IPv6 Query - Sky Fibre & Asus Router

Space Monkey · 22 Oct 2015 at 00:42

Hi all,

Tonight I changed from my Sky SR102 modem router, to an HG612 modem & an Asus RT-N66U router, it all seems to work OK but my query is that my Sky hub showed IPv4 & IPv6 in the admin pages and I'm only getting IPv4 on the Asus?

I've enabled IPv6 on the Asus, but some of the entries aren't populated and I fail the IPv6 online tests?

Any ideas please, what do I need to do?

Thanks

Are Sky ready for IPv6 yet? What IPv6 address did you get with the Sky hub? Does it start with fe80? If it does then that is just the link-local address and you're not getting an address from Sky yet.

As far as I know you have to opt in for the ipv6 trial which I think is currently closed.
