Home internet service IPv6 traffic is all filtered even when using a Netgear LTE router. No port forwarding. Plz fix!
My background is in IT / networking and I started using Tmo Home Internet for the past 2 weeks. The router being shipped today to customers is missing very important features for power users - it act...

Native/delegation appeared to work at first, but irt crapped out when I tried to run a v6 compliance test like 30 seconds later.
I say passthrough "works" more so because of client side issues then network issues.
DNS can be sluggish (at least in Windoze), causing your browsers to fall back to v4 lookups. But if you are avoiding that screwy slow DNS fall back scenario (like on your phone), it works.
Just frustrating. They should have known better. Sometimes it feels like the DOCSIS beta days. You can see there should be a better way to do things... but it just is not happening.
Phones on T-Mobile use DNS64. So, you will always get an IPv6 response and address from DNS on a phone. This is not the case with TMHI. You will only get an IPv6 address if there is a AAAA registration for the host. For me, DNS is working properly with TMHI. My clients use IPv6 for sites and services that support IPv6. If I completely turn off IPv4 on a client, I still have connectivity to those sites and services. I even tested using DNS64 servers and turned off IPv4 and I had no issues with apps or service except for the T-Mobile digits app.
