AX12 IPV6 bug with wan link aggregation?

I'm trying to get IPv6 functional with WAN link aggregatation, but it doesn't seem to pass any traffic.  Settings are set to Auto Detect, and I'm running firmware v1.0.1.108.  It picks up IPv6 addres...

I was looking through the manual and specifications for the RAX120. I found that is supports LAN port aggregation but I couldn't find anything about WAN port aggregation. 

Are you sure it supports this feature?

Yes, the RAX120 supports WAN aggregation, it’s selectable in the Internet Setup page. It’s WAN + LAN 1

      This wasn't a question of IF this can do WAN multilink aggregation, as it can with current firmware, it appears to not be functional with IPv6, only IPv4.    It will do DNS IPv6 resolution, and that's it.  ping ipv6.google.com correctly resolves ipv6.google.com, get timeout, timeout, timeout.   All IPv6 sites fail.  I've contacted support, enabled, disabled, rebooted for 30 seconds and at this point have packaged it back up and reinstalled my R9000, which works fine.  I need both IPv4 & IPv6 access for work to test our sites.   I only bought this router to run WAN multilink to my cable modem, as I'm using the 10G link on the R9000 or 5G link on the RAX120 to my PC. 

      Also, I've disabled IPv6 WAN multilink, running on single WAN port, and IPv6 still doesn't pass traffic.  IPv6 always results in no traffic being passed.

        Yeah sorry for going off topic I was trying to inform pleemans that WAN ahh is supported.

        Now as for your issue I don’t know which modem you are using but I know the Arris SB8200 and The Motorola 8600 modems both had major issues with WAN aggregation regardless of router in use. It could also very well be the RAX120 that’s problematic. I suggest you specifically ask support to see if they can set you up with an engineer via TeamViewer to see if it’s an issue on NGs end and they may be able to patch it if it is.
