RBR50 - no IPv6 after V2.5.1.8 update?
Just got my RBR50 over the weekend and so far am loving it! I saw a few posts about needing to force updates from v2.3.X to v2.5.1.8 which I did yesterday and so far so good except I can't seem to ge...

Actually, imbedding pictures seems to require moderator approval. I have posted 100's of times and this often happens to me. (sigh)
So tried a full master reset on both the router and satellite and turned everything back the way it was and then tried to setup IPv6 with the same result.
IPv6 Page (LAN and WAN IPv6s blurred but they're there and appear to be valid):
Mine looks exactly like this, except that I have the ISP DNS servers instead of specifying them.
Internet Port (IPv4 and MAC blurred), you can see the IPv4 DNS servers but not IPv6 (although I definitely saw those with the original FW):
Mine looks exactly the same, except it's my ISP DNS servers. I do not think I have EVER seen IPv6 DNS values here.
Comcast IPv6 Check (IPv4 blurred):
It appears to me that this Orbi is supporting IPv6. Looking through the message thread, I do not see some items:
- What is the Orbi connected to (brand & model)?
(Looking for modem, modem/router, modem/router/wifi) - What the ISP and are they on record as supporting IPv6.
(Mine is Spectrum and they have an extensive web page describing how they are)
On the off chance that the ISP is Xfinish (Comcast), I found their page: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/about-ipv6
Of particular interest was this comment:
"You can view your current IPv4 address at http://www.comcast6.net. When your area transitions to IPv6, you’ll be able to see your IPv6 address there)." - Are there any other devices that can be used to test?
(In addition to my Windows PC, I have tested Raspberry Pi and Android Phone. All pass.)
- What is the Orbi connected to (brand & model)?

I just directly selected DHCP. Same result - it shows an IPv6 WAN IP on the IPv6 page but no IPv6 DNS servers on the summary page and the test site doesn't see an IPv6 IP. This is same result with either the ISP or Cloudflare DNS servers selected.
I am "way behind the curve" on this IPv6 business. "Summary Page" refers to exactly which Orbi web interface page?
Now that I am "IPv6 capable":
- My "Internet Setup" page shows only IPv4 DNS servers.
- My "Advanced Setup", IPv6 page shows IPv6 DNS entries.
- The test web site shows I have IPv6 as long as the computer I am testing from has IPv6 enabled.

Sorry, I meant the "ADVANCED Home" page, specifically the Internet Port "tile". On the original FW it showed both IPv4 and IPv6 DNS servers (IIRC but definitely at least IPv6) but now only shows IPv4.
On the IPv6 page I see both a WAN and LAN IPv6 address as well as the Cloudflare DNS servers I manually set.
On the test website, however it does not detect an IPv6 IP (third step).
I still need to try a master reset and re-setup but probably won't happen until tomorrow.

My Advanced Home Page, Internet Tile does not show ANY IPv6 information. (attached)
But, the test-ipv6.com web site claims I have IPv6 (not only on my Windows 10, but also on a Raspberry Pi.)
I have noticed that once someone responds to a post on the forum, others tend not to step in, sort of like the matter has been "claimed". If this is the case with this topic, then I apologize, because I am floundering around and not helping much.
