Regarding Barrier-Breaker: The default settings in OpenWRT with bridges are unfortunately broken (in that breakes multicast, which means broken IPv6): https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2014-September/027859.html https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2014-September/027876.html (the first one is my "favourite", a typical OpenWRT feature patch: awesome idea, good intention, but being applied to the repo without any peer-reviewing and broken; instead of going through upstream first...) You'll probably want to disable the multicast-to-unicast feature or even the bridge snooping as a whole for now. Cheers, Linus
