I have a new FVS318Gv2 with the very latest firmware update, everything is running fine.
Am now experimenting with some of the settings (I know, I should leave well enough alone!), and am confused about the IPv6 configuration. My ISP, Spectrum (formely Time Warner Cable) has rolled out IPv6, I've confirmed this by looking at the status on my Netgear Cable modem (and reading Spectrum online documentation). According to the Netgear reference manual, to change to IPv6 in the Prosafe you go to Network Configuration>WAN Settings>WAN mode and change the Routing Mode from "IPv4 Only" to "IPv4 / IPv6 mode." That part went fine, the router rebooted and came back online.
The second part involves going to the next tab over, "Broadband ISP settings," and clicking the "IPv6" radio button in the upper right. For the Internet Address dropdown menu I"ve chosen DHCPv6 and selected the "Stateless Address Auto Configuration" radio button below. When I click the "apply" button at the bottom it says "Operation succeeded." When I click "status" it shows a good connection with an IPv6 address. But when I click out of that tab to somewhere else in the admin, it goes back to showing the "IPv4" radio button selected in the upper right. It's like the IPv6 settings I just saved get undone as soon as I leave.
Any insights as to why this might be happening? Thanks.

Just want to verify, do you have an IPv6 internet subscription with Spectrum?
