Up 5 hours on APs.

Based on reports regardng IPv6 from @MLandi, I didn't bother upgrading my gateway.

Thank you Brainslayer.

Router/Version: Dynalink WRX36
Update method: scp > /tmp/firmware.bin
File/Kernel: dd-wrt-webflash_r63485_2026-01-25.bin / Linux version 6.6.121-rt29 (root@linux) (aarch64-openwrt-linux-gcc (OpenWrt GCC 15.2.0 r31448+12-7ef19bb9cd) 15.2.0, 6
Previous/Reset: r62606 / no && yes
Mode/Status: Router / AP wired and wireless
Issues/Errors: IPv6 not working

I tried to update from r62606 which has a working IPv6, this failed.
Then i did a full clear/reset. Configured only the Internet settings for IPv4 and IPv6, IPv4 worked, IPv6 was stuck on disabled.

If i then downgrade to r62606 it works instantly. Upgrade again to r63485 has a broken IPv6 again.
Also tried to disable SPI Firewall to see if that helps, but no luck.

Attached are the console logs with debug enabled for both the r62606 and r63485 with a reboot.
Hopefully it will help troubleshooting, if you need more, let me know, and ill see if i'm able to provide more details
