      Is that the actual IPv6 address for the gateway? On IPv6, link local addresses are often used for routing.

      PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
      i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
      UniFi AC-Lite access point

      I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

        And are you sure that LAN prefix is actually routed to you?

            Yes my gateway is 2603:301d:909:7700:3a17:e1ff:fefb:464e

            If I try to use the local link it does not work

                  That means nothing.

                  I would packet capture for a random host address in that /56 on the WAN and ping6 it using an outside tool and see what shows up on WAN from upstream. The traffic should just arrive on the WAN interface without any additional NDP, etc. If not, it is not being properly routed to you.

                    I did ping pfsense outside the network. I did see my pings from that computer but went I set the static ip 2603:301d:909:77e0::90
                    I failed to ping pfsense

                    2603:301d:909:77e0::/64 has worked for the past 2 years without problems until now

                      Isn't 2603:301d:909:77e0::100 outside your allocation range of 2603:301d:909:7700::/56 ?

                        If it's really 2603:301d:909:7700::/56 they have 2603:301d:909:7700::/64 through 2603:301d:909:77ff::/64 so, no, :77e0: would be good.
