WDR4300 IPv6 firmware needs some work. it's half baked.

Are you getting a LAN v6 prefix ?

Here (and for everyone else too):

Lolwhat ? No lah.

There is a beta firmware for the 8980 though with a working dual stack implementation.


That info is misleading. It does not work correctly at the moment.
They have a seperate WANv4 and WANv6 dialer. Sent some emails to them, we'll see how it turns out.
The latest WDR4300 firmware for MY, has VLAN support but no IPv6 support (although it states it does on their page).

It can get the WAN and LAN prefixes (separate from the standard v4 PPP).
However v6 only or "prefer-v6" sites won't load. youtube videos won't load for example. kame.net, microtik - not working.

Ly.net, test-ipv6 and even google v6 test shows "congrats" though. 50/50 working.

Chrome does too. Sometimes you need to force DNSv6 in the about:net-internals page. Choose DNS-->Enable IPv6

Same problem on the WDR4300 that i faced. I think it's a firmware issue.

Just had a quick test on the Dlink 615 (on OpenWRT though) and both facebook and youtube work fine.

For those with Facebook/Youtube video issues - try reducing your MTU to 1452.

I have a few friends with working dual stack connections. Some stock Unifi / Streamyx router/modems and some on 3rd party APs (belkin/TP Link) with either Open/DD WRT or manufacturer provided beta firmware

Friend on the OPEN WRT CPE suggested the MTU since he had that issue and was fixed after changing the MTU.

We need more reports and samples actually.

p/s: I'll try on mine after getting back tonight.

On Windows (vista/7) a quick disable and enable on the ethernet adapter gets rid of the old prefix.

Not for the first time, if you redial, it seems the old prefix is not removed.
I initially thought it was due to the half baked TP Link firmware, but it seems others are experiencing the same thing too.

With the current firmware available, it either goes v4 or v6. In the IPv6 section, there is anoter PPPoE dialog for you to login. If you have 2 valid logins, you can dial both v4 and v6 at the same time. The v6 is still terribly broken though.
Many emails to TP Link support but they are just "shaking legs/goyang kaki".

Stay away. It still doesn't have Dual Stack support.

Not quite.

A /64 prefix will yield 1 x IPv6 subnet, but it can host 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 IPv6 addresses
For the typical home scenario with one gateway/RG/AP, that one subnet and 2^64 hosts is good enough.
And since there is no concept of NAT in IPv6, all 2^64 hosts are globally routed.

/56 will give you 2^8 IPv6 subnets. For those inclined in having several subnets around the house.
IIANM, TM gives /56 for their biz packages.

The fine difference is one router, one subnet, but many publicly routed addresses VS one router, one subnet, one public address, and the rest behind NAT.

As i mentioned earlier, those inclined to subnet their home network further (the kitchen, room#1, room#2, room#3, wired, wireless for example) would definitely want more than a /64.

To anyone else wondering, a /64 is the smallest subnet allowable in IPv6. So a /64 will only give you one "network", whereas a /56 for example will give you 256 x /64 subnets. To which you can configure to your needs (routes/firewall rules/ACLs etc).

No lah. For biz accounts, you need to apply for v6 at TMPoint.
