IPV6 on WNDR3800

Hi there, I installed the IPV6 firmware a while back and thought it was working, because I managed to get it to log in with the VLAN settings and I saw IPV6 address's on the status page.
Started playing with it again recently and discovered IPV4 works but IPV6 doesn't, not according to
http://test-ipv6.com/ or https://ipv6-test.com/.
I fired up the TP-link vr1600v supplied by Internode, and enabled IPV6 on that, and that seems to work. On the TP link there was an option to choose SLAAC or DHCPV6, SLAAC seems to work while DHCPV6 doesn't(I didn't manage to get it to work). What do I need to check on Gargoyle to see what Gargoyle is using?

On WAN Gargoyle should be using both SLAAC and DHCPv6 via udhcp6c.
On LAN Gargoyle offers DHCPv6 only to clients

I managed to get DHCPV6 to work on the TP link, not sure what I did different, I think disabling the adapter and then re enabling may have helped.

Under Internet / WAN on Gargoyle
next to the isp login details there is
Connect via DHCPV6
and below there is a space for a IP address, which I presume should be a IPV6 address which is empty, despite the status page showing a number of IPV6 address's though none seem to line up with what see when I use the TP link.

There something else going on as well, randomly out of the blue, it loses internet, and I can no longer ping the router. All the lights look normal. Reboot doesn't help and my only choice is factory reset.

After another factory reset and reconfigure. I appear to have working IPV6 on Gargoyle.

ifstatus wan
ifstatus wan6
ifstatus lan

The IP on the Connection Basic screen is for the IP given to the WAN6 interface, which is not always given depending on ISP.
It isn't the delegated IPv6 address, which is given to the LAN interface instead.
