I really want to hear Jack Yaz's or Merlin's opinion about this. It seems we are just going in circle with this.
Not 'we'.
You did read the link I gave you from Jack Yaz in post 130, correct.

That doesn't mean anything, according to jack, Merlin's ntp advertises its availability. It doesn't mean it provides time automatically to all clients. It's there if you want to use it. This will be my last post on this. I'll wait for Jack or Merlin's opinion, it will be nice to hear from them, I could be wrong.Not 'we'.

Almost no popular client OSes respect DHCP option 42 for NTP. This was discussed in John's thread after I suggested adding the option after reading an older post by sfx2000 about it. Looks nice, but has no practical purpose for the masses. An NTPFilter iptables rule would be more effective than the DHCP option.You're a hard one to convince.
I like to take a chance here and there and possibly learn something new by being wrong, once in a while.
And in your case, it is easy enough to test this assumption, right?

[Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (V39E3)
Yes, RMerlin's. The options set in dnsmasq/DHCP do that for you and all your other connected clients automatically.
neither do any apple productsWindows does not heed DHCP option 42.
this is way above my level today , al i know is i got no connection when i rrboot non of the browsers connct to any dsitre until i disconnect vpmn client andstart over , is there some settingi need to implement in the new fw to get things working on startup ? this is getting complicated
Here are the settings after an alpha3 upgrade:I'd suggest to use something like below instead
Code:#!/bin/sh echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_ra echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/accept_ra echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/forwarding

Did you leave the remove IPV6 neighbor solicitation on the tools page enabled? if so that might be what is causing you to get a 17.Here are the settings after an alpha3 upgrade:
After setting eth0 accept_ra to 1, WAN IPv6 Gateway went from empty to what it had been set to in 384.10_2. IPv6 is working now.Code:HdB342665LNtPFM@RT-AX88U-F098:/jffs/scripts# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_ra 1 HdB342665LNtPFM@RT-AX88U-F098:/jffs/scripts# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding 1 HdB342665LNtPFM@RT-AX88U-F098:/jffs/scripts# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/accept_ra 0 HdB342665LNtPFM@RT-AX88U-F098:/jffs/scripts# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/forwarding 0
Thank you!
I used to get 19/20 on the IPv6 test at http://ipv6-test.com/ with just the 1 problem being the lack of a reverse DNS record which I do not see as a concern.
Now I get a 17/20 due to ICMPv6 being blocked. I double checked that Windows 10 Kaspersky Internet Security Packet Rules still has my rule to allow ICMPv6.
I had not enabled "Firewall: Drop IPv6 neighbour solicitation broadcasts (default: No)" because the first try at setting eth0 accept_ra to 1 had solved the IPv6 gateway issue.Did you leave the remove IPV6 neighbor solicitation on the tools page enabled? if so that might be what is causing you to get a 17.
netsh firewall set icmpsetting type=all mode=enable
I tried that and still no ICMPv6 ping.@EmeraldDeer ...
Have you tried this for Windows 10?
cmdCode:netsh firewall set icmpsetting type=all mode=enable
I am Comcast and up until today I got 19/20 on ipv6-test but today it has been 17/20 due to ICMP. I have not done anything new so I am wondering if it is Comcast (I tried a couple PCs on my network and the same result). I use McAfee and the setting in there is still set to allow ICMP pings.I tried that and still no ICMPv6 ping.
Since my firewall is being managed by Kaspersky, I am not exactly sure what it does in response.
I added rules in Kaspersky in case Comcast passes ICMPv6 again.
