I have an unusual home configuration, in that I have a routed network.\u00a0 If you don’t know what this means, stop reading now as you are wasting your time.\u00a0 While the Apple Time Capsule advertises IPv6 capability, getting it working is rather difficult.\u00a0 To start with, if you do not use the wireless capability of the device, the controls are really non-obvious.\u00a0 For another, the Time Capsule appears to ignore the default route capability in routing advertisements.\u00a0 Hence a manual configuration is required:<\/p>\n

Looking to the left, one must select “Router” from the IPv6 mode and not “Host” as one might logically expect.\u00a0 Then, because RAs are not being handled properly, one must manually enter the default route (the long way).<\/p>\n
