If I'm using my ISP's native IPv6, why is my WAN address in Merlin IPv4?

heysoundude · Oct 6, 2020

I suspect there's some arcane logic to this, but if the majority of my client devices are showing up on the router with v6 addresses, why wouldn't the WAN address on Merlin's main page be v6?

Presumably all home routers have an IPv4 WAN address, but only a subset also have an IPv6 address, which is only displayed on the IPv6 pages.

I'm going to look into getting the UI/firmware to toggle somehow...hmmm...
