[atlas] IPv6 Doesn't Work

Hi,
you pointed me to the right way. I enabled IPv6 on my Windows Laptop and it show the same symptoms - it receives an IPv6 address but is not able to reach any IPv6 target.

My setup looks like this:

Atlas Probe > Ubiquiti airRouter > provider's WIFI AP

When I connect my laptop stright to the provider's WIFI AP then IPv6 works all fine. When I connect to LAN port of my airRouter, it receives an IPv6 address but is not able to reach any IPv6 target.
So the point of failure seems to be my router. It is set to Bridge mode with WIFI as a client, connected to provider's AP.
Per the Manual:
----------------------------------------------------------
Bridge
In Bridge mode, the AirRouter forwards all network
management and data packets from one network
interface to the other without any intelligent routing. For
simple applications this provides an efficient and fully
transparent network solution. WLAN (wireless) and LAN
(Ethernet) interfaces belong to the same network segment
and share the same IP address space. WLAN and LAN
interfaces form the virtual bridge interface while acting as
the bridge ports. The bridge has assigned IP settings for
management purposes.
----------------------------------------------------------
The Bridge management interface shows following addresses assigned:
10.0.0.29
2A00:1028:8D1C:90DA:DE9F:DBFF:FE5C:632B/64
FE80::DE9F:DBFF:FE5C:632B/64

I would think the Bridge mode should not interfere the traffic in any way.

I have read only access to the provider's AP - it is cheap router with IPv4 NAT and IPv6 interfaces. It shows an IPv6 address [starting with 2a00:1028:] on its WAN IPv6, LAN IPv6, IPv6 Default Gateway, IPv6 DNS server, etc. As I said, when I connect laptop stright to the provider's AP, IPv6 works.
I'm unable to to setup my airRouter for IPv6 to work. It supports IPv6, but in bridge mode it has no settings available.
I tried multiple factory resets, with various settings, and also tried to switch the airRouter to SOHO Router mode, then there is IPv6 Enable checkbox. While it is checked, I tried various settings, such as SLAAC, DHCPv6, etc. No go. Looks the IPv6 support in this router is broken.

It's a pity I cannot connect Atlas Probe v3 stright to the provider's WIFI eventhough it has WIFI hardware onboard. There is no way I could connect stright by LAN cable to the provider.

It looks for now I have to leave the Probe live with IPv6 broken.

Cheers
Jiri
