Orbi RBR20 v2.6.1.36, bug in IPv6 over PPPoE WAN remains.

On set 14th 20 I reported a bug on IPv6 over PPPoE WAN connection cause by wrong TCPMSS / MTU afecting my Orbi RBR20 v2.5.1.16, it cause and some insights about how to fix it. On that time the same bug were present on RBR50/RBR50 v2 running v2.5.1.16 and days after in v2.5.2.4 launched on set 17th 20.

 

Since then Netgear released RBR20 v2.6.1.36 (oct 7th 20) and RBR50/RBR50 v2 v2.6.1.40 (oct 27th 20), but unfortunatly they implemented fix only for RBR50/RBR50 v2 model and didn't care about RBR20.

 

RBR20 owners, I'm very disapointed with Netgear support behavior, but how could we ask to support team "save us" too ?

 

Fix implemented on RBR50/RBR50 v2 firmware v2.6.1.40 in /etc/net6conf/6service

Sonething to keep in contact with NG support. Nothing we can do here in the forums. 

 

Good Luck.

Unfortunately, when I typed router serial number I was informed that my hardware is under warranty, but my 90 days complementary technical support has ended, so I'm unable to open a ticket on NG support.
