IPv6 With Verizon FiOS
I also have a Netgear R7000P router, which I use with Verizon FiOS. Recently, Verizon has implemented IPv6 in my area and soon will be implementing throughout all areas. The R7000P when I enable IPv...

I resolved the problem using the Netgear firmware! As previously stated Auto Detect gave me a 6to 4 tunnel. DCHP did not work. I just tried Auto Config and it gave me a LAN Address with the WAN address blank. However I then tried two IPv6 tests on my computer and it showed full IPv6 access. For some unknown reason the Netgear firmware does not show the WAN IPv6 address but it detects it and uses it with Verizon FiOS. I also tried this on my RAX45 without the same results.

The Netgear Firmware is the latest version 1.3.3.148. The ONT is new it was installed in January, 2022. The only identifing number on the ONT is ALCLCCCE2265 G-211M-C.

The ONT is a device that translates the fiber signal to one that router can use. It is somewhat similar to a cable modem except the user cannot access or query it.

Ya I think we know what ONTs do. Was checking to see if the ONT has a built in router already or not. By the number you provided, it's just a ONT only. No router built in. Built in router could cause problems.
I would contact the ISP to see what IPv6 configurations maybe needed or specific to there services.

The IPv6 configuration on the Netgear is limited. Again using DD-WRT it connected without any modifications.
