IPv6
Since replies have been turned off on all previous discussions regarding the IPv6 trouble introduced with version 7.2.7.15 and newer, I needed to create a new thread. Checking in on this once aga...
I loaded up my 854 series yesterday with newest FW version v.8 and got it factory reset. Soon as I can complete setting it up today or this weekend, will be putting it online as my main home network system and have IPv6 enabled though not ISP native, I use a 3rd party IPv6 service available and will get the 850 configured for it and see what happens.
There is one user over on reddit reporting that IPv6 has been working for them and there 960 series on prior v.5 released FW and has just updated to v.8 on there system and will continue to monitor. There IPv6 ISP native there.
I did run 8.5 a while back with no luck, IPv6 dropped. I'll keep an eye on the posts and see what is mentioned regarding this latest .8 version
Ok, Up and running with IPv6 enabled.
Currently getting passing results:
Will monitor in next 3 days.
Fingers crossed đ€

So good news, IPv6 is working so far. On Ethernet devices.
Bad news is that I found a problem with WiFi devices. Wifi devices are failing to get a IPv6 Gateway Address and not getting full IPv6 DNS addresses as well. Apple, Android, Intel BE200, AX210, NG A9000 and a DLink DWA-192 Adapters all fail in getting full IPv6 addressing. So IPv6 is broke here.
I can confirm that with my 970 series using same 3rd party IPv6 services and configuration, these wifi devices get full IPv6 networking services.
Not sure if NG will make any changed or fix anything. If the AX and AXE series has gone EoL, NG would only do security updates when needed. I'll see if I can ask them about this though.
