Have the 1525 in Bridge mode with hard wire to my PC. When  I run a speed test, the IPv4 gets around 50Mbps download and 11Mbps up. When the IPv6 test runes, download is around .57Mbps and up about the same.

When attempting to reach an IPv6 site like Yahoo.com, it takes at least 1 minute for the page to load.

Why is IPv6 so slow?

Does hard LAN wire connect to the ISP modem do same thing?
Do other devices exhibit the same thing?

[dk2463]

Does hard LAN wire connect to the ISP modem do same thing?
a laptop hardwired to the cable modem gets the following:
IPv4
Down=57.71
Up= 11.12

IPv6
Down=56.23
Up=10.97

Do other devices exhibit the same thing?
my Surface gets the following running via my wireless router
IPv4
Down=16.52
Up=11.74

IPv6
Down=25.99
Up=11.58

A laptop wired into the 1525 gets the following:
IPv4
Down=32.80
Up=11.71

IPv6
Down=.48
Up=.12

It's DEFINITELY the DAP-1525

UPDATE:
Just tried a RESET and reconnect via WPS and still same issue.

[FurryNutz]

We need to see if the DAP-1525 is IPv6 compatible and or certified for it. I can't find any IPv6 information for it, however thats not to say that it may or may not be.

Would you phone contact D-Link support and ask them about this...I've emailed my contact to see if they can review this as well. Not sure if I'll get anything back however it's worth a try. Ya, If IPv4 is working well and IPv6 isn't, got to be something on the 1525.

I'll post back if I hear anything...Keep us posted...

[dk2463]

The website doesn't show it as being IPv6 certified. Strange they have all the IPv6 settings on their admin page but it doesn't work?

Tech support claims it is IPv6 ready....

[FurryNutz]

I presume that this could be a incompatibility issue between the ISP Modem/Router and the DAP-1525. IPv6 Ready is different from IPv6 certified. I believe that IPv6 ready means that it's capable of doing IPv6, however certified means it was tested and passed certifications. So "ready" may be that there could be some compatibility issues. Did you talk to D-Link about troubleshooting this any?

[FurryNutz]

So looks like the user manual has IPv6 support in AP mode...D-Link is looking into seeing if it's supported in Bridge mode...

[dk2463]

ah! interesting, the materials they provide to Amazon simply mention IPv6 support, not in a specific mode.

I'm also seeing an extended menu of settings options briefly when I click the Wireless Settings menu on the dlinkap menu but it disappears quickly. Any ideas on how to access it?

What browser are you using?

You can try to disable the browser Style options to basic or disable...you can sometimes see hidden options however accessing them doesn't mean they actually work if used. Could still be disabled in the FW code.

As a test, I'd turn off the WiFi on the ISP modem and change the 1525 from Bridge to AP mode and test IPv6 again and see what you get...

[dk2463]

tried IE11, Chrome and Firefox, all of them display it briefly then it reverts to just the few choices.

[FurryNutz]

Were you able the disable the Styles on each browser?

[dk2463]

no, not sure how to do that.
