How to configure IPv6 on TP Link Deco for Jio Fiber/AirFiber

[Bapun]

@vishalrao bro, I need some help from you. As you have TP Link Deco XE75, can you please check whether you are able to connect the Deco with the Jio AirFiber through LAN and when connected, does the Deco provides both IPv4 and IPv6 on the Deco? For me IPv6 only coming on the JioFiber (in your case AirFiber) ONT. Even after multiple tries I couldn't get the IPv6 protocol on Deco enabled, despite Jio providing it.

I mean for this testing with AirFiber I am in Router mode...

I'm using them in AP mode with my TPLink ER605 load balancer router.

That's why you didn't realized IPv6 isn't working on router mode.

Yeah, I realize that, thank you once again.

I think it's working if I set the IPv6 connection type to "Bridge" in Deco app and leave mobile/PC IPv6 settings to auto/DHCP... can you try and confirm?

I am able to see IPv6 in fast.com and ipv6.google.com from browsers of both mobile and PC...

Oh my! How did I miss trying that option?

I can confirm after selecting 'bridge' for IPv6 it works perfectly. Thank you so much.

kool so it works for wired fiber ont too

personally i prefer to keep my decos in AP mode especially since im using tplink er605 router too.

any particular reason you want to use router mode instead of AP mode for your decos?

Yeah. I think both the ONT firmwares are similar in nature, except that the AirFiber ONT firmware is even more restricted.

Mainly because AP mode provide less control over the Deco compared to router mode.

Can we change the Deco LAN IP in AP mode?

 

[vishalrao]

I don't think so

I don't think so

Then AP mode won't work for me. I need to customize the LAN IP.
