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.

    You'll have to use 3rd party FW then if that works.
