I gave up with this frustrating mess of IPv6. After signing up on Tunnel Broker which was the easiest part I googled until my head hurt with nothing.
Finding this link here from Google I tried everything and I did get a Ipv6 address but every test failed with 0/10 and ipv6.google.com saying "Ping request could not find host ipv6.google.com. Please check the name and try again." I even rebooted the router and reset it more times than I can remember.
I hope that IPv4 never goes away because you got to have a computer science degree to figure this crap out. _________________ Netgear R7000

It doesn't work for me with builds after r29114. r29114 is okay for this for me.

Was this with RADVD on MS Windows machine?
1st try DNSMasq script provided in tut... When using ipv6, Windows prefers DNSv6, son to make windows happy try DNSMasq...
2nd If you get dynamic IP lease from your ISP you need announce every change on HE. Use dnsomatic "Tunnel update URL" from GUI works only with units with curl... My unit have wget and didn't worked at the time I tried...
Another possible major gotcha is that there are probably some ISPs that don't pass protcol 41 that is used to tunnel the IPv6 packets to and from the gateway.

You might be right. I did everything correctly but I still only get a 0/10. How do you unblock protocol 41 if possible? _________________ Netgear R7000

If protocol-41 is blocked by your ISP's head-end equipment, there's probably nothing you can do. This will be a policy adopted by their company and they won't change it.
If protocol-41 is blocked by your client modem, you can call your ISP's tech support and ask them politely to allow protocol-41 to pass through your modem. They might do that if they want to help you.
Does your ISP assign a static (or semi-static) publicly routable IPv4 address to your dd-wrt router? If it receives an address like 192.168.x.y or 10.x.y.z then a tunnel to your router as the client won't work. The tunnel only works with publicly routable IPv4 addresses. HTH.
