I've got a few lingering problems
I've got a few lingering problems: sometimes I can't print from iPad or iPhone to a Airprint (Epson) printer (on a 72 minute clock). If I turn on IPv6 on the printer, I can't print to it at all, because IPv6 isn't routed correctly to things plugged in the satellite. If I turn on IPv6 on the router itself every 10 minutes on a clock, it will fail to connect outside the house for a few seconds. About 1/2 the time I wifi connect the laptop I can't ping the Mac. I've gotten the worst of it hacked around.
I'm going to tolerate it for a little while and see if they go back and do a v1 firmware update and fix these things. If not, I'm going to buy an ASUS that can be flashed with open source Merlin firmware. Because we now live in the Mythos era where it's practical for a model to analyze reams of logs and offer fixes.
As far as I know, the Netgear can't be flashed, the settings can't be adjusted, and the links on the GPL page that I tried are all 404.
I appreciate all the work you put into running your problem to ground!

Oh! They make some money on security add-on subscriptions, I didn't think of that before. It's not all just hardware.
And for fun, here's a security tip: Set your DNS to 1.1.1.2 and it blocks known malware sites (not individual pages, but where the site as a whole is deemed malware). 1.1.1.3 blocks adult sites, too.
I forgot this other bug: If you set the DNS for IPv6 on the RBE771, it ignores the setting and just uses the IPv4 server settings.For more info including the 2nd addresses:
