Nighthawk RAX45 IPv6 routing works then stops. Resumes routing after RAX45 reboot, then stops again.
Nighthawk RAX45 Firmware Version V1.0.4.100_2.0.64. Advanced settings IPv6 on LAN as "DHCP" or "Auto Config" the IPv6 routing to the Internet STOPS/FAILS with either config. WAN side is DHCP wit...
IPv6 routing has remained up and running. So,in my case, it depends on the Comcast IPv6 address issued by Comcast DHCPv6 on the WAN side, AND the Comcast IPv6 net address assigned on the Netgear LAN side which are used for Netgear DHCPv6 on that LAN side. How those Comcast routable IPv6 addresses get to the LAN side, I do not know. Nonetheless, I guess I have "good" routing IPv6 addresses at this time (by luck).
Solution if IPv6 routing stops: Either 1] reboot RAX45, or 2] reset and "Apply" the IPv6 setting (described earlier in this thread) on the WAN side configuration.
What modem are you using?
DarrenM
DarrenM, thanks for the reply and question. The cable modem is Arris Surfboard SB6190, DOCIS 3.0 capable. No wireless, just the single coaxial and sinlge ethernet connectors. I own it. Connected to Comcast cable, which took a call to Comcast support to have them connect/configure it to their network.
I just checked online with Comcast/Xfinity to make sure the Arris SB6190 is approved and compatible with my local cable connection. It is.
Attached screenshot. Also shows it supports IPv6.
More information: I also now know that the Arris SB6190 cable modem has the Puma 6 chipset - known problems with latency - but my issue is with IPv6 routing stopping completely.
