IPv6 configuration settings?
Short version, I have purchased own wireless router to replace the router functions of the Telus Gateway (T3200M). The gateway is currently being used as a modem only. Everything is working great (be...

Just a quick update. TP-Link technical support reached out to me via TP-Link Community (Web Forum). My lack of IPv6 connection was resolved in two mouse clicks on the IPv6 configuration page. Kudos to TP-Link for the follow up email asking me was everything working okay and if there was anything else they could help me out with. 😊

I don't mind at all.
"Get IPv6 Address" in WAN settings was changed to "DHCPv6"
An IPv6 connection was established but it turns out its transient. Disappears after a few hours. IPv6 Release/Renew causes a reconnection but again it doesn't last more than a few hours. I'm at a loss. I have TP-Link Canada chewing on it and I should receive word from them today or tomorrow. No sense contacting Telus again; they are not interested. The thing is, I don't know which end the problem is. With Telus or TP-Link. The TP-Link IPv6 router settings are a carbon copy of the Telus Gateway.
The only exception I can see is the LAN setting prefix length. its 56 in the Telus router and 64 in the TP-LINK. I have no idea if that makes any difference or not 😕.S.H.

Thanks, I have been setting up and tinkering with my new router, TP-Link AXE16000, and this has had me stumped. I've been able to get it working using the process you mentioned above but am having the exact same issue of it dropping. I have read that it should be 56 but I do not see a way of changing it from 64?
