Orbi and IPv6 Feedback and Experiences
For those with a Orbi AX or AXE systems and whom have native IPv6 support from there ISP, when you get a chance could you please check out how IPv6 is working if your ISP supports it natively. Especi...
I posted a bug on this with Netgear, but for months I have found IPv6 will not last long. After enabling it I get 10/10, but anywhere from 4 hours to 3 days I am at 0/10 and I have to re-enable it.
However, a breakthrough of sorts - I changed the IPv6 DNS servers to manual settings, the Google DNS servers - no more automatic Comcast DNS servers. I am in day 13 of IPv6 working perfectly, 10/10 the whole time!
To answer Furry's questions:
Please post who the ISP you use - Comcast
Brand and model# of ISP modem/ONT that the Orbi system is connected to - Netgear CM3000 (I saw problem with Netgear CM2050V as well)
IPv6 Type (Auto, DHCP, 6to4 Tunnel, etc) - Auto/becomes DHCP, also tried direct enabling using DHCP
Your default IPv6 DNS server(s) (ISPs, Google, Cloudfare, Quad9 etc.) - Problems that I report above happened with default Comcast DNS servers. Now use Google DNS servers that I enter manually - 2001:4860:4860:::8888 and 2001:4860:4860:::4444
Operating System of device used to test (Windows 11, Mac Ventura 13.5, iOS 16.5, etc.) - Failure was verified on MacBook Pro M3, MacBook Pro M2, iPad Pro 2021, and iPhone 15 Pro.
