RBK50 IPv6 Stops Working
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 h...
Glad that a beta seems to have fix this, finally. :smileyfrustrated:
Hope This will help those with IPv6 and it gets released in the next FW update.

NoNo_BadDog I got a beta firmware and its working fine now, past few days i havnt seen IPV6 drop connection any more. I am not sure i can send you the beta firmware or not, but you can proactively contact with Netgear team and send them your Debug file, just message @Blanca_O , your case may contribute to improving Netgear IPV6 technology, there are quite few complains upon it.
How do we get this beta firmware?
i posted msg in the other forum and nothing.
just purchased Orbi system, newest released firmware is slower in wireless throughput all radios due to slow processor in router and satellite with high cpu usage with no extra settings enabled.
downgraded back one version of firmware and get faster wireless throughput to clients on 866 and on Backhaul wireless to satellite. Still wireless throughput between router and satellite on the supposed 1733 link Backhaul doesn’t actually use 1733 speeds.its like it’s always stuck in 866 mode. Bringing a file over from my nas connected to main routerI get up to 600Mbps.
copying back over from satellite to router 350-400Mbps.
30 feet or more distance between satellite and router same floor and height.
my r7900p from Costco and a r7000 in media bridge mode can copy one way over 1300 link at 800-900Mbps and about 400-500Mbps the other direction.
only issue with this setup r7900p likes to disconnect clients because of stupid google devices connected broadcasting multicast crap. So the media bridge either resets, locks up or loses connection.
i need 24/7 stability because I have a nas server at the end of the satellite in office area and my router and modem in living room area and can’t be moved.
hoping beta or newer firmware is more efficient and optimized and provides faster speeds all around and on Backhaul.
there is no way the Backhaul is running at full 1733 speed dedicated to satellite.
i think it’s 2 separate 866 links, one set for Backhaul and lan then the other link and set is for clients to and from satellite so those speeds don’t interfere with the Backhaul.
still the processor in these dam things are too old And slow to keep up with wireless throughput and hardware acceleration. I bet the drivers, software can’t even be optimized anymore.
come on Netgear need help!
This thread is for IPv6 issues. Please create an new post and with your information and we'll help you out. Include the Orbi model you have. The beta is for only to fix an IPv6 issue seen in this thread.
