Reply To: Netgear XR500 working with IPv6 Settings for BT So had some time yesterday and updated my Netgear XR500 to the latest firmware – XR500 Firmware Version 2.3.2.134 and decided to see if I could finally get IPv6 working…

[UK Sentinel]

So these are the two IP addresses I see when I access the internet by two seperate devices and check with whatismyipaddress.com.

(first 64 bits replaced as they were the same hexadecimal number)

Laptop:       0000:0000:0000:0000:b52d:77ba:b39f:ae1d

iPhone        0000:0000:0000:0000:68e4:6bb8:807a:9db4

So the Netgear XR500 is actually giving me an IPv6 /64 PD (prefix length) and given BT supports only IPv6 /56, this is most interesting, but does seem to work still and I assume the /56 prefix allocated by BT actually gives you 256 /64 subnets (I think)
