R6220 - Does NOT support IPv6
Before purchased R6220, I have checked support web site (http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/19308/~/ipv6-compatibility-on-netgear-routers) shows that it does support IPv6 on the latest fir...

I have already confirmed this with engineering and IPv6 support will be added in a future firmware update but no ETA has been provided yet. I will check with the right department so that we can have the list updated.

IPv6 support is cited in the user manual. Yet, we are unable to get it to be enabled. It's not specified that the feature has yet to be added, so it should be assumed that the feature is readily available. Netgear is a brand I have always gone with, hell, I paid more for the Netgear R6220 than the TP-Link Archer C5 because of the Netgear name even though they sport equivelant hardware.Yet, the R6220 lacks current IPv6 support, which is a standard that the TP-Link Archer C5 has along any mid-range router newer than 2014 should have.
All documentation that I have found does not corroborate with your claim that IPv6 has yet to be added. This is actually the only place that I have seen any information as to the lack of IPv6. Especially confusing is the fact that inside the user manual* is information about activating and configuring IPv6. If support for this function has no timetable for a release then we should be entitled to another model of router, the next model up, that currently has IPv6 support and has equivelant and/or better features as our current R6220. That is the least I'm willing to compromise, otherwise I will see to it that everybody I know not purchase a Netgear branded router again.

This is almost a year later what is going on? Why have they made no updates yet? I work from home and upgraded last week. This is bullcrap
