Roadmap for Basic IPv6 Support in Orbi

I can assure you, this isn't an abandoned product line. As FURRYe38 said, we've had a couple firmware updates in the last month, and I recently beta tested firmware in the weeks before those.

As for your particular needs, I don't know. I don't use IPv6, personally. Do these not do what you need them to? I only enabled it for the purposes of grabbing the screenshots, so I didn't poke around on other pages to see if there are additional settings that become available when IPv6 is enabled, e.g., port forwarding.

But my understanding is that, with the way IPv6 works, port forwarding is unnecessary because every IPv6 address is globally unique. And, given that, you'd have to be pointing directly to your device's IPv6 address, and not the router's, as the router would interpret a request to its IPv6 address as a remote manangement connection attempt. So, if you've been pointing to the Orbi's IPv6 address, and have remote management disabled, that would explain why everything is just dropped at the router. I've also heard that enabling IPv6 pinging on the debug page is necessary for proper operation. If you haven't done that, you might give it a try.

You can also check the router's logs after attempting a remote connection via IPv6 and see if that gives you any insight into the problem.
