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. đ
Update:
It has been three days now with a stable IPv6 connectivity. I'm not absolutely sure if disabling "IP Helper" on its own did the trick. I also had removed the custom DNS addresses at the same time in the router settings and enabled "Get Dynamically from ISP". I elected to input custom DNS addresses in my computers and android phones. Maybe Telus wasn't playing nice with my router or vice versa. Or that change in conduction with disabling IP Helper did it. Everything is working and staple so I'm not about to go back and mess with configuration settings at this point. I've spent way too much time on this problem already. So to possibly help out someone with a TP-Link router and/or IPv6 connection issues, these are my router settings and a link to a troubleshooting site that may help solve your problem.
TP-Link Archer AX55 and probably other TP-Link router as well.
(WAN)
IPv6: Enable
Internet Connection Type: Dynamic IP (SLAAC/DHCPv6)
(Advance Settings)
Get IPv6 Address: DHCPv6
Prefix Delegation: Enable
DNS Address: Get Dynamically from ISP
(IPv6 LAN)
Assigned Type: SLAAC+Stateless DHCP
(Click SAVE)
(Click REBOOT)
Probably not a bad idea to reboot your Telus modem as well.
Here is a link to a IPv6 troubleshooting guide for no IPv6 connection or a like my problem, connection dropping after a few hours. If all this doesn't work for you, hire a professional.
