IPv6 Connectivity

Hello everyone, I’m posting here after multiple unsuccessful attempts to resolve issues with Bouygues Telecom support. I am a Bouygues client with a recent fiber Bbox and a WiFi 7 repeater (10 Gb/s port – Sagemcom). Despite a compatible network setup and thorough tests, I am unable to obtain IPv6 connectivity, even when directly connected to the box via Ethernet cable. Verified points: - IPv6 routing enabled in the Bbox interface - DHCPv6 delegation missing or inactive - No RA (Router Advertisement) being issued - WiFi 7 repeater seems not to transmit IPv6 packets I have reported the issue several times, including by registered letter to customer service. To date, I have received no response. I simply want to know: - If IPv6 is indeed enabled on my line - If the Bouygues/Sagemcom WiFi 7 repeater supports IPv6 passthrough - How to fully activate this protocol, as promised in the technical specifications of the offer If other customers have faced this issue, your feedback is welcome. And if a Bouygues advisor is reading this message, I would appreciate clear technical assistance. Thank you in advance to the community for your help ???? Lucien

Hello

I don't come from Bouygues...it would be interesting to know the model of the Box "Sagemcom....xxxxx"

-- If the IPV4 is going to be saturated and lacking due to the number of connection requests, IPV6 comes to the rescue and increases the number of possibilities... The need is especially true for external IP numbers that connect you to the ISP.

-- After arriving at your home, your connection is dispatched across your local network to each of your devices, and there, the possibilities offered by IPV4 are normally sufficient to meet this need, even with static IP.

-- On this link, you can find out your external IP address.

If IPV6 is not detected, it says so...

Wi-Fi repeaters are part of the local network (inside your home) LAN

That's all for my humble contribution.

Hello,

forget about the "repeaters," they are usually transparent at layer 3, they are not routers and therefore should allow all Ethernet frames containing IPv4, IPv6, or anything else to pass through.

What does your box's interface indicate? At the IP connections and LAN configuration level, you can hide the end of its IP address, send us screenshots if you can, anyway CCM still doesn't have IPv6 either :-(

You usually shouldn't see the prefix delegation to the box, I'm not sure it can even handle it itself, boxes are often very limited in that regard, even though ISPs hand out /56 (/60 with Bouygues) left and right, you need to replace it with another router if you want to make full use of it.

As for the RA, how do you know there aren't any, did you capture some Wireshark data?

Also, Bouygues is not yet on top everywhere in IPv6, you might be in the last 15%, even though these stats are quite old, we would be closer to 95% currently, I'm surprised we don't have more recent ones. If they don't respond to you, aside from the significant possibility of incompetence from level 1, it’s probably because they are not clear on this issue.

And there you go....

But goodness, how annoying the line spacing is!!

Oh well,

I was saying that we didn't have recent stats, and now it just came out:

We can see that Bouygues is doing pretty well.
