I have a pretty locked down router from my provider which won't let me set it to bridge mode (so I am stuck with it as a router), I got a Google Wifi and hooked it up planning to disable wifi on my provider router and to DMZ ip4, however I noticed that while the Google Wifi does get an IPv6 address from my router, no device connected to it can get one. Which results in me loosing IPv6 connectivity. Any help?

Hello @AllyRamos
Google WiFi needs to get an IPv6 "prefix delegation" from your provider's router. It sounds like it is only providing a single IPv6 address (which isn't a surprise). Without a prefix delegation, your Google WiFi router can't assign IPv6 addresses to its clients. If IPv6 is important to you, you may need to reach out to your provider for help. But, be patient – you may have trouble finding a support representative that understands this issue.

Have you turned on IPv6 functionality?
Google Home -> Network -> Settings -> Advanced networking.
