Model: Archer AX73  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.1.1 Build 20241031 rel.70279

I have my AX 73 with a 2nd AX 73 using Mesh.

IPV6 is working fine but on some devices like my PS5 I need to disconnect and reconnect it to get some services to work. I don't lose connection like in a game. But icons don't load. And the store won't work.

 

A game can crash also because of this. The fix is to disconnect the PS5 and reconnect to the Internet. Or disable IPv6 altogether. But I use IPV6 on other devices. So not an option.

 

The two AX73 are using an Ethernet backhaul. So it's nothing to do with the hardware. But possibly an update in the firmware is needed to fix this as something is causing a disconnect on the routers. Or a partial disconnect. I assume IPV6 is dropping and IPv4 is taking over.

 

When I check the router all is fine. I can't keep reboot every device to fix this.

 

I've done resets and updated firmware a few times.

 

I'm hoping another person has IPV6 enabled and us a PS5.

Hi @IREWolfman,

May I know if your network topology diagram is as follows:
Fiber box—AX73 )))((( client devices
(Note: — stands for wired connection,)))((( stands for wireless connection )

 

What specific devices and services cannot use IPv6 network normally? Please make sure that these devices support IPv6.

If possible, please provide your IPv6 settings (personal information can be blocked)

Please turn on QoS to set PS5 as a high priority device, and you can also try to set DNS to Google DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Yes, ONT - AX73 - AX73 as easymesh Ethernet backhaul

 

I originally had internet set to Dynamic IP

 

IPv6 was pppoe 

Dhcp v6

Prefix enabled 

Dns set to 8888 and 8844

 

IPv6 lan

 

Slaac and stateless dhcp

 

PS5 seems to only one not working with IPv6 properly.

It connects and sees the IPv6 but after a while losing partial connection. When it's set to just IPv4 works fine.

PS5 doesn't support IP 6 only.

PS5 is set with dmz and high priority.

  @Joseph-TP When I do Dynamic IP on both it doesnt work on ipv6. When i do pppoe shared it works showing a ipv6 address but ipv6 test says it failed not ipv6 address.

 

When I do Dynamic for IPV4 and PPPoE for IPV6 it works but then i have issues with PS5 working and the ipv6 connection drops or loses connection. So even though it works it needs to be reconnected on PS5 to work properly or disabled completely.
