IPv6 Router Config for Matter test environment

[Ignacio]

Hi,

In this matter doc:

developer.nordicsemi.com/.../ug_matter_gs_testing_thread_separate_otbr_android.html

It mentions configuring a router in the following mode:

1x Wi-Fi Access Point supporting IPv6 (without the IPv6 Router Advertisement Guard enabled on the router)

I've got a TP-Link Archer AX73 and I can't see that option. These are all the config options under IPv6:

- Internet Connexion Type:

- Assigned Type.

- Address Prefix

- MAC clone

Appreciate any input on how to configure this router as part of a Matter test environment.

Hi Ignacio,

If you cannot find Router Advertisement (RA) Guard feature configuration in your router, then it is likely that the router does not support it and there is nothing to worry about, as far as RA Guard goes.

I recommend you try just enabling IPv6, and leave the other configurations at the default value, and give things a few tests.
