When you unplug the router for about 30 seconds and plug it back in, everything is back to normal. That is, for a few more days and you have to repeat the procedure in order to get IPV6 back. Clearly this is not an ISP issue, otherwise you could reboot the router many times and not get IPV6.

 

Is this a known issue or is there something weird going on here?
