No mention of IPv6 issues being fixed. Just a security fix.
Please try and post any findings or results.
Good Luck.

Early report after 12 hours,
came from .31 firmware. Flashed dirty with latest version. After several manual reboots, I still have IPV6 working. I had a few times that it disconnected and reconnected, but still working, confirmed.
RBKE964
IPV6 enabled.
I will update the report after 48 hours or if something should happen.

Mine went out after roughly 24 hours or sooner, didn't get a chance to check exactly...this was with v7.2.8.2. Haven't tried v7.2.8.5 since there was only a mention of security updates.
Let me know what you figure out. What I found was if you reboot IPv6 will connect again and eventually drop after a certain amount of time. So check after a few days without a reboot.
