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!
Kewl. Keep us posted on this...like to know if you see any issues with the CM2000 modem.
Hoping IPv6 is getting better. Where this is happening is still not fully known or understood.
Will do!
I have very good news! I installed the FW update V4.6.14.3. I factory reset and set it up again. IPv6 dropped after an hour. I set it to DHCP and got another IP and it has stayed stable for more than a week now. So maybe the FW update did solve this problem. I have not had IPv6 connections for more than a year so I am hoping this fixed it.
I wish I knew in more detail what Netgear did in the latest FW upgrade. The changelog is not very detailed.
Anyway, very good news, at least for me! 🙂
Great news to hear. Hoping that some bugging with this issue at NG has done something good.
Glad it's working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

- So reset and restore settings is just as good as reset and enter settings manually?

In that case, the reset clears the garbage and reinstalling the configuration is great. On the other hand, if the actual saved config file is corrupted, restoring it will restore the garbage. I prefer to spend 10 minutes taking a chance on restoration before committing to two hours of manual data entry.
Just checking to see if this is still a problem for you or not in new v7 released FW?
