Hello,

I have a RT-AC86U and i'm using merlin 384.7 - Alpha 2, and i'll explain the problems that i'm having below...

So i noticed that the IPV6 sometimes was not working and then i saw that it actually was vanishing\disengaging from my ethernet adapter by looking in adapter status screen... What happens is that if i power up my pc, it will acquire the IPV6 like it should be, but after some time(between 5 to 10 min) the IPV6 will vanish\disengage from the Ethernet adapter of my pc, the same thing happens if disable the adapter and enable it again, in other words, when i enable it, it will acquire the ipv6 like it should, but after some time(between 5 to 10 min), the ipv6 will vanish\disengage with me doing anything to it.

Here are some screens:

I get this when i power up my pc or if i disable and enable the ethernet adapter:

/\ the ipv6 is working like it should...

But then, this will happen after 5 to 10 min:

PS: Sorry that the above screens are in another language besides english, but i did not feel like installing the language pack just to take screen shots of the status screen of the ethernet adapter, since they are the same in any language.

Here is the log of the router when i disabled my ethernet adapter, then enabled it again, then the pc gets the ipv6 and then after sometime(5 to 10 min) the ipv6 was gone from the ethernet adapter:

And these are my ipv6 settings:

I noticed that these problems started happening after i installed several scripts from this forum and i confirmed that this is the case(that the problem start happening after i installed the scripts), when i yesterday did a initialize of the router to wipe every config and scripts from it, after that i just setup my pppoe connection, ipv6 and wifi and after, i monitored the ipv6 on my desktop for the whole day and it did not vanish\disengage a single time from the ethernet adapter, and today i've installed all the scripts again and the problem came back!

I'm using the following scripts:

Diversion 4.0 (dnsmasq ON and a swap file of 2GB in a 16GB usb 2.0 stick)
Entware-ng (Installed by Diversion)
Pixelserv-tls (Installed by Diversion)
amtm - Terminal Menu
DNSCrypt (Installed by amtm)
Skynet (Installed by amtm)
DiskCheck (Installed by amtm)
FreshJR Adaptive QoS

And they were installed in the following order:

1 - Diversion -> Entware -> Pixelserv + certificate installed on my pc -> Swap file 2GB
2 - Amtm Menu -> Disk Check -> Skynet -> DNS Crypt(with ipv6 enabled and using dns servers from cloudflare, numbers 13 and 14 if im not mistaken from the list when you manually setup the dns servers in dnscrypt installation)
3 - FreshJR Adaptive QoS -> enable qos and AiProtection on the router webui.

So, ipv6 is somewhat important to me because i'm stuck in cgnat on the ipv4 ip, and my isp will not provide me with a public ipv4 ip, because and according to them, its for dedicated links only and my is a residencial one.

So if you can reset to factory defaults and setup with no scripts and it works....start with zero scripts and add one at a time until you get the problem again. I know this takes time but it will isolate the script conflicting with your settings or vice versa. Also it may reveal a problem with someones script and ipv6 compatibility. As far as I know Skynet does not support IPv6 it supports IPset v6 these are different.

Yes, if i do a factory reset and just setup the pppoe, ipv6 and wifi, it woks without problems! The problem start to happen after i install the scripts... I thought about doing that(installing one by one and checking after each installation), but i also thought that maybe someone with the same problem could show up hehe, since a lot of people uses the same group of scripts... ill do the procedure tomorrow and report back :)

Do not install SKYNET it does not support IPv6.

I'll test without skynet... But even if skynet does not support ipv6, it still supports ipv4 and should not interfere with my ipv6 connection on my desktop like that or it should? I would like to keep using it, but if its the cause of the problem, then i'll have to choose between skynet or my ipv6.

Thx! Ill be doing the tests in a few hours...
 
I have IPv6 and run skynet and do not have this issue.

I'm running all the scripts you are except for

FreshJR Adaptive QoS
DNSCrypt

Is this Native or Tunnel IPv6 you are using?
 
Reporting back...

My problem is gone and i didn't do anything, i was about to the procedure that I've mentioned before, in other words, install one script at the time and check to see if my pc would lose the ipv6, but since yesterday, the problem disappeared by it self!

Maybe the problem was with my isp? Or maybe an automatic update done by one of the scrips solved the issue? I don't know, but its working now so...
