Router/Version: Asus RT-N18U/Rev. A1
File/Kernel: DD-WRT v3.0-r63461 std (01/22/26)
Previous/Reset: DD-WRT v3.0-r63391 std (01/17/26)/No
Mode/Status: Gateway/IPv6 is not working properly.

Issues/Errors:
IPv6 using Dnsmasq IPv6 Settings
Configuration
Enable IPv6 : Enable
Type : DHCPv6 with Prefix Delegation
Prefix Length : 64
MTU : 1452
DHCPv6 Server Daemon : Enable
Dnsmasq IPv6 Settings
IPv6 Router Advertisement (RA) : Enable

IPv6 connectivity will cripple after the firmware is upgraded or the router is rebooted.
To revive IPv6 connectivity, I have to press "Save & Apply" button in IPv6 tab.
r63230 is the last working ipv6 build for the router. edited

As always, the Quantenna chip has its own quirks. This is a closed source chipset
There is no way to install a channel.
But you can disable 5.0 GHz. @mpgalaxy hack "If you set the radio mode to station bridge and disable the network mode, the 5GHz device will turn off completely even after reboot."

If your router's light turns red, don't worry. Internet connection is ok.

Thank you BS and gurus!
