I have a Dlink DIR-825 B1 with firmware 2.05NA. I recently reset it to factory defaults to make sure I didn't misconfigure something.
I have been struggling to get a IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel working with tunnelbroker.net. I think the issue is a problem with the router itself and i'm not sure how to get it fixed.
All of my machines were getting IPv6 addresses (both windows, mac, linux) but none of them seemed to work. All I was able to do was ping the gateway itself using the local lan address. In each case they were missing a default IPv6 route. If I added a default route then it would work.
I started looking at the packets using a network sniffer and the Router Advertisements all had a Router lifetime value of "0" which is RFC4816 speak for "don't use this router as the default router". So Windows/Linux is exactly right by not setting a default route.
The strange thing was that when I reboot the router I would briefly get a router advertisement with a lifetime of 1800s, the corrert prefix and dns server but then another router advertisement would come along 5 seconds later with a router advertisement of 0.
I have TCP'
Other observations
... using 6to4 I would get working IPv6 address. The difference again seemed to be the Router Lifetime. But I want to use a permanent tunnel. I have found 6to4 unreliable.
... the router never responds to router solicitations. It only sends a router advertisement when it wants to.
... the router never responds to DHCPv6 when that is configured.
I'm going to say there are a lot of bugs with the IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel.
