GMail, Steam downloads and other issues

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
#1

Ahoy friends.
Currently i got my OpenWRT device running fine, running OpenWRT on x86 and load-balancing using mwan3. Now i am experiencing some issue since i am using mwan3.
When i try to start Steam downloads, sometimes they do not start, with error code "Connection timed out".
Everything else works fine, browsing and so on.
When i try to check emails on my phone, update the weather forecast, getting eBay notifications, they all do not work, or only get updated when i switch to mobile data.

What is the issue for that, or how can i troubleshoot? Is a DNS issue a possible cause?

EDIT: I got IPv6 enabled as well as IPv6 DNS. Unfortunately IPv6 load balancing is still disabled, can this be a potential issue?

Disable peer DNS and configure a major public DNS provider:
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/base-system/dhcp_configuration#upstream_dns_provider

If this doesn't help, then try decreasing MTU.

Thanks very much for your help.
I think this issue was related to the misconfig of my mwan3 IPv6 setup. Now it's working fine.

Hey haha unfortunately the issue has returned for some reason.
Here some example, when i try to ping google.de, nothing happens.
Same for traceroute.
I think the issue is not related to mwan3.

ping google.de
PING google.de(fra07s30-in-x2003.1e100.net (2a00:1450:4001:803::2003)) 56 data bytes

Very interesting here in case of traceroute the latency, so seems like the problem is inside of my network, because it doesnt reach anything outside of the network. So i think something inside the network or my OpenWRT device is misconfigured.

The first hop shown below is my WAN Interface.

traceroute to google.de (2a00:1450:4001:803::2003), 30 hops max, 80 byte packets
 1  2001-4dd0-4ed6-10-0-0-0-1.ipv6dyn.netcologne.de (2001:4dd0:4ed6:10::1)  0.276 ms  0.246 ms  0.227 ms

  • Please refrain from 2 threads that relate to the same issue
  • Have you tried both connections separately (i.e. not using mwan3)?
  • To be clear, what are you load balancing?
