Every time I get a response from Negear it is from a different first line agent.&nbsp; They seem to be following a script.&nbsp; Wth the help a&nbsp; top Comcast engineer we have identigied the problem with vCMTS and IPv6 disconnecting about every week.&nbsp; We need Netgears help in resolving the problem and I even forwarded to Netgear the findings of the engineer with a request for a supervisor to get involved.&nbsp; Dealing with Netgear so far has been very frustrating!
