Sky Fibre & Unifi Dream Machine

Hi all,

 

Hoping that I can get some help as I'm loosing my hair with this issue.

 

Been using Dream Machine Pro for the last 2 & half years with Sky Broadband (copper w/ Draytek) & no issues.

 

Switched over to Fibre over a month ago & plugged from the OpenReach modem straight into the Dream Machine & everything is working fine, until 12:55pm today where it's showing that there is no Internet available.

 

I've plugged in a Sky Broadband Hub & that's working fine, restarted the UDMP no dice, messed around with any DHCP settings that I've found online & nothing.

 

So I'm hoping that someone by the grace of god on here has got some sort of idea or help!

 

Thanks for listening to the rant!

Hi @KGx 

Glad you managed to find the solution yourself, but yes just to confirm the issue is due Ubiquiti Unifi routers asking for MAP-T (by including DHCPv6 Option 95), but then not actually supporting MAP-T.


The ideal solution would be for Ubiquiti to develop support for MAP-T, the next-best solution would be for them to stop asking for MAP-T until they do support it.  The next best solution is as you've found, sadly disabling DHCPv6 on the WAN (not something I would usually recommend!). 
Finally, we do have the ability to forcibly disable MAP-T per service if we have to, if anyone is reading this and is having this exact issue but also really wants to keep IPv6, feel free to DM me and I'll see what I can do.
