Q: ipv6 Connection to 3801HGV

2Wire 3801HGV connects to vDSL network. I have cabeled an AirPort Extreme (7.6.4) on the ethernet and am using for Wireless, supporting Apple connectivity functions as well as network backup. All running IPV4.

 

The ethernet for the 3801HGV is using a private IP network with NAT to the Internet. The AirPort Extreme uses a static IPV4 address to connect with the 3801HGV. The LAN for the AirPort uses a different private IP network with NAT back to the 3801HGV (double NAT).

 

My MacBook Pro uses a static IPV4 address to the ethernet of the 3801HGV. The 3801HGV automatically assigns an IPV6 address to the MacBook Pro.

 

Here is the issue: Why doesn't the 3801HGV assign an IPV6 to the AirPort?

 

Don't say ask 2Wire because as an Apple consumer I would expect both the MacBook and the Airport to offer the same IP capabilities overall. The AirPort's internet options are set for automatic IPV6 configuration in native mode and the MacBook is set for Automatic IPV6.

AirPort Extreme, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
