solved How to enable ipv6 router advertisement on br1?

I am using the default br0 (VLAN 1) as my wireless VLAN

I added a new bridge (br1) with VLAN 3 (eth0.3) using the following scripts (my wired LAN)

admin@RT-AC56U-BF10:/jffs/scripts# cat  services-start
#!/bin/sh
touch /tmp/000brstarted
# add vlan 3 to eth0
ip link add link eth0 name eth0.3 type vlan id 3
ip link set dev eth0.3 up
# add vlan 3 (eth0.3) to br1
brctl addbr br1
brctl addif br1 eth0.3
ifconfig br1 192.168.xxx.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.xxx.255
ip -6 addr add 2001:470:xxxx:1::1/64 dev br1
robocfg vlan 1 ports "0 1 3t 8t"
robocfg vlan 3 ports "2 3t 8t"
# iptables -I INPUT -i br1 -j ACCEPT
# iptables -I FORWARD -i br1 -j ACCEPT
exit
#

admin@RT-AC56U-BF10:/jffs/scripts# cat firewall-start
#!/bin/sh
touch /tmp/000fwstarted
iptables -I INPUT -i br1 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD -i br1 -j ACCEPT
exit

How do I enable ipv6 router advertisement on br1?

I believe I need to put something in /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add

Also what do I need to add to ip6tables?

Not my area of expertise, but I suspect you might need to modify dnsmasq's configuration - it's the service that handles RAs.

I got RA working but DNSv6 servers aren’t being supplied to windows 7 PCs.

My dnsmasq.conf.add

admin@RT-AC56U-BF10:/jffs/configs# cat dnsmasq.conf.add

interface=br1

dhcp-range=br1,::,constructor:br1,ra-stateless,64,7200s

dhcp-option=br1,option6:dns-server,[2001:470:xxxx:1::251]

dhcp-option=br1,option6:dns-server,[2001:470:xxxx:1::252]

dhcp-option=br1,option6:dns-server,[2001:470:xxxx:1::1]

My firewall-start script

admin@RT-AC56U-BF10:/jffs/scripts# cat firewall-start

#!/bin/sh

touch /tmp/000fwstarted

iptables -I INPUT -i br1 -j ACCEPT

iptables -I FORWARD -i br1 -j ACCEPT

ip6tables -I INPUT -i br1 -j ACCEPT

ip6tables -I FORWARD -i br1 -j ACCEPT

exit

My corrected dnsmasq.conf.add

interface=br1
dhcp-range=br1,::,constructor:br1,ra-stateless,64,7200s
dhcp-option=br1,option6:dns-server,[2001:470:XXXX:1::251],[2001:470:XXXX:1::252],[2001:470:XXXX:1::1]

I've noticed this as well, this version of DNSmasq doesn't send over custom DNS servers - it still sends its self as a DNS Server for clients no matter what you set. I haven't had time to debug now that I'm on a new router, but I may simply try to replace the binary and see how it works.

With my corrected dnsmasq.conf.add it is sending my servers for br1.

I haven’t tried changing the br0 servers
