Asuswrt-Merlin wan interface does not answer IPV6 requests.

[Repla]

I need your knowledge and expertise. Please.

Firmware: 378.53

My ISP (WebPass) does not provide public IPV4 address. It provides NATIVE IPV6 and private IPV4 only.

If I want to access my AsusWRT router interface remotely from work and I do not have a public IPV4, the only choice I have is IPV6.
I also have IPV6 at work and I am able to access FTP server and Web Server (IIS7) at a home computer which is inside the router, using its IPV6 address for example:
http://[2604:5500:806:b:83f7:dd6f:3edf:be22]:8080 (Windows 7, home computer. It connects fine)
FTP://[2604:5500:806:b:83f7:dd6f:3edf:be22]. (It works fine.Windows 7 answers IPV6 requests excellent. Microsoft did a good IPV6 job).

Asuswrt-Merlin does not answer IPV6 requests.

For example, when I type my Router LAN address http://192.168.1.1 , It opens the router interface OK,
but when I type http://[2604:5500:806:bff::1] which is the same Router LAN address only It is IPV6, does not open the router interface which does not make sense. It is the same location with two different address. (IPV4 and IPV6).

Please, let me know what I am doing wrong. May be there is an IPV6 bug in Asuswrt-Merlin software.

Thank you

I think that this is because in router's firmware web server do not listens IPv6 requests. I have already started thread http://www.snbforums.com/threads/routers-web-interface-via-ipv6.23907/ but still nothing.

Thank you laptamder for your help.

ASUS Firmware 378 has several IPV6 Bugs.
I found another one:
A security breach in IPV6 firewall.
Microsoft Windows 7 Home premium is good, IPV4 and IPV6 are equivalent.

For example:
http://[2604:5500:806:bff::1002]:8080
http://192.168.15.168:8080
They go to the same page, no matter which IP version you use.

I will try a Netgear Router, I think they are more IPV6 competent than ASUS.

This is something Asus has to eventually fix and not Merlin. Most of the major ISPs still don't care much about IPv6, your setup is rather more advanced than most of the networks out there. The rest of the net needs to catch up and that will only happen when IPv4 becomes a real problem with the IP addresses shortage.
