I'd like to shell into my Orbi to set up DHCP6-PD by editing my dhcp6c.conf file as per this:
This seems to be the way to enable IPV6 because my ISP requires a IA-PD and NO IA-NAIt is really annoying that Netgear does not assign someone to keep the list of products up to date.
Alas, there is no known method to enable SSH or telnet on the AX series of routers. The most recent firmware release for the original Orbi series removed telnet from the 'debug' menu, but there is a Python script that can be used to enable it. (I do.) So modifying configuration files is not going to happen.
Can you identify which ISP forbids an ia-na parameter? I cannot imagine the ipv6 configuration file being different from one Netgear router to another, so this would seem to make all Netgear routers incompatible with this ISP. And, you've probably had this 850 more than 90 days and thus cannot contact Netgear.
Wow, this question is 'deep in the weeds'. My head practically swims trying to understand, for example:
I would be tempted to use the debug option to 'capture WAN/LAN traffic' and Wireshark to see exactly what the Orbi is sending during the startup discussion.
