With all the people having issues dropping the internet from firmware update. Is Netgear working on a solution to this problem? What can be done to correct this issue?

I do have the latest update, but I don't understand how to select&nbsp;ipv6 enabled. I am uneducated when it comes to routers.

I know they're aware of the issue but they don't release info on plans for firmware updates or whats going on with it.&nbsp;
Some people had good luck with the latest version with ipv6 enabled.&nbsp;
did you try that?&nbsp;

Good luck, if it doesn't help, you can downgrade the firmware a version. It just seems like the latest had the issue. But again, a lot of people had luck with using ipv6. A few were able to do a factory reset and it worked fine.&nbsp;
