When I enable IPv6, seem like router won't assign an IP address on the Ethernet ports, wireless devices still work fine.
Native IPv6 works perfect on my AC56U with the latest Asuswrt-Merlin. In the IPv6 tab at System log you can see which devices have a IPv6 adress.I'm not sure what to try next but it seems to me that the ASUS RT-AC56U even with the latest firmware must have some bug or perhaps I need to do a Static IPv6 configuration... maybe the NATIVE Connection Type is broken ?

As my original post said... any devices (laptops, PCs) that connect to the ATT uverse's modem/router/wifi get both ipv6 & ipv4 addresses ok and I can ping6 just fine.Maybe your modem or provider hasn't activated prefix delegation, that is necessary to give the router its own IPv6 prefix. Without an own prefix the router cannot give other devices an address. If that's the case you can try a static setup, but I have no experience with that.

My problem is the asus rt-ac56u when setup for Native ipv6 does get an ipv6 address from the att uverse modem/router/wifi (both routers are on the same ethernet).
But the Asus rt-ac56u only gets an IPv6 on its own WAN port (the lan link to the ATT uverse router).
The Asus wifi ports and the 4 physical LAN ports on the rear of the Asus all fail to get configured for IPv6.
ATT gave me a /64. Not sure why the ipv6 config of LAN and Wifi side of the asus is not being configured correctly. I've quite a few other web posts so far with what sounds like more or less the same problem as me. One common approach was swapping out the pace uverse for a motorola modem that perhaps supports ipv6 more?
If they give you a /64 prefix the modem cannot delegate prefixes to a router, a /56 prefix is quite normal so the modem can delegate 255 other prefixes to requesting routers.ATT gave me a /64.
