R8000 FW 1.0.3.4

It looks like Netgear have in fact abondoned the R8000, while they still seem to support the R7000! Disgusted, I guess the next move is Asus.
The IP6 issue is a joke!
Ya, it's pretty sad, I've had a pretty bad experience with my R8000 so far, it's quite unstable, especially compared to my previous (non netgear) AC1900 router.
This is my first, and last Netgear from the looks of it, unless Netgear can pull a rabbit out of its behind and give us some amazingly stable and feature rich firmware soon.
I suffer from the known ipv6 issue with PPPoE where the router won't issue a ipv6 address on the LAN. There is a long thread about it on the ZEN Internet forums. It does seem specific to Zen Internet PPPoE connections. Negear have tried fixing this for the R7000 and have issued beta firmware for users affected to try to resolve it. There is no such help for R8000 users.
Hi Roy2001,
Please check your inbox.
If there is a beta firmware, I'd be happy to try it....
I am having many issues with the R8000. IPV6 is a major one. Can you please let me know when we are going to get an update or at least a beta firmware? So sad to see this expensive product rot with so many issues.
I'm on centurylink which uses 6rd. The way I get around this is to go to the IPV6 setup page after everything is connected and running and hit apply without changing anything. I then hit refresh a few times until the address appears on the page. I then logout and usually have to do a restart on the pc to get the pc to do IPV6. The address is present until the router is power cycled. I then go through this whole thing again.
I'm unable to visit any ipv6 only sites even thought I am connected to my isp's ipv6 and pick up thier DNS. It's the R8000 router that won't give me an address on the LAN side. Nothing I've tried will fix this. Any ideas?
