Previous to this build 51043, I did not usually do a reset on my R7000P router and with the build updates I maintained IPv6 WAN and LAN. With this build, I decided to start fresh and did a reset. I obtained a WAN IPv6 address, but no WAN IPv6 address. This is both with Verizon FiOS and Comcast Xfinity. I did a Google Search and found this article which allowed me to get a LAN IPv6 address.
That post basically does a manual setting on ipv6, based on teh pictures it disables all of the ipv6 settings... and puts them into dnsmasq... while not wrong ... just makes it more complicated.
The intent of IPv6 is to have one address per device so your router should only have one address. You can setup NAT using IPv6 but DD-WRT does not support it.
Are any of your LAN clients getting IPv6 addresses? It looks a though you are doing stateless configuration but did you ask for a prefix delegation?

As I mentioned previously, I was getting IPv6 with prefix delegation of 56 for Verizon and 64 for Comcast without have to do this. After the reset, IPv6 on the LAN stopped working for all my clients. I really am not that familiar with the script I am using. If you know of a simpler way of getting the LAN to obtain IPv6, I would be willing to try it.

I tried looking up your question on Google but it didn't help. With my very limited understanding on the LAN BR0 it just shows a unique IPv6 address for each device.
just to let you know that VPN and some restrictions/accelerations, do not work good with ipv6 ...so its not a shining gold as it looks like.. _________________ Atheros

I can't seem to get IPv6 working after doing a reset after the latest update. I'm on Comcast/Xfinity and had it working for the longest time. I tried the settings in the first post, but that doesn't seem to have done anything. I still only have an IPv4 address in the upper right of my router GUI. Anybody have IPv6 working with Xfinity?

In addition to Verizon FiOS which has IPv6 with this script. I also am testing Comcast internet. Previously IPV6 worked with this script now it does not. In an older post I had another script that worked now it also doesn't work. Changes either in Comcast or DD-WRT must have contributed to this.
