Status of IPv6 Firewall configuration on R7000
Hi there. I have been looking through some old and semirecent threads about the ability to configure the IPv6 firewall in the R7000. Unfortunatly my router is way passed the support-life so I...
Hi there.
Since the software in the R700o doesnt allow me to configure inbound firewall rules for IPv6 I solved my problem by getting other router which does and just run the R7000 as an AP. Not the most optimal but at least it works.
So no, consider this case closed.

Hi sparhawk765,
The IPv6 configuration is limited for the R7000. You may check the KB article below for IPv6 settings that the router supports.

What kind "lack of perfromance" do you get on 3rd party firmware and which 3rd party firmware did you use? I can confirm that on Tomato Shibby, the R7000 runs like a beast, even better than on stock firmware.
Hey microchip8!
It was acually Tomato Shibby I tried out and as for the performance I went from around 950Mbit down to 350-400Mbit using pretty basic settings. Standard NAT/Firewall setup. I guess it's possible I missed something vital in the setup of Shibby since I didn't play around with it for any extended period of time.
I have since then put other router in front of it and currently use it in AP-mode.
