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!

Would be good to know if this still happens with newer FW:

I am on 4.6.8.2_2.1.9 (Orbi RBR850) and I am one of the ones reporting the problem so yes it does occur on the latest firmware.

  Did you power OFF and back on the ISP modem and RBR for 1 minute or factory reset and setup from scratch then test IPv6?

    I have done it all several times. The IPv6 is lost after approximately a week. Then I have to toggle IPv6 to disable and on again, then do auto detect which gives me 6to4tunnel and then set DHCP. If none of that works I have to reboot the router and modem also. It's time consuming and annoying.
