WAX630E Very poor IPv6 performance

Hi All,   My WAX630E is not playing well with IPv6.   Lots of TCP retransmissions for traffic coming through the WAX630e when IPv6 protocol is used, IPv4 traffic comes through the AP just fine. ...

    Beta firmware has definitely fixed the slow IPv6 performance.

    Hopefully Netgear will incorporate this fix in their next release.

    Big thanks to to Tomasz from Netgear support team for excellent support and updates, his bosses should definitely give him as pay rise as workers like him give a good impression for the company.

This morning I did some more testing and when device is connected to SSID on WAX630E which uses default VLAN IPv6 traffic runs at full speed.

 

So performance issue and TCP retransmissions is happening only on VLAN SSID's.
