Does anyone know how to set up IPV6 on EE? I swapped out the EE Smart Hub for another router and would like to get IPV6 working if possible but so far the settings I've tried haven't worked. TBH I'm unclear whether EE even supports IPV6 as there seems to be different opinions on this so if anyone has any solid info that would be appreciated.
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

Solved it - in the end it was simple although I'm pretty sure I tried these settings yesterday and they didnt work (maybe they didn't apply properly). Anyway here is what worked on my TP-Link Archer AXE75.
Edit - I've just realised I had to disconnect my device from the network and reconnect to acquire the IPv6 address after setting up the rooter.

@BlockyMan EE ipV6 works out of the block on the EE range off routers, the problem is what/how/ and needed to be done on YOUR third party connected device. If IP6 was not needed, then it would not have been applied. Best put your EE Router back on, go take a look at the ipV6 settings, and see what is applied, other way Router Forum and see if a user has done so and no need to re-invent the wheel. applying to both the threads for you.

I'll give that a go but the interface on the Smart Hub keeps many setting hidden so I'm not sure what I'll get out of that.

@BlockyMan There are a few threads where the question has been asked, and answered. This one contails most of the info you should need, although I left the IP4 DNS rather than using IP6 ones. Depends on your router and its options.

@BlockyMan It's router dependent, try other options to get the wan to pass the ipV6 to your router and from there onwards to your device. What works for one router may not work for another manufactures method and setup.

The only IPv6 settings the SH+ presents are to enable it & set its IPv6 address allocation to Stateless. Anything else will be hidden in the router. It works straight out the box by default.
