Flint 2 IPv6 Help?

Post by Deadite »

Recently got the flint 2. I was using the stock firmware (openwrt based) which is decent. Decided to put Gargoyle on it for the adaptive QoS (T-mobile home internet, speeds vary a lot). I'm still messing with that, but that's another topic lol. My question is the stock firmware has ipv6 passthrough, with Gargoyle I can see it, but it doesn't seem to be pushing to my xbox. With the stock flint firmware it does show ipv4/ipv6 in the xbox network settings. With Gargoyle its just showing ipv4 (w/ moderate NAT). Gaming is notorious for having NAT issues, ipv6 reduces that so there's no double NAT. Do I need to manually push it to the xbox? Really liking the more simplistic interface of gargoyle so far. Apologies if this is a pretty basic question/answer. I've been out of the networking loop for a while lol.

Under Connection->Basic have you set WAN IPv6 to DHCP?

You need to host screenshots externally and link them here, if that’s what you tried to do

Yes that's right.
Are any other devices getting IPv6 and it is just the xbox having trouble? Or is nothing getting it?

On the Connection->DHCP page what do you have enabled as far as IPv6?

Ahh, so you’re not getting any prefix delegation.
This is one of the few cases where you might need to set some options I disabled.

You need to set dhcpv6 and router advertisements to “relayed” on the DHCP page.
You can do this via the command line or in the browser by removing the “disabled” flag from the dropdown options in the browser console. Right Click -> Inspect Element.

After setting these and saving, reboot the router and check again your android device and Xbox.

Even once setting both of these options we might need to add another config item manually but one step at a time.

Do you need better instructions than the above or are you comfortable?
