IPv6 Filtering - open or secure?

The Orbi 970 settings under IPv6 has a new setting - "IPv6 filtering". Two choices are Open or Secure, it came default as secure.   Anyone know anything about this, and which may be preferred when?...

Ya Open is less secure.

It's been about 16 hours, and on my 970 system, IPv6 is running fine. I could not get more than 3-4 hours before it failed with this setting on Secure. It's Open now, and everything runs well. I opened a support ticket on it.
