Hi @mhoam
Thanks for posting in our business forum.

This Beta version is working well on both IP4 and IP6
However, the test site https://ipv6-test.com/ tells me that ICMPv6 packets are being filtered by the firewall on my ER605. I have created no additional ACL rules for IPv6 so this must be the default rule.
As you may know, ICMPv6 is described as an important part of of IPv6 and this RFC suggests ICMPv6 packets should be allowed through
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4890
I have tried to create a specific IPv6 ACL rule to allow IPv6 ICMP to work as required but can't see how.
Please advise on TP-Link's advice as to what ICMPv6 rules should be created and how this can be achieved in this Beta version
Alternatively, assuming your developers are well aware of the relevant RFCs, should the default IPv6 Defaults coded into the Firmware be amended?
Thanks

According to the dev, you can use ACL to allow ICMPv6.

Thanks for the response.
I have tried to create an ACL to allow ICMP6. However, as you can see from the attached screenshot when I select to "Allow" the "Service Type" of "ICMP_All" the radio button to choose IP4 is pre-selected and the IP6 button is grayed out and is NOT selectable!
Please let me know if there is another method required to allow ICMPv6

No. Try the controller mode instead.
Or you manually create ICMPv6 in the Service Type and try again.

Thanks for the response.
Firstly, I am using my ER605 in stand-alone mode, ie via the web UI and do not wish to use the controller for one TP-Link device.
Secondly, there is no option to identify ICMPv6 in the definition of Service Types, just ICMP.

Thanks for your assistance, I have now created a new service type using protocol "Other" with a Protocol Number 58 to identify ICMPv6.
This new Service type is used in an ACL rule to allow ICMPv6 packets through the Firewall apparently successfully, with more testing to be done

New firmwares ver. 1.3.1 and 2.2.3 released.

Strangely, I was only able to upgrade the ER605V2 manually. In Omada it indicated the upgrade, but it generated an error for application. And in another part directly for the upgrade, the button was grayed out as if it were not enabled. That's bizarre.
But, I already have the new firmware.
