Configure router for IPv6?
I have a Netgear R6700v3 How do I get IPv6 addresses from Cox? It has a bunch of options. I've tried them all, none seem to work.
Forum Discussion
"Most routers should work if you set IPv6 to auto-configure. " - it isn't.
"It should detect DHCPv6 if set to Auto-detect" - it doesn't.
"Should also ask, what size prefix delegation are you requesting?" - I'm not "requesting" anything. Whatever they send, probably a /64
Can I please get an actual answer, not vague guesses? There are settings in there. I do not know what they should be. Can someone just tell me what settings have to be applied to make this work on Cox?
Going to need more data from your side on what exactly those different settings are. Can you upload a screenshot? Also, you could be a tad nicer. All we can do is guess since none of us have your exact modem/gateway.
The settings are Disabled, Auto Detect, 6to4 Tunnel, Pass Through, Fixed, DHCP, PPPoE, Auto Config, and 6rd Tunnel. Probably the same as every other Netgear router... I didn't build my own.
There is going to be one right answer. If someone has that answer, I'd appreciate their sharing it. But saying "It should work" when t doesn't isn't helpful.Set it for DHCP and change your LAN setup to autoconfig.
Besides if you look at your router's IPv6 address on WAN, you will see COX provided an IPv6 address to you, turn your LAN to auto config.
Auto-config should work for most cases. It'll basically try every method of obtaining a prefix delegation until one is successful.
