I would and would at least let NG know what your seeing in regards to IPv6 AND the HDD Readyshare issue.

Fixing the ipv6 tunnel settings seems to have solved ALL my issues. not sure why incorrect ipv6 settings caused the router to act so flaky though. I do have one oddity to report however. the other day some of my devices (or the apps on the devices) started reporting a lack of internet connection, despite strong evidence to the contrary. today I went into the router's advanced settings only to fond that the IPv6 settings had reverted back from 6RD to 6to4. i switched the setting back, and strangely enough, the settings i had used for 6RD, were still entered. once i switched the settings back to 6RD, and the ipv6 LAN settings back to Auto Config, IPv6 started worki. ng again. the device and apps stopped reporting lack of internet connection as well.
On another front, Verizon is putting up some new towers and I have reserved one of ten available slots for their home internet service. It will mean that I will need to switch the RAXE500 to bridge mode, but that is something that is probably minor. we will probably sign up for the trial to try the service. at around $5 for around 300Mbps speed and no throttling or data caps, it is too good of an offer to pass up, especially since the service we are currently live does not plan to extend their 2Gbps fiber service to where we live. Only issue is, since my current ISP no longer offers the service plan we are using, if we find the Verizon service unacceptable and decide to switch back, we won't be able to as the 'low speed broadband' plans are no longer offered.

So what did you do exactly to fix the IPv6 6to4 Tunnel problem?
Be aware that there is new FW available for the 500:
