RBE871, IPv6 failures on Gigaclear & old, old firmware
Still no update -- a year after the previous release -- for this issue? Snails pace doesn't begin to cover this abysmal lack of urgency.
RBE871 (Orbi Router) Firmware Version 10.5.20.4
The firmware that would resolve the IPv6 failure I was assured was due "real soon now". I'm hoping it won't take another year for Netgear to fix this.

Im currently testing beta FW and IPv6, though my IPv6 services are not native with my ISP, it's 3rd party service. So far doing good.
NG has been making progress on the Orib BE series and hoping improvements will keep coming.
Hoping the 870 series update will be seen on the horizon. Can't say when. We don't get that info.
Since the 970, 370 and 770v2 series have released v12 FW, 770v1 and 870 series should be next. I hope.
Please be patient.
