R7000p to get around it. It appears to be working on the WAN side (starlink modem in bridge mode) and I have a wan IPv6 address, but the router appears unable to assign IPv6 addresses on the LAN side of my network. Under 'Router's IPv6 Address on LAN' it says "Not Available".
Settings I've tried:
Under 'LAN Setup' and 'IP Address Assignment' I have tried both "Use DHCP Server" and "Auto Config" with no success.
Under 'Internet Connection Type' I've tried all of them. "Auto Config" is the only options that gives my router an IPv6 WAN address. If I select "Pass Through" then my LAN devices do get IPv6 addresses, but my general internet speed slows to a crawl. I keep seeing the suggestion to use "DHCP" but then I don't get a WAN or LAN IPv6 address.
I'll attach a photo of settings to give an idea.

You'll need to get with the ISP for there help and information on what IPv6 configuration that is needed on the router.
Also be sure there is not router at the ISP modem or ONT.
Bizarre fault that I can only attribute to faulty hardware/firmware. Replaced now anyway.
