DHCPV6 Event Log -Event 1006

[SpeedTrip]

Since changing my DNS on my EE Smart Hub Plus (installed March 2025) I have seen this following entry when my WIN7 system Starts up   ..

Router Advertisement settings have been changed on the network adapter 10. The current M - Managed Address Configuration flag is false and the O - Other Stateful Configuration flag is false. .....  User Action: If you are seeing this event frequently, then it could be due to frequent change in M and O flag settings on the router in the network

There are usually 3 or more entries - some show 'flag is True'

Prior to changing DNS address I was getting 'Time Service' & DNS failures & sometimes a website like NatWest just wouldnt open - eventually stating "You may have a Browser Error' - these have stopped since setting DNS to 8.8.8.8 , but nowI see this situation  ?

Can you advise if its a problem at all - WIN7 runs fine all day, accessing a variety of sites ..

Thank you very much for the explanation....



I seem to have successfully changed the DNS address to 8.8.8.8 in both the
IPConfig & the Router .... and since deleting IPV6 from WIN7 these 'Router
Advertisements' have stopped.



This week has been the first time this past 2 months that Events Viewer has
had no Time Service or DNS reported events, nor SChan errors !



Kind Regards.

@Denzel99 insightful, thanks 🙂

The cynical side of me says it is another example of the ISP’s current reluctance to let you use your own DNS.

The EE hub does allow the user to specify their own DNS via DHCP, only for v4 though. That's the setting @SpeedTrip is querying.

Didn't spend too long on it - and I was using Windows 11 - but I tried with the feature both disabled and enabled and all I ever saw were log entries with both bits enabled 🤷
