Multiple IPv6 addresses is the norm.

From that device do a tracert -6 www.google.com and see where it takes you.

This is one of those "I have to see how it plays out."

The IPv6 tests at test-ipv6.com still fail.  I haven't changed a single setting since earlier today.  Meanwhile, my desktop passes all of the tests at test-ipv6.com but can't ping any IPv6 hosts (e.g., Google).

This is maddening!

??? it fails and it works??

My laptop on wifi was not assigned an IPv6 address earlier today.  Now, when I type "ipconfig /all" I see it having been assigned two different IPv6 addresses:

Code: [Select]
Autoconfiguration Enabled.....: Yes
IPv6 Address........................:2600:1700:fc0:864f:588c:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx (Preferred)
Temporary IPv6 Address........:2600:1700:fc0:864f:17e:xxxx:Xxxx:xxxx (Preferred)

The IPv6 tests at test-ipv6.com still fail.  I haven't changed a single setting since earlier today.  Meanwhile, my desktop passes all of the tests at test-ipv6.com but can't ping any IPv6 hosts (e.g., Google).

This is maddening!
This may be a silly question but are you allowing ICMP for IPv6 through the firewall (it is needed)?

[EDIT]Have you also tried this site to see what's happening: http://ipv6-test.com/

The following two sites are also useful for testing IPv6:

https://ipv6.chappell-family.com/ipv6tcptest/
https://www6.chappell-family.co.uk/cgi-bin6/ipscan-js.cgi

My goto site for ipv6 testing, but even that fails ICMP with a default windows 10 setup as it blocks ICMP in the windows firewall, you need to turn off the windows firewall to get a nearly perfect score, and a have a reverse DNS entry to score 20, my mail server does. :)

There’s a reason I got reassigned to software QA for a few years.  I have a unique ability to find edge cases no one else does.
