About every 24 hours IPv6 stops functioning on my system. Verified via http://ipv6-test.com. I have to login and click apply in the IPv6 setting and it starts working again for about 24 hours. I have the latest FW, 2.1.4.10. Just a simple setup with a router and one satalite connected via wireless backhaul. Ideas?

Every few days, my iPV6 stops working. I was doing a reset from the cable modem (in bridge mode) to the Orbi router and then satellites, it would work again each time after this. I then tried resetting only the cable modem. It had no effect. I tried turning off and on the IPv6 in the Orbi router and it worked again. This certainly appears to be another failing in the Orbi Firmware. Annoyance to say the least.

Does netgear even give a crap about this still not working? Cloudflare, Google, OpenDNS - not even Comcast's own IPV6 DNS work any more! I have 100% confirmation that I have access to IPV6 through Comcast - I've been using it for months. Why does Netgear not seem to give a flying 'duck' about any of this? A flagship product and they still have barely legible Indian (or wherever that's cheaper than paying people in the USA) tech support staff going through timw wasting scripts and ultimately blaming your ISP or your modem! I use the Arris SB8200 - it's a fantastic Docsis 3.1 modem that simply passes the internet straight through to the Netgear. Then Netgear manages to screw it all up! Thank fgod Costco's return policy on electronics is amazing - that retail box is starting to look good to me right now.

Yes. Very annoying. My Ipv6 is not working this morning. It must be a FW bug.

@DarrenM Thoughts or suggestions for this issue? Shout it be added to the bug list? Thanks

I will report this to engineering and see what we can do to replicate the issues. DarrenM

Whats the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the orbi is connected too?

Try a full reboot of the router and test again. If it still happens, try a full factory reset of the router and set up from scratch...

  The modem is an Arris TM822 and IPS is Comcast. I will try a reboot and monitor. If it happens after rebooting I will do a factory reset.

    Is the modem bridged or a stand alone modem? Not built in router. The TM822 comes in a TM822g which has a built in router...

Update 6/27:

Still having the issue of IPv6 randomly turning off. I have done factroy reset and manual setup and it does not resolve the issue. FW is V2.1.4.16. However I have found if I go into Advanced Setup\IPv6 and select Apply IPv6 will start working again for 24-48 hours.

Just checking to see if anyone has loaded v210 FW and if anything changed with IPv6?
