ipV6 disconnecting on Orbi RBR850
(NOT RBK53 model in drop down, why is RBR850 not there?) I have RBR850, firmware V4.6.7.13_2.1.9, and a CM1200 modem connected to Comcast's 1.2/40 service. All is working well, speeds, modem numb...
OK, it's been two weeks, and my IPv6 has been working perfectly all that time, no more disconnects! I am going to mark this thread as solved, with the update of firmware to 4.6.8.5 being the thing that fixed it. If others are still having trouble I suggest starting a new thread, as there may be multiple issues. Thanks everyone for your help!
@donawalt has a better experience until his IP drops again. Remember that this issue for me happens every 4-7 days. All is good until all of a sudden there's no available IPv6 IP address. It probably happens when Comcast/XFinity tries to renew the address once a week or so for me.
I am on a Orbi 752 on a XFiniy gigabit connection over a Netgear CM2000 modem. I seem to remember that @donawalt is with Comcast/XFinity as well but on a Orbi 850 system. I may be wrong on that. Anyway, there are threads in other forums and on Reddit discussing this issue quite a few Netgear routers so again, I think this is a Netgear/Comcast issue where Comcast changed something early this year that broker DHCPv6 on some Netgear hardware.
I'm getting tired of this though so may just stay on the Asus system. If I stop responding that is why.
Understand.
Just trying to confirm what you all have. Ya Donawalt has a 8 series. I don't think the series matters as this is a base code issue across the two models which are same I believe.
Ok, lets see if Donawalt can get up to 7 days or past.
Regardless, will try to keep on with NG about this. Your the only two that are helping out on this and it's appreciated.
Will keep on it.
