That is the global address of your router.

Ping is not enabled on your router.

D:\FIDO>ping 2602:306:83c1:a710::1

 AP> Link-local IPv6 Address

The so called link local address of your router. Only vaild on the LAN.

 AP> IPv6 Addressing Subnet (including length)
 AP> 2602:306:83c1:a710::/64

That is the subnet assigned to your LAN. Any device on your LAN that supports IPv6 will get one or more IPv6 addresses in this range.

 AP> WHich one is my inbound IP address?

You do not have just ONE inbound IPv6 address. Every device on your LAN has one or more of them.

Type ipconfig in the console of one of your Windows machines and tell us what happens.



Cheers, Michiel
