    trentm,

     

    Kindly upgrade the firmware of the FVS318N in a ladderized manner.  For example, upgrade the firmware from v4.0.1-67 to v4.1.0-27. Then from v4.1.0-27 to v4.1.1-8  and so on until you reach the latest firmware v4.3.4-2.  Use a PC that is directly connected to the FVS318N in upgrading the firmware.  You may download the firmware versions of the FVS318N here.

     

    Let us know the results.

Thanks for sticking with me. Pictures worth a thousand words. Didn't notice I could insert images in my earlier posts :/

 

I do not have that:

This is what I was unclearly attempting to ask in my OP "Documentation all shows a IPV4 | IPV6 radio selector in upper right but I don't have that."

I guess my real question is: is getting that option to appear a configuration issue, or a firmware/version issue?

 

I also mentioned "Other Network config screens like WAN Settings (where docs also show the radio selector) give me separate tabs for 4 vs 6"

My version:

Documentation:

This all seems to me to point to a firmware issue, but was just hoping to get confirmation of that.

Seems I probably need to make a trip to the data center.

    It will take me some time to schedule a maintenance window on this production site so for now will workaround by remoting to my work system and then a second hop to the router.

    This seems like the the problem so I'm marking as the accepted solution and will update the topic (if it lets me) after I am able to do the updates.

     

    Thanks for the help DaneA!
