Hello i am struggling since yesterday and can not find a solution.

It seems that my provider has problems with his ipv6 dns.

I want to set in the Router Rt-Ac86u Google dns v6 so tu use this service to solve addresses.

When i configure manually on a network card Google dns it works fine but when I put it in the Ipv6 dns of the router it seems that it isn't used at all.

Could somebody please tell me which is the right way to use them from the router so that all network can benefit without having to manually configure every PC etc. ?
I use the Native option in ipv6 settings and they worked fine and the problem started 2 days ago, I discovered it by disabling ipv6 completely that I could reach sites that I could not reach when enabled.

P.s. I am not an advanced user so before telling me to use command lines I need a tutorial on how to but I hope this will not be necessary.

This should not be an issue for the RT-AC86U.

Did you perform a full reset to factory defaults and then minimally and manually configure the router to secure it and connect to your ISP after flashing RMerlin firmware on it?

If not, you may want to see and follow the M&M Config in my signature below.
 
Yes the Router was reset. It worked all fine and stopped suddenly so to avoid using my isp dnsv6 I want to manually use Google's but when I configure it in the router they seem not being used.
 
I read it but I'm sorry, didn't understand it if there is a solution or a way to force dnsv6 in the router that I want him to use.

In v4 by simply adding dns it is used why would it be different on v6?
 
Finally Provider solved the problems with their dns v6.

Still wanna see if I get Google's working.


Feel free to consider my case solved and close thread if you want to.
