Archer VR1210V and Sky WiFi Internet Provider - working only with IPV6 but not with IPV4
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello,
I'm trying to replace the Modem/Router provided by Sky WiFi (a relatively new Internet Provider in Italy) with a TP-Link Archer VR1210v with a FTTC connection, but I can only make it work with IPV6 addresses and not IPV4.
Essentially I managed to connect the DSL and to get a public IPV6 address which allows me to connect to Internet but only to a limited number of sites (e.g. Google and Youtube work, but Speedtest.net does not).
If I enable IPV4 in the Internet configuration the modem doesn't connect to the DSL. If I disable IPV4 and leave only IPV6 enabled, and I manually provide the IPV6 DNS primary and secondary address then I can get through and connect to Internet, but only partially as I'm limited to the IPV6 stack.
Before I bought this modem/router I checked with the requirements provided by Sky WiFi (below) and to my understanding the Archer VR1210v covers all of them
- IPoE IPv4/IPv6
- NAT: MAP-T Mapping of Address and Port, Translation mode (RFC7599)
- Encapsulation: IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
- VLAN: 101
- VDSL2 standard (ITU-T G.993.2)
- Profili 8b, 12a, 17a and 35b (ITU-T G.993.2)
- SRA (ITU-T G.993.2)
- Retransmission (ITU-T G.998.4)
- Vectoring (ITU-T G.993.5)
I feel I just miss the last mile to be able to solve the issue, and I'm looking for suggestions.
Thanks in advance for helping out
Andrea
