I’ve had Frontier fiber internet for the past 2-ish years. No complaints at all, but the nerd in me desires IPv6. I have the Frontier provided ONT device but declined their router. I have a MikroTik RB5009 which has been “searching” for an IPv6 prefix.

Anyway, I found this link during my research some time ago, and it finally looks like Frontier is enabling IPv6 for people.

I’m still not sure I’ll be able to get it until I get the settings just right, but thought I’d share.

    Well, your router is trying, but your ISP isn’t replying, so I’d say you don’t have IPv6 yet.

    I have had ISPs where if you send a bunch of DHCP solicits/discovers too quickly, then they stop replying. So maybe disable DHCPv6 for a few hours, and enable it while watching it on the packet sniffer, incase it sends a weird response.

    Also it shouldn’t make any difference, but in IPv6/ND change all to bridge; your router looks like it’s advertising itself as a default route to your ISP’s router, and that just seems wrong.
