Use the NIST Internet Time Servers Atomic Clocks for your NTP Settings.

Are sure your ISPs IPv6 protocol is 6to4. Do they have IPv6? Who is your ISP.

What about them are "broke"?

What was your "usual" reset and restart "afresh"?

Hi,

 

I updated my R8000P to this firmware last night, performed a factory reset and setup from scratch.

 

DNS seems to be working fine without IPv6 enabled.

 

Address Reservation under LAN Setup

Adding a reservation either via the table or manually you get the message below:

 

 

NTP settings were not working when I first setup, but trying again just now has worked fine.

    NTP setting where stuck on Data West Line and wouldn’t change regardless of how many times I clicked apply! 

    6tot4 tunnel doesn’t enable ipv6 when applied


    Reservations fire out an invalid Mac error

     

    all worked perfectly when I went back to .68! 👍🏻

    gonna wait til My Armor sub expires and buy another brand router as the r8000p is nearly 4yrs old and the FW has been broken for 3 of them! 🤯

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Are you seeing any errors after you apply the change? 

    What happens if you change to a different time zone or set a manual custom NTP server?

      Regarding the NTP Settings.
      The first couple of times I tried it reverted back to GMT-12 and default NTP Server.
      It has now stayed on GMT London and Default NTP Server.

        What happens if you set a custom NTP server and select apply? 

        Try pool.ntp.org or time.nist.gov please.
