I have an OpenWRT router that uses WiFi to connect to an upstream Starlink router. By default it uses ipv4 connection, but does not get an ipv6 address.
What are the key steps for getting both ipv4/ipv6 on an WiFi WAN connection? Just like if I had used a wired WAN connection!
Starlink has IPv6. You should just need to set wan6 Device @wwan (or whatever your upstream wifi network is) and it will pick up an IPv6 address. The @ syntax means to aliais v4 and v6 to the same interface.
I am a bit confused. In the GUI I have opened up Interfaces >> wwan
Device is presently "unspecified". Do I need to replace that with @wwan?
Create a new interface named wwan6. Set the protocol to dhcpv6 and the device to @wwan by typing a custom name into the box at the bottom of the list. Add wwan6 to the wan firewall zone.
Thank you. I will give it on a try and see what I can get going.
No the device of wwan (the v4 wan) is unspecified because the wifi configuration system will dynamically choose a name at runtime for it. Using @wwan for the v6 wan means to wait until wwan is created then attach a DHCPv6 client to the same device.
