The IPv6 performance is great - it just takes longer to set IPv6 up than does IPv4 (or their respective setup is serialized in the device code; IPv6 setup always follows IPv4 setup in the log).
I suspect others may find this to be true as well.
The message was just a surprise because I'd not seen it before this build.
..maybe add a note in the docs about this, but I don't see the need for a code change.
In my case, 4.8 completely broke my cellular connection on the GL-X3000.

After reviewing the qcm command logs, I suspected there was an issue with passing parameters as arguments. The APN wasn't using the -s flag, which is required according to the qcm help output. I patched it myself, but I'm surprised that I appear to be the only one experiencing this issue.
Same issue with my x3000 upgrade; lost cellular settings and VPN wireguard settings
Mine was also broken, but that's because it wiped my custom modem (SIM) config that included a specific APN my carrier requires. Once I restored that, my connection proceeded normally.
In my case, restoring SIM card configuration wasn't enough.
To fix my connection, I'd to login to router through SSH and manually fix a few lines in qcm.sh.

Could you let me know which version you upgraded from to v4.8.0? Also, what was the DHCP configuration in the previous version?
No 4.8 for Slate GL-AXT1800 ?!!
@em411 Before dialing in v4.8 qcm.sh, the APN parameters have been set, so there is no need for the -s option during dialing. Please provide the return values of the AT+CGDCONT? and AT+CGPADDR commands after dialing
AT+CGDCONT
OK

Here's a diff with changes that I made:
May I ask what version of tailscale you are shipping with 4.8? Its a quite old version in 4.7.7.
@em411 Here ${cid:=-n $apn_use} Did you remove it? This means using the first way to bearer dial-up, removing it may cause problems, you can restore the original script, then dial, and then see the results, or share the device to goodcloud, I check it remotely
I upgraded to version 4.8 on an X3000 and noticed a minor GUI issue. When hovering over the hamburger menu, the "Lock Operator" text overlaps with "Modem AT Command." Adjusting the text size didn’t resolve it. This occurs in Safari 18.4.
Additionally, the modem uses AT&T 5G+ (N77), but the GUI displays "AT&T 5G." Could an option be added to show "5G+" in the GUI for consistency with AT&T’s alpha tag?

@ikun, I upgraded from 4.7.4 release.
The prior DHCP settings were defaults except for a reservation for my OPNsense firewall.
Except for when I want to test without the firewall, no other clients can connect there.
I noticed tower options smearing, too in Win11 Firefox
I reversed my changes and it won't connect anymore using the same Sim Card Settings.

And yes, I've removed it on purpose, because I can't connect with it, even with -s "$apn" added.
@Update
Now I'm using this and it's working fine:
if [ "$apn_use" != "-1" ];then
if [ "$apn_use" != "" ]; then
#pdp_type='-4 -6'
proto_run_command "$interface" qcm ${pdp_type:=-4 -6} \
${cid:=-n $apn_use} \
${apn:+-s $apn} \
${username:+ $username} \
${password:+ $password} \
${auth:+ $auth}
else
proto_run_command "$interface" qcm ${pdp_type:=-4 -6} \
${apn:+-s $apn} \
${username:+ $username} \
${password:+ $password} \
${auth:+ $auth}
fi
else
proto_run_command "$interface" qcm ${pdp_type:=-4 -6}

I upgraded to this new firmware to test it but noticing an issue with using adguard DNS and forcing all connections through VPN. Even though Services from GL iNet are set to use VPN I am noticing DNS leaks when testing using browserleaks. I have to switch to using encrypted DNS and turn off adguard for the DNS leaks to stop.
My GL-X3000 shows 1.66.4-1 (OpenWrt)
[update] ... but at the CLI I can update it to 1.82.5 while the Tailscale admin console still reports the old version. Odd.
[update x2] I little pushing and shoving and I now see 1.82.5 for the version in the Tailscale admin console.

I think I also have a problem with DNS and FW 4.8. As soon as I update the firmware, I get a notification from my provider that port 53 UDP should be open on my IP address, and I should disable it because it could lead to DOS attacks. I have certain devices running over VPN.
There is indeed an issue with the tower icon display, the internal team has found this issue, it will be fixed in the next release, thank you for your feedback

- The VPN server running does not need to open port 53 on the WAN.
- GL router does not open port 53 for WAN by default. How do you know the port 53 be open?
- Did the GL router enable the "Drop-in Gateway" mode?
