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. 😉

Well last year CC/XF started doing this mid-split thing. I presume there was some of this involved as well as I had seen others, not with IPv6 issue, just bad services here and there in general after they started rolling this new configuration out. I presume this may have caused other issues like IPv6 operation to be effected as well. Hard to say where it all comes down too. Seems like if maybe the ISP has corrected there side and browsers maybe have been updated to better handle IPv6 testing, could have been root cause all along. Though there still maybe some NG handling as well in IPv6 protocols. Still probably haven't updated the core framework since 2016 from what we know.

Netgear probably didn't tell you FURRYe38 they fixed it by having the router send out more DHCP messages to all the devices 😆

So it's probably been about 6 weeks and IPv6 has been working perfectly!
