Shouldn't be an issue if the Orbi is in AP mode. IPv6 depends on the router mode. AP mode would be just pass thru.

For past 1 week my IPV6 connection was solid and stable, no more disconnection further. so i believe Netgear team has found the root cause of many IPV6 connection drop problems. just doubt will it considered into next version firmware? if Netgear release new firmware, should i upgrade? Waiting for official response.

    This is not an official response board.... this is a community of folks who give help and good advice.

     

    Having said that, if there is additional new firmware, my recommendation is to take it for addditional stability and capability.

     

    Firmware revisions build upon each other and typically dont lose capability with new releases.

    I would review the release notes first before upgrading. You might ask the NG support person you have been working with about this and see what they say. Ask them to please include this fix in to upcoming release. Something you can ask about. 

     

    Glad it's working for you now. Hope the fix comes to everyone else soon. :smileywink:
