8800NL IPv6 on BT FTTC

Post by elwisty »

I am a bit confused. I have an 8800NL which I now use on BT Internet having shifted from PlusNet.

I have enabled IPv6 ( I think?) using the instructions and pictures elsewhere in the forum and if I use http://test-ipv6.com/ It gives me 10/10 for readiness and shows a public IPv6 address (see below). All my attached devices get IPv6 addresses.

However on the status page of the router, the line Default IPv6 Gateway / IPv6 Address is blank. I have restarted the router to no avail. My questions
a) Do I have IPv6 connectivity or not
b)If yes, why doesn't the address show up on the status page.
c)How else might I test my ipv6 connection - all the tests at test-ipv6 show as positive
d)What might I be doing wrong in the configuration. to produce these results

Thanks in advance

Yes you have IPv6 connectivity

It shows on the status page as 'LAN IPv6 Address'

You can only test it with a website

You are doing nothing wrong, its working fine
