I presume you mean that IPv6 is disabled on the RBR router?
Ya seen some ISPs have odd issues with IPv6. Not to mention Orbi FW can have some oddities as well.

yeah, might well be a PPPoE thing.
I ended up finding an old settings backup (from the Sky days) restoring that and reconfiguring the internet login section and, voilĂ everything started working again, exactly as before!

Thanks for the tips everyone, I'll just make a mental note to take a settings backup before I go anywhere near the IPv6 screens again until Plusnet get their act together!
