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!

Just curious, either of you have email logging enabled on the RBR?

    Have you noticed any mysterious reboots or if you happen to notice on the debug page with the System Uptime value here being reset or shorter than expected? 

     

    Would be curious if enabling email logging if this would make a change on the IPv6 though not sure if it would. Might be work trying if you have the time to try:

    Also do you have IGMP Proxying enabled or disabled? 

     

    Also wondering if there could be an issue with the modem you use as well.

      Just to clarify. Nothing unusual going on like reboots. The only problem is the IPv6 IP being dropped every 4 days. If I hook my laptop up directly to the Netgear CM2000 modem I get an IPv6 address every time. Also, the Asus router does not have any IPv6 issues hooked up to the same modem.
