Description

esp32 wifi station dosn't got an IPv6 address

when pc and esp32 connected to the same WIFI Router,
the pc got an IPv6 address correctly,
but esp32 wifi station dosn't got an IPv6 address.
how to fix this issue ?

Looks like your have problems with DHCP-V6, for me it works great, with few changes...

Note: GOT_IP6 firing two times, one for AP_START and other for STA_CONNECTED.
