Hub 5 IPv6 setup?

Just1n
Tuning in

I Installed my Hub 5 yesterday and have noticed that none of my devices are connecting via IPv6

I've checking in the admin pages and ax is on for both 2.4 (set to 802.11g/n/ax mixed channel width 20MHz) and 5 Ghz (set to 802.11a/n/ac/ax mixed channel width 20/40/80 mixed) wifis

Can anyone suggest what I need to do get IPv6 working please?

p.s. on my network I have a combination of IPv4 and IPv6 capable devices

VM do not provide IPv6 so the official answer would be you cannot.

However, put the hub into modem mode, hook up a gateway device that provides an IPv6 tunnel (I use pfSense/Hurricane electric tunnel broker) and et voila, a /64 address for your LAN.

Ah ok, I think I might have confused WIFI6 (ax) with IPv6, completely difference things, should have done my research

P.S. the Hub5 seems decent so far

If you need IPv6, use a Tunnel as Tim suggested, or get an Openreach based ISP as 99% of them use IPv6.  There is a thread here somewhere which is over 10 years old, discussing VM's IPv6 (non) implementation .......
