IPv6 Activation With Verizon FiOS
With the Orbi router (and previous Netgear routers) I found the only way to activate IPv6 is first use Auto Config. This will then default to 6to 4 Tunnel and give you a Router's IPv6 Address On L...
PaulGo another test you could try if you want to - it does appear there is a way to manually add an IPv6 address to an Android device. I have no Android expertise, so I include the link I found here:
If that makes sense to you and is doable, could you try adding a manual/static IPv6 address and manual 1.1.1.1 DHCP on one of your devices and see if IPv6 keeps working? I forgot to mention before, from my checking of message traffic, at least with Apple products there are a LOT of DHCP request messages, even in an hour despite whatever the lease time is! Devices are requesting DHCP much more frequently - at least every time they flip to a new mesh device, but even more. That certainly lends some credence to the possibility that the IPv6 IP address determination is getting messed up and therefore IPv6 is dropping.
To me there seems to be some evidence this is about just getting the NG router's DHCP and maybe DNS out of the way - but it could just be the DHCP.
