Ipv6 address via dhcp however not able to ping
-
Hello,
I am new to ipv6, when I checked my status page I saw that my WAN interface had an ipv6 address. This led me to think about enabling it behind the router.
I however cannot seem to get it to work on the router itself.

I tried to make sure it wasn't a routing issue

When I ping my monitor I can see a response:

Any ideas?
