hi Crimp on, thanks for responding, just for your info I live in Australia where we have a National Broad Band Network and my case I have Fibre to the Home which provides very fast speeds.

Reading the Orbi User Manual about IPv6 makes me dizzy.  I would probably call the ISP (who gave me the IPv6 iinformation) and ask, "how the heck do I set up my router with this?  Can't I just keep using DHCP and have your network send me the settings when I ask for them?"
