I have the "Cisco EPC3208G EuroDocsis 3.0 2-PORT Voice Gateway" for my internet connection. Recently my ISP switched to IPv6 DS-lite. So basicly I just have an IPv6 now. I upgraded my Netgear FVS336Gv2 to the newest firmware, as it hadn't IPv6 support yet. Now it has. But I cannot make it work propperly.
I am not an network specialist, so I tried a few things out.
1. I tried to set the Cisco EPC3208G EuroDocsis 3.0 2-PORT Voice Gateway in "Bridge" Mode. This does not work as this option is blocked by my ISP (it will auto reset into DHCP mode).
2. When i connect my devices directly to the Cisco, I get both, IPv6 and Ipv4 addresses to my device, and I can also see them on http://ip6.me. This is good. However, I cannot configure much at Cisco, because the firmware is modded, and old (from Nov 6 08:54:06 2012, I dont get any updates form ISP). So I wish i can use my Netgear, to configure firewall and so on.
3. When I connect the DHCP Cisco to WAN1 from Netgear, I get IPv4 but no IPv6 DNS servers. This is what the IPv6 connection tab looks like:
I am very new to IPv6 and I don't understand it completly. I read a lot but still, a bit confusing. Maybe you need more info to help me. Please ask me if you need any other info (I dont know what info I need to tell).
But basicly, I want this setup:
Internet --> Cisco --> Netgear --> Home Network (IPv4 and IPv6)
so I can also reach my raspberry from outside (for example). Because I just have an outside IPv6 address, no IPv4 address.
Thanks so much!

Well, it turns out, that my ISP router is not capple of the "bridge mode" it is basicly NAT -> NAT and that doesn't seem to work. So I only tried the Cisco and it works good with IPv6. Is there a way I can use my Netgear Firewall just as "Firewall"? (so no NAT, no DHCP, just a "hardware firewall"). Because the Cisoc just have 2 Firewall options: ON and OFF. No filters, nothing. So I would love to use the Netgear only (!) as firewall. Is it possible? If yes, how do I need to configure it?
