I do not know if a lot of people are running into this issue. I do know that this issue makes updating/installing packages a pain as it just hangs for a long time.

This is what I have come accross

Making this change allows the router to actually access ipv6 and all issues with updating/package manger stop.

"On WAN interface check "Only request an IPv6 prefix, do not request an IPv6 address".
ATT doesn't provide a routable IP to the interface."

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Hey! Its Netgate Forum me! I noticed it because I couldn't access IPv6 DNS servers. I think this might should be added to the docs. @MonkWho ?
