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...
Something to contact NG support and to see if they can get it fixed.
Most telnet changes won't persist past a reboot.
I recommend letting NG now about this.

After a week of trying to get it to work. I got it. It turned out my ISP uses DHCPv6 PD. If the device requests both IA-NA first, and IA-PD then NoAddrAvail message for the IA-NA will be return and well the whole process is dead. Since there is no way to configure any of this in the UI. Heck it's buried in one page in the basement just to show you how Netgear prioritize IPv6 in 2020. Through this wonderful post I got enough to Telnet into the router and updated the sequences in /etc/dhcp6c.conf and got it working.
But here's the problem. Whenever the router reboot, it wipes out the changes. I'm forced to Telnet in again to make the update.
Does anyone know where I can stop the router from resetting /etc/dhcp6c.conf? Any help will be greatly appreciated. It's really frustrating to be dealing with this in 2020.
