IPV6 on RAX200 router not working after 1.0.2.88 or 1.0.2.92 Updates. This router is connected to the Netgear CM-1150 Modem. My provider is Comcast. Had to roll back to a previous 1.0.2.8 firmware update. I spoke with Netgear 3 weeks ago and they are aware of this issue. By now I would have thought they would have released a fix with the current firmware update of 1.0.2.92, but as always they are slow to fix. I am disappointed with their Software Quality Control. This is my last Netgear product. Big bucks for RAX200, Not worth the money when there is slow support for their most expensive routers. All my older cheaper Netgear routers have no problem with IPV6. Netgear you are going backwards. Still waiting for the fix!!

Hello JohnDiV, I may have a trial firmware that may help resolve your issue. If you're interested, please send me a private message with your email address and serial number. Christian

Christian +1 to Christian_R's offer. If you're blocked due to IPv6, his trial firmware version seems to do the trick, at least verified w/ DHCP-based IPv6 (such as most Comcast and Xfinity plans). Seems specifically just for this issue I believe... Thanks for helping Christian!

William3087 wrote:i did updated abd still didint workThe version in the Hotfix link is one of the two in the subject line (1.0.2.92). It does NOT fix IPv6.To get IPv6 to work, PM Christian_R and ask if he can provide a Trial firmware to address IPv6 issues for the RAX200.It's NOT 1.0.2.88 NOR 1.0.2.92 (different version that's not posted and not publically available).

Go to the Netgear support page for the router and select downloads. Scroll down and you will see previous downloads. There might be a little down arrow you hit to see them all. There they list the past several firmware updates. You will see firmware 1.0.2.8 there. I used that to get back IPV6. Use it until they fix the IPV6 issue. Netgear broke it in the 3 latest updates. Update 1.0.2.98 is the latest that also fails the IPv6 test after the computer comes out of sleep mode or when you reboot it. It works at first then it just looses IPV6 . So I would not think they have a handle on it yet. I am past the time to return the RAX200 router since Netgear keeps/kept telling me a fix is coming, so I am going use the RAX200 as an access point (AP) in my setup. An AP does not control IPV6 only the main router does. I went and ordered an ASUS11000 router and hope they have better Quality Control on their firmware updates and IPV6 works. I am giving up on Netgear. RAX200 is a very expensive AP and stuck with it but I need IPV6 so I will use the RAX200 for something. Who would think Netgear would mess up IPV6 in these router models since it has been out since 2011. The one problem that the firmware 1.0.2.8 has is that it does not have the latest fixes and additions the new updates have that lost IPV6 capability. Good Luck!

No thanks, I have moved on from Netgear. The RAX200 is a $600 paperweight. Netgear used to be good

  Yes, the router is garbage. Netgear has no clue when it comes to AX. I will end up selling mine for a loss. I have gone back to AC for now, I bought the Deco M9 Plus from Costco. Mesh wifi is not for everyone but the system has been rock solid for me. I also put DD-Wrt on my older Netgear and bridged it on the 5ghz and set the 2.4 in ap mode to make the transfer of my 2.4 devices to the mesh single ssid a breeze
