My Orbi RBR752 drops IPv6 every hour or so.
I have had my Orbi RBR752 (with the latest firmware) set up with IPv6 for a year on a Xfinity gigabit connection through a Netgear CM2000 modem. A few days ago I was changing the DNS settings for IPv...
This is still an ongoing issue. I've seen on Reddit that many Netgear/Comcast users are struggling with this. My current procedure when it happens is to set IPv6 to Auto Detect. Takes around 30 second to be set to 6-4tunnel. Then set it back to DHCP. Wait another 30 seconds and I mostly have a new IPv6 address for a few days until it drops again. This has to be fixed soon!
Do you remember any v4.x version of FW that has worked for you with IPv6 or has all been broke?
If you don't, as recommended by SW, You should configure AP mode on the Orbi system and use your ISP modems router for IPv6 services until NG get this fixed. We don't know when that will be either so your best off using the ISP modem for now.

I updated firmware back then when this started happening being told that it might help. It did help a little. Instead of having the IP drop every few hours I had the drops every few days and that is where it's at now.
