IPV6 not working

My VM FTTP connection went live today, speeds are great

I am not getting an IPV6 address

Looking at the logs in my Hub5x I see this repeated many times

"Gateway ipv6 address is empty"

    In the DHCP settings the hub is set with it's DHCPv6 server "Auto configuration type" set to "Stateless".

    Do I need to change this to Stateful?

    If so what should be filled in for the Start address

      VM has as yet not implemented IP v6.

    Also constantly searching for an IPV6 address will hurt the performance of the Hub!

      VM router firmware and/or web management is in my opinion the worst firmware ever on any networking product ever.

       

      And yes you are correct, the performance of the hub is horrible. It's the slowest web GUI I've ever used on a router in 20 years. Even pings to the hub are delayed.
