My Orbi RBR752 drops IPv6 every hour or so.
I have had my Orbi RBR752 (with the latest firmware) set up with IPv6 for a year on a Xfinity gigabit connection through a Netgear CM2000 modem. A few days ago I was changing the DNS settings for IPv...
Firmware is latest as far as I know: V4.6.5.14_2.0.54
I have had IPv6 enabled and working on this firmware until a few days ago when it now drops after an hour. I have to go in and disable/enable it again and it works for another hour or so. So this is a new problem. I have not made any changed to my system, same router/satellite/modem/connection. Maybe I have to factory reset? Restart the modem? I can't figure this out.
You can try factory resetting the router/modem if you'd like.
It could just be a xfinity issue.
It shouldn't impact much services if ipv6 is disabled.
It comes disabled from default and many don't even enabled.
- I have found that many have this IPv6 issue with Orbi systems on Comcast/Xfinity connections. Have a look here:

I really hope Netgear will fix this through a firmware update since Comcast won't redo their vCMTS implementation which seems to be causing the problem. Until that happens I'm wasting my time trying to fix this and will keep IPv6 disabled.
