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!

Eve Home and Eve Weather describe their wireless connection as Bluetooth Low Energy. IPv6 has nothing to do with Bluetooth Low Energy.
They both require an Apple iPhone or iPad for local access and either an Apple HomePod or AppleTV for access when away from home.
Not sure how that equates to "work better" with IPv6?

I was told that "Eve runs on Thread which is designed around IPv6". How it otherwise works I do not know. I do not know why the X-box works better with IPv6 either. I just use the stuff. What I do know is that IPv6 is currently broken on Orbi systems. Whether it's an ISP or Netgear issue I yet again do not know. I, and others just want it to work again.
