My WAN IPv6 is not receiving an address from my service provider.
My service provider (Comcast/Xfinity) recently perform an upgrade to our area. My WAN IPv4 and IPv6 worked fined prior to their upgrade however, my WAN IPv6 stopped working after the upgrade. I am only be assigned an IPv4 address. Mind you that I made zero router modifications before or after their service (infrastructure) upgrade.
Here is a screen shot from BEFORE the service upgrade:
Here is a screen shot from AFTER the service upgrade:
I have tried:
- Deleting the WAN6 enterface and re-creating it - DID NOT WORK
- Reset to openWRT factory defaults - DID NOT WORK
I'm in a real pissing contest with Comcast/Xfinity support right now. They swear up and down they are answering DHCPv6 client requests. I don't think they are but I'm not sure how to prove it either way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
