I've had Toob for 6 months now and it's been great. I have experience with the toob-supplied Sagemcom, upgraded to an ASUS router and finally ended up running with an Opnsense solution (opnsense was a bit of a pain getting Ipv6 set up!) so if anyone has any questions I'll be happy to help.
 
What settings did you need get your ASUS routers WAN connection working? Is PPOE used? If so did you need a user name and password?

I'd be interested to read of the OPNsense IPv6 config.

I guess the opnsense is the main router with wan directly on ISP network.

Ipv4v6 dual stack or ipv6-only 464xlat? Is the isp delegated prefix used in the LAN with devices directly routable on the ipv6 internet? SLAAC or DHCPv6 in the LAN?
 
Ipv4v6 Dual stack. I use SLAAC on the LAN but you have the option for DHCP if you wish. Directly routable if you add access rules on the firewall. I can post screenshots of my config if you want to see it.

I've seen a lot of interest in IPv6 configurations but few people get it to production readiness so I think appropriately redacted configs should be helpful even years into the future.
 
Hi,

I’ve got an ASUS mesh network, and I’m moving from Virgin to Toob.

With Virgin it was just plug and play.

I’ve tried connect to the modem and the WAN connection doesn’t work. I’m assuming I need specific ASUS configuration.

Was there anything you did in particular?

Thanks for the help.

My guess, have you tried setting it to automatically get an IP from ISP?

Yes, I have - the router is disconnecting saying the DHCP configuration / response is incorrect.

I’m assuming Toob is using CGNAT. So, should I disable NAT? The toob router has it disabled if I look at its configuration.

Is there anything else in particular I should configure? DNS servers?

Thanks for the help.
 
Leave NAT enabled. Under IPv6 set connection type as 'Native'. WAN prefix length is 56. Auto configuration type is stateless.

WAN port stays in the DHCP mode (like it would have been on your Virgin connection). You're connecting directly to the Toob/Adtran ONT on the wall yes? Set 'DHCP Query' to Aggressive under the WAN section and try again.
 
Great, thank you. It looks like I'm now getting IPv6 traffic through.

However the router is showing a red light for the wan connection, and showing "Internet status: disconnected".

If I turn off the Internet connection from the router page and turn it back on - I still get the "your ISP DHCP does not function properly".

As a guess, hardware that uses IPv6 is getting a connection, but items using IPv4 may not?

Any clues on that one?

Thanks again!!

Does the service provider supply a router to sanity check?

If you have a port which will supply an IP address by DHCP, you can also connect/cable up a laptop with interface configured for DHCP client to sanity check.

Was gonna say, it's a basic dhcp connection, nothing special at all. When I set up my ASUS (admittedly it had merlin firmware) I didn't configure anything other than setting the WAN port to DHCP to get it online, and it must be working to some degree for you to be obtaining an IPv6 address?
 
I have an ASUS set up at my parents' on Toob that I've just logged in to. I've set custom DNS servers etc but there wasn't anything I had to change/add to get it working with Toob other than 'Automatic IP' - I've attached some screenshots if you wish to compare

Thanks for your help.

I compared everything you shared, and nothing really changed.

So in the end, I did the ‘factory reset to defaults’ magic trick. That seemed to solve it. So I must have done something at some point. Very odd.

Anyway, all good now - thanks for the help.
