@JKnott said in I am unable to get IPv6 address on LAN.:
It's the same with my cell company. I don't know of any technical reason why they couldn't. Perhaps when more businesses move fully to IPv6 and...
Right away : a cell company for me is : those 3G/4G/5G 50++ feet high iron antennas everywhere, who allow my cell phone to do calls, and receive messages, and it also carries a data connection which allows my phone to connect to the internet.
Right ?
All these portable devices were never meant to be 'portable routers firewall devices', but IPv4 was used so .... using some NAT tricks etc and a 4G/5G IPv4 router is easily created. There was a market for them, as not everybody had cable/POTS (to carry A/VDSL) nearby. For the cell company point of view, it's just a 'cell device' that actually is a router, so it 'hides' all other devices on its LAN.
Now IPv6 : the cell company hands out over also an IPv6 - just like the 'one IPv4' . Just one /128, and the device is happy, it can now use whatever is available using IPv6. For my phone : great. For a router : wrong.
But I get it, they should also hand over 'entire /64 networks' for cell devices that are not phones, but actually real routers / firewalls.
The thing is, what I make of it, cell companies do 'IPv6' "because they have to". But they implemented it only half way ... so most really don't accept IPv6 ready router connections.
As with ISPs, you have to pick yours - if possible.
Most often : you have to pick the less worse one.
But do make your list first : what do you want that they offer you ? "price" is just one minor aspect. Speed might be another one. But don't stop there.
And you still have to deal with a non exiting IPv6, or even worse, plain bad 'IPv6' implementation.
