Netgear Genie App and BT home hub 5
Hi all, I have a BT home hub 5 and a netgear ex7300 extender. Should I be able to use the netgear genie app on my iPhone/iPad. I am unable to connect it to my router for some reason.

What do you mean by "flavours"? They said it supports ipv6.
I bought a new router because the stability and performance of my home hub 5 was very frustrating. The new one has made a tremendous difference. On 5ghx I now get a download speed of about 43mbs & ping of 10/11 on the extender, at the farthest part of my house. Previously I could rarely use the 5ghx, & if even if I could, it would start to fail a few days later. That was my motive & concern but as a lay person I don't understand what problems you're suggesting I might have in the future.

There is no single, one size fits all, implementation of IPv6. All that was explained in the various messages that I linked to.
Go to page 80 in the manual for your device. Follow the instructions and go to the pages where you set up IPv6. Can you see somewhere to set it up for IPv6-PD?
I have no idea how it offers from other variants of IPv6. I do know that my modem also supports IPv6 but it does not to IPv6-PD. The Homehub does.
And an offocial response in those earlier links suggested that Netgear has no plans to enable this in the D7800.
