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)?
We're good here. After a restart my laptop started working fine for IPv6. I'm 95% sure I saw the IPv6 DNS servers refelcted on the summary page on the original 2.3.X FW but either way we're all good now. Sorry for the firedrill.
Your DNS entry is actually incorrect. 2606:4700:4700::1111 and 2606:4700:4700::1001 actually means 2606:4700:4700:0:0:0:0:1111 and 2606:4700:4700:0:0:0:1001 since the :: is shorthand for zeros. In IPv6 you are allowed one :: in a string for this shorthand. The :: can take the place of any number of zeros as long as you have a complete string
Ah! So something like this (also looks like image upload is fixed!)
