IPv6 not working with German provider PYUR
So guys, I've been fighting to get IPv6 to work with my router. My ISP provides IPv6 Addresses, but the router only receives them randomly or not at all. When I flash FreshTomato 2020.5 on the r...
For everyone having the same problem with IPv6. Through trying to find a solution for the problem explained here https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/Nighthawk-X6-R8000-wifi-5g-second-not-working/td-p/1771235
The user at the very end mentions that 1.0.4.46 solved "the IPv6 Problem" for them.
I tried this firmware and effectively solved the IPv6 Problem and the Second 5GHz Radio disappearing problem.I have deactivated Auto-Updates seeing that Netgear tends to break more than they fix with the firmware updates.

By the way! I forgot to mention I am on latest Firmware 1.0.4.52
