Auto Config and Auto Detect do not maintain continued ipv6 addressing
I had forgotten how badly Orbi routers were with respect to maintaining ipv6 connectivity. I wish I had remembered this before spending THIS AMOUNT of money for the new WiFi 7 kit.
Auto Config and Auto Detect do not maintain continued ipv6 addressing.
I am on Xfinity 1Gbit service.

Not the first time the ISP would be involved in the IPv6 issues seen.
If I throw my Velop 6E router node back into position IPv6 is consistently maintained. That doesn't completely dissolve Xfinity from playing a role but considering how big of a provider they (Comcast) are, I would expect Netgear - also being preeminent - to have this stuff figured out by now - no matter the ISP handshaking going on.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.Does configuring 6to4 or Static work?
Firmware update today, to V9.10.1.4_1.1.12.
Same IPv6 issues.
This Orbi system is too expensive for being this dysfunctional!
Got this from someone I asked about there system and XF IPv6:
"I test ipv6 frequently since your post and have not had any issues with my Xfinity connection with ipv6."
Side-by-side with other makes of routers, I demonstrate consistent failures on the Orbi 7 2-pack I have. Linksys Velop 6e and a Qnap product perform flawlessly.
Still waiting on feedback from Netgear. Their engineering team has gathered a ton of info and debug logs from my environment.
