Need help with "No default route present, overriding ra_lifetime!" log issue in OpenWrt

Hey everyone,

I keep getting the warning message "No default route present, overriding ra_lifetime!"
I've checked my IPv6 configuration and ensured that my ISP supports IPv6.

Any insights, suggestions, or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Update to the latest version ;- ) and perhaps one of these is helpful:

I have ra_default set to 2 (forced), and the warning is no longer there.

All seems good, right?

Seems so. Please mark the thread as solved!

Thank you for your help!
