Stop router from overriding /etc/dhcp6c.conf
It's well documented that the Netgear really suck at IPv6. I need it to work from home as we need to test IPv6 related apps. I bought this latest greatest router thinking it'll work out of the box. A...
The only difference I see between that example and my Orbi is the name of the interface, correct?
i.e. mine reads "brwan" and the reference is "wanifname"
My Orbi is on a UPS and goes months without rebooting.
If the issue is really important (really, really), you might consider running Voxel's firmware. I believe he has included provisions to perform actions upon reboot. Check the "QuickStart.txt" file in the latest release:

You are correct. We are on brwan and eth0 on the Orbi.
Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love the Orbi but it's frusrating that the firmware is so limited with IPv6. Searching these forums and Google really give you the level of frustration people have with the lack of support for IPv6.
Thanks for the firmware suggestion. It's unfortunate but I'm going to have to give a 3rd party firmware a try.

So, I'm "not getting it." What exactly has to be changed in the Orbi conf file to make IPv6 work correctly? i.e. change "brwan" to "wanifname"?
Oh, I keep forgetting. I am on Spectrum which probably does IPv6 differently than your ISP.
interface brwan { send ia-pd 11; request domain-name; request domain-name-servers; request ntp-servers; request sip-server-domain-name; request sip-server-address; script "/etc/net6conf/dhcp6c-script"; }; id-assoc na 1 { }; id-assoc pd 11 { };Removed send na 1;
or flip the order around
send ia-pd 11;send na 1;
I ended up removing it.
