Yeah,
I'm pretty sure I don't have IPV6 now looking at my settings. Just need a time when no-one is using anything to try again with ipv6 disabled.

I dont think I do either, I was looking at the status screen where it shows IPv6 address, the other sections dont like yours mognog, here are my
screen grabs of the same windows you have shown for reference.

Im sure I had IPv6 working on the Sky router as it showed my laptop, my PC and daughters macbook all connected in the IPv6 column all with IPv6
addresses, I should have taken a screen grab of it before disconnecting it.

Im hopefully getting sky q in a few weeks, as I have to get it set up with skys new q hub (as part of the T&C's ) I will take some screen grabs
off that before I switch back to the 8900 and see what Billion fan thinks.

Also check to see if 'IPv6 for this service' for your PTM >> IPOE interface is enabled (you can edit the wan under Configuration >> WAN >> WAN Service, then edit the PTM >> IPOE interface and check to see you have ticked the 'IPv6 for this service' option)

Yea, did it when I originally set the router up.


mognog, Im guessing you still havnt got yours running as a 1 box solution yet as I see you have no line rate speeds.

Correct but that's only because I haven't retried with the IPV6 off yet as I'm trying to cause minimal disruption to the network (cant be doing with moaning teenagers! ). I may have a go again tonight.

If you want any screen grabs off mine then give me a shout, im sure its something and nothing stopping yours from working

Yay, one box solution sorted!

I think it may have been unchecking the ipv6 option that did it. Although what confuses me is that when in Ethernet mode talking to the BT Openreach fibre Modem the ipv6 option was checked and that method worked just fine.

It did however take 54 minutes to suddenly work (see the connection time on the screen shot). Also notice the release button, connection time and DNS disappeared from the the Ethernet version once connection was made. This makes me wonder if I had released and/or deleted the Ethernet Interface then may be it would be quicker than 54 minutes to connect?
Either way I am now happy
