Router: WRT3200ACM
Firmware: 48567
I'm trying to get IPv6 set up on my router. A while back I had it working, but I think Comcast changed something on their end, and I haven't been able to configure my router properly for IPv6 since. I've tried different builds, clearing the nvram, and every configuration I could find scouring this forum, google, etc.
With my current configuration, dd-wrt is showing an IPv6 address in the top right corner of the GUI, my client devices are getting IPv6 addresses, and I can ping6 other clients on the LAN, but test-ipv6 is failing. Here's some info about my configuration: please let me know if you need more info to help.

Try a traceroute6 2620:fe::9 and see where it stops.
If you run Windows the command is "tracert"
Yes, it does.
Ran traceroute: It stops at the IPv6 address that's assigned to my router. I'm guessing that means my LAN is setup as IPv6, but that doesn't match what's being issued by Comcast? No clue how to fix that lol.
(Also, for anyone who is following along in the future, the command in terminal is traceroute6 if you're on a Mac.)
Also is your ISP using Type: DHCPv6 with Prefix Delegation or another type? I would try match their service/setup in DD-WRT
Everything I've been able to find in the forums says people had success with Comcast/Xfinity using Prefix Delegation.
Stupid question: what's the best way to find out what they're using? Their customer support is atrocious. Should I take their modem/router out of bridge mode, and see what it's configuration says?
