ipV6 disconnecting on Orbi RBR850
(NOT RBK53 model in drop down, why is RBR850 not there?) I have RBR850, firmware V4.6.7.13_2.1.9, and a CM1200 modem connected to Comcast's 1.2/40 service. All is working well, speeds, modem numb...

OK, it's been two weeks, and my IPv6 has been working perfectly all that time, no more disconnects! I am going to mark this thread as solved, with the update of firmware to 4.6.8.5 being the thing that fixed it. If others are still having trouble I suggest starting a new thread, as there may be multiple issues. Thanks everyone for your help!

I just did the ip test, and it failed. Now this time, the router still had ip addresses, but ipv6 was definitely not working.
Sorry if this is obvious, but could you please describe how you do the IP test?

https://test-ipv6.com/Way cool. Thanks. I particularly like the tab which explains how the tests were run. I'm guessing that "Fail" means that all of the IPv6 tests were not successful?
- donawaltApr 03, 2022Mentor - Experienced UserYes, sorry, I should’ve been more accurate. Any of those 10 tests related to IPv6 said fail. For example, there was no IPV6 IP address.

Mine is still working great. I made a couple posts that I have since deleted, I was mistakenly on another network. Sorry for any confusion that might’ve caused, everything is working great here!

- cdystheJul 07, 2022VirtuosoMy IPv6 goes out every 5 days or so. We are giving up and have ordered some Ubiquity gear and use that for now. I will check back every now and then to see if it's being fixed. The Orbi will be up but we turn all WiFi off.
