I tried reverting back to the old firmware (other users reported success getting IPv6 working again with the downgrade), but it did not work for me.
I would downgrade the satellites first, and as I am about to downgrade the main router, I see the satellites, after successfully downgrading, upgraded to the latest (and broken) firmware on their own, even though I have auto-update turned off.
I tried the downgrading 3 times before giving up.
To downgrade correctly, What I do is disconnect the RBR from the ISP services. Manually downgrade the RBS first using there web pages, not the RBRs web page. When they've been sent there FW file, send the RBR FW file. Let the system process. When the system is back online an ready, factory reset and setup from scratch using a wired PC. Still with the RBR not connected to any Internet sources. After the system is setup and running, Make sure to disable Auto FW update check on the RBR. After all this, then connect the RBR back to ISP services. System should be up and running and should not update. I've done this many times.
This PDF guide is what I use all the time for upgrading and downgrading.
