Very weird IPv6 problem
So I have never seen this before....for reasons of instability documented here in other posts with this current version of firmware, I have IPv6 disabled on my network. However, today I saw something...
OF COURSE. Thats it. Ya, I know, we are last ones to get any information. Awesomeness.
Ya repeating of DHCP requests every few seconds solve that. Yayyyyyyy. 🎉
Mark it solved then. 😉
Interesting.
You in a beta program for Apple or is this the release OSX version?
Release version - never been in a MacOS beta. And it did this on both MacOS 14.1 and 14.1.1 (minor bug/security fix release) which I updated to today to see if that fixed it.
Does FireFox browser show same thing or disabled?
Seems like this maybe a Safari issue that you should post about to Apple. If IPv6 is disabled on the RBR and your devices are not getting any other internet connections from other sources, seems like Safari is reporting something that's inaccurate.
I did post it on an Apple forum. I’ll post back here if there’s a resolution. It does very much seem to be specific to Safari, but isn’t it odd that the IPv6 packets and information are getting through the router to the outside world that sees an IP address and other indications that IPv6 is working properly. We know Netgear routers and Apple products don’t work together 100% don’t we? 😉
