      That link is for the BT Business version. Home version is crippled and doesn't have the Routing page.

        Have you called tech support and asked? Perhaps you can ask for a different model? My ISP doesn't support IPv6 on some modem models, so I got a new one and a lower price for my plan.

        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...

          Can you not use a modem and pop your PPPOE config on the pfSense router.

          I have one of these, I'm in the UK with Zen Internet:-

          There are loads on the bay and they are cheap as chips.

          The other benefit would be the removal of the double NAT.

            Can't use that one. My connection is 150Mbps g.fast not fibre. BT marketing calls it "fibre broadband" but the fibre stops at the nearby street cabinet !!

            Me-thinks I will email my friends at VirginMedia engineering to see if & when they might roll out ipv6 for the cable network.

            At the end of the day the plan for V6 was experimentation with my Nokia VSR router rather than actually requiring it.

              Drat ☹

              I'd not really call it BT Business braodband if you have a RFC1918 address on your WAN port, I'll always thought BT over egg their products.

                Mine is not their business broadband, it's the consumer version. Same g.fast network, but different router firmware & connection profile.

                  So, give them a call and see if they can provide different equipment. That's what I had to do, to get IPv6.

                    Try Zen Internet if you have no luck with VirginMedia.

                    They mention a Huawei MT992-10 modem.

                      @JKnott I think I will wait until their staff are back in the offices. Current situation means long wait times & no easy way to talk to somebody that actually understands !!

                        That has nothing to do with the current situation! 😉
