Cannot get IPv6

I am trying to enable IPv6 but am unable to. "No IPv6 address detected" when using check site.

I have a ET2251 DOCSIS 3.1 modem, and am using a TP Link Archer A8 router.

I have enabled and reset IPV6 on my windows machine and have enabled IPV6 on my TP link router.

I have also tried bypassing my router connected my desktop directly to my modem and still no IPv6 connectivity.

I also called Spectrum tech support and they said it should work, that they see that my modem has IPv6.

Am i just spinning my wheels and IPV6 is not available to me ? I am in Northern Nevada. what else can it be ?

thanks

    Hello @Yakl

    Welcome to our Community Forums! Sorry to hear that you're unable to to connect with IPv6, i am happy to help! Have you tried on any devices other than your Windows machine?

    Basically can let the router autoconfig things... just want to make sure two things are set:

    Native IPv6 mode

    /56 subnet delegation for a typical home network group.

    Can use different size subnets, but want to make sure you have enough addresses.

    Anything larger (smaller number) may not be granted... go too small (larger number) and you may not have enough addresses to connect all of your devices.

    Despite what is published, many locations Spectrum does not actually provide IPv6. My location, for example, is fibre to the home (new subdivision) and I had a tech out here to confirm it just is not supported. My last house, it worked fine.
