Rt-N66U IPv6 Slow

All is well in the universe again. The problem appears to have been a "bridge" connection I was using between my desktops and the Rt-N66U.

Hello, I know this is an older post, but I'm running into the same issue you were. How did you fix your bridge connection? How did you determine it? I can't see any "bridge" issue going on through any Windows 7 settings.

Can you help me out?

I assume Gapmn is talking about a wireless bridge connection, this requires an additional wireless device.
If your computers are directly wireless or wired connected to the router then you do not have a bridge.
A wireless bridge usually cost you 50% of the bandwidth.

Thanks for the response. Darn, was hoping my issue was a simple fix. I have no idea why I'm getting 24Mbps IPv6 speeds. I seem to be stuck at it.

In what way are you connected to IPv6?

I have a RT-N66U, setup with a 6in4 Tunnel to Hurricane Electric.
Using this test site:
http://ipv6-test.com/speedtest/
I do not see a huge difference, wireless connected to the router the download speeds for IPv4 and IPv6 are close to each other and close to the maximum of my contract with the ISP.
IPv6 is a little slower (1-2 Mbp/s) which for sure is due to the interaction of Hurricane Electric.

I'm on ATT UVERSE, Power Tier.

Regarding how my RT-N66U connects to the service, I use DHCPv6 with Prefix Delegation. This only works when the NVG589 residential gateway has IPv6 enabled on it.

I can switch over to Tunnel 6rd and input my settings. This setup only works when the NVG589 has IPv6 turned off.

Regardless of what method I use, sites such as Facebook, Xfinity's IPv6 speed test site, and other major sites do not load and timeout.

Turning IPv6 off completely at my RT-N66U and my NVG589 fixes this issue.

From what I can tell, ATT UVERSE has some major IPv6 issues. There's a nice thread going on over at DSLReports if you want to see.

Generally speaking though, doing some searches on this issue coupled with ATT UVERSE, it would seem many of us end users are experiencing IPv6 issues with speed and timeouts.

Plugging directly into the NVG589 provides IPv6 speed and sites load, however I'd have to bypass my RT-N66U to do that. That's not the setup I want. Something is happening between the RT-N66U and the NVG589...and how this combination works with IPv6.

So far, no one can figure it out.
