  • Hyperoptic IPv6 connectivity issues due to upstream router not responding to Router Solicitation (RS) packets.
  • Workaround involves changing the WAN interface MAC address to trigger an unsolicited Router Advertisement (RA).
  • Manual addition of default IPv6 gateway address as an alternative solution.
  • Hyperoptic assigns only prefix delegations (ia_pd) and not non-temporary addresses (ia_na).
  • Out-of-order packets issue linked to WAN MAC addresses starting with '4' or '6'.
  • Solution for out-of-order packets: changing the WAN MAC address to one not starting with '4' or '6'.
