Need detailed guidance for X7 router in bridge mode

I need to setup my pfSense router to use IPv6 addressing. The IPv4 is working very well with my new 1.5 Gigabit service but I cannot find the technical data for Rogers implementation of IPv6.
Hoping there is an expert on this forum that can help me.

For most router/firewalls with a working IPv6 network stack, you should only need to set the WAN interface to Auto/DHCP and Rogers will assign you a public IPv6 address and an IPv6 PD.  The configuration on some devices can be a bit more involved but a basic configuration should still suffice.

 

A few years ago, I started the following thread with setup tips for using your Ignite gateway in bridge mode: https://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/Ignite-TV/Using-the-Ignite-TV-Modem-Gateway-in-Bridge-Mode/m-p... .  It should probably be updated but it can still be a useful resource for troubleshooting and asking technical questions.

 

When Rogers started supporting IPv6 on their network, one of their engineers provided configuration tips for a number of common devices, including the pfSense firewall: https://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/Archived-Posts/Rogers-IPv6-Status/m-p/373238/highlight/true#M1...

Best of luck with getting IPv6 up and running.  Hopefully it will only require some minor configuration changes on your end.

Thanks for the help.  But unfortunately, I went thru all the suggested links and had no luck.  I suspect the issues are surrounding the new interface screens in in the version pFSense 2.6.0 that I am running.  The instructions don't translate well.  Maybe the Netgate community has a solution.
