Hi all,

Does anyone know what's unifi IPv6 setting? Currently I have this network setup as following:-
ISP - TMBox/1st router (tplink, IPV4+IPV6) ----LAN----> 2nd router (asus mesh, IPV4 only) <-- pair with mesh wifi ---> 3rd router (asus mesh, IPV4 only)
Can someone help on this? What kind of IPV6 setting should I configure on my 2nd asus mesh router?

No need to set anything IPv6 related for the 2nd and 3rd router. Not unless you're doing something funky.

Is your second router configured as a bridge or a separate subnet?
If it is a separate subnet I don’t think there is any way to properly support IPv6 for the devices connected to the second/third router.

Reason being that AFAIK, you only get a /64 IPv6 subnet Prefix from the ISP for your 1st router, which is not supposed to be subnetted any further.

I don’t know if any of the ISPs will allocate something like a /56 IPv6 prefix to home fiber users. Actually I’m interested in the answer to this question myself. I planned to move to a new place soon, so I didn’t bother to check with my current home fiber provider.

See https://serverfault.com/questions/714890/ip...-work-around-it

Overseas got. UniFi no, well maybe for corporate customers. I emailed TM last year to see if they can give me a /56. Cannot they say. I wanted to use it for 2 vlans. One ipv4+v6 and one ipv6 only. Anyway it wasn't really important, just for fun.

Yup.. it is separate subnet. I tried to disable DHCP on my mesh router (2nd/3rd), but the mesh feature will no longer function. That why I'm stucking here.

/64 is the smallest subnet you can use with autoconf. TM only gives a /64. You can try asking them for more. Also routers will normally use link-local for LAN traffic.
