R7000 keeps losing IPv6 WAN address
Hello, I'm with Rogers Cable and am able to obtain and keep an IPv6 address when using the Rogers Hitron CGN3 gateway, but when I use the R7000 it gets an IPv6 address for an hour or so and then ...
ElaineM - It seems this entire situation has to do with the Hitron CGN3ACR modem. Apparently all the Hitron CGN3 AC related modems including the 3552 have this exact issue when in bridge mode. In gateway mode they can hold an IPv6 address, but in bridge mode they seem to have an issue passing the address to a third party router.
I changed the modem to a Hitron CODA-4582, bridged it, and I've had an IPv6 address on my Netgear R7000 since doing the change (over two days now).
The gateway you have is a modem/router combination the two routers could be the problem if the r7000 has beter wifi and internet speed you could place the isp's gateway in a bridge mode and use it as a gateway only you should get your ipv6 addressing.
Here is a link to the gateway device you have https://www.midco.com/contentassets/87322b7ed6b04cabb102fe22607bc4d1/hitron-modem-user-guide-cgn3-res.pdf
I hope this helps some.
I guess I should have mentioned that. The Hitron gateway is bridged. I have no issues with IPv4, only IPv6.
I have the basic issue but not with the r7000 I'am playing around with a Linksys EA6350 that someone whats to work with ipv6 no luck on their's either but not sure it is the router bypass the router and coonected direct to the modem a arris tm1602 their latest without a router in side if it with phone service enable no still no ipv6 service just ipv4 address I wonder Spectrum supports ipv6 over their phone service modems.
