IPv6 Settings on 5G Smart Hub 2

Hi all,

We've just got started with the 5G Smart Hub 2 and while I can get devices connected on IPv6, I can't see any settings anywhere for configuring this.

Am I missing something, or are EE gatekeeping IPv6 settings? Is there a way I can uncover these settings?

Thanks

Shaun

Hi @esspeecy,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

You can view all user configurable settings by logging in to your router at http://192.168.1.1

James,

That's an incredibly unhelpful stock answer; I've made it clear that I can't find any of the settings anywhere so you could have just said "no these settings are not available."

So I am right in that IPv6 configuration is either not available or is indeed hidden behind an EE wall preventing users from making changes that are basics in 2024. I can't even find a way to reserve IP addresses which is useless for port forwarding as the hub won't allow for FQDN either and when the DHCP lease expires on the required devices a brand new port forwarding rule needs to be set up. I wish I'd have read more reviews of this hub - EE have made only very basic features accessible to users and even some of these basic features have been stripped bare.
