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 again, last mentions stated they were aware, were working on it, etc. I realize the 850 is old hardware but a properly working current firmware would be nice. Perhaps someone can share some insight on the delay? Thank you.

Is it correct to infer that prior to v7.2.7.15 being released in Feb, 2025, your Orbi 850 system worked correctly with IPv6 enabled, but since then you have been forced to not enable IPv6?
One of those discussions probably mentioned the ISP?

Correct. But I decided to stay on V7.2.6.31_5.0.24 since there are no IPv6 drops with this and prior versions. My ISP is Cox, I am on a fiber connection.
