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...
This is still an ongoing issue. I've seen on Reddit that many Netgear/Comcast users are struggling with this. My current procedure when it happens is to set IPv6 to Auto Detect. Takes around 30 second to be set to 6-4tunnel. Then set it back to DHCP. Wait another 30 seconds and I mostly have a new IPv6 address for a few days until it drops again. This has to be fixed soon!
I also have Comcast IPv6 enabled, stateless (Auto-Config) instead of stateful (DHCP Server). I'm using xFi Gateway as the main router to take advantage of Unlimited Data Plan and to avoid compatibility issues between Comcast/Netgear firmware. My Orbi is running in AP mode and has no issue dealing with IPv6. If you must have IPv6 enabled, an alternative option is available or continue to wait for a fix. Good luck!
