RBR 850 firmware v7.2.7.15, I just read on the netgear site this firmware is a problem for ipv6 and to set back the firmware to a previous version. I have checked my router settings many times in the advance ipv6 settings, currently set to DHCP
any thoughts from anyone who has experienced problems with ipv6 connection issues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
