RBK850 Not Connecting/Struggling to Connect to Microsoft Exchange Servers
Need some help figuring this one out - in the last week or so, my Outlook is often failing to connect (or trying to connect for upwards of 45 seconds) due to some blocking/connectivity issues. My PC ...
Right now I have re-enabled it on Auto (I had just previously tried DHCP and it wasn't working - well, kept failing the IPv6 Test, which it is passing right now on Auto).
Pretty sure it was on Auto previously but for now, I will keep testing this in the current state.
Doesn't setting IPv6 to AUTO Detect revert to another setting? Mine goes to DHCP...
My IPv6 would work for about 5 hours or so then fail to connect. I tried multiple times a month and a half ago to trouble shoot with no luck, definitely a flaw in the firmware. I was using DHCP... still waiting on Netgear to get this resolved.

Completely agree. After a few days of testing, there is clearly a defect in/related to the Orbi.
I have been forced to disable IPv6 to ensure consistent access (and using CloudFlare WARP which gives me IPv6 via its VPN).
Very disappointing given that problems here only started a few weeks ago so it isn't clear to me if its is the firmware specifically or the actual hardware is failing (not yet ready to do a complete reset of the Orbi software).
Seems for those that had native IPv6 on prior FW versions that this newer FW version is broke and not a HW issue. You'll need to disable IPv6 to continue with this version of FW or downgrade back to prior working versions of FW where IPv6 is working. Please make contact with NG support about this as well.
