IPV6
24 TopicsGS724Tv4 IGMP Snooping on a VLAN breaks IPV6 Multicast on same VLAN, Still after over 1.5yrs.
The "workaround" about doing it at port level is not 100%, seems alot of Multicast stream are missed and not reported in the switch in that config. When setup at the VLAN level it works 100% like its suposed to for IPv4, but ofcourse that breaks IPv6. This needs to be addressed, and apprently its on this whole "family" of switches based on other post here. EDIT: and this is with the latest firmware of 6.3.1.1624KViews4likes2CommentsIPV6 in load balancing mode on SRX5308
If you have more them one internet connect you cannot use IPV6, because IPV6 is only available in Primary WAN Mode. Also you lose all you’re settings when you change from Load Balancing to Primary WAN Mode or from Primary WAN to Load Balancing Mode, which is very frustrating.20KViews2likes2Commentsvlan (ipv6 futureproofing)
Hi, We have a SRX5308 and a couple of FVS336 as well as a few other routers. We are futureproofing our corporate network by deploying ipv6 in parallel of ipv4. our address scheme was chosen as to be as simple for the admins as possible : ipv4 : 10.bbb.ccc.ddd (where bbb also denotes the vlan) ipv6 : fdgg:gggg:gggg:bbb::ccc:ddd:1 it's been deployed within the network, and it runs fine, no issues. our primary firewall-routerchain (not netgear) is also updated and works. I'm now trying to configure one of the netgear, and I'm discovering the issue where the ipv6 mode doesn't support vlan (at least through the GUI). is there any way to actually make ot work (telnet ?) or am I wasting my time, and should at some point replace them with other hardware ?15KViews3likes1CommentWAN IPv6 Prefix Delegation doesn't work
I bought recently a new FVS328Gv2 as replacment for an older D-Link DIR-825. The FVS318Gv2 is connected to an AVM Fritz!Box 6490 which is the internet access router of my provider. The Fritz!Box 6490 allows to use a second router on its LAN side and offers an IPv6 subnet prefix via prefix delegation. This IPv6 prefix delegation has been working well with my DIR-825 so the Fritz!Box seams to be setup properly by me. Let me now explain the steps taken with my new FVS328Gv2: 1. Unboxed the device and checked that it has FW Version 4.3.1-11 2. Upgraded to the latest version from netgear portal 3. Now the FVS328Gv2 is using FW Version 4.3.4-2 4. Setup IPv4 WAN via DHCP -> works fine Fritz!Box 6490 delivers address, gateway and DNS to FVS328Gv2 Access to the internet is working and at good performance rate. Fritz!Box 6490 has a static IPv4 route into my private LAN on FVS328Gv2. 5. Setup IPv6 WAN via DHCPv6 with IPv6 Prefix Delegation -> *** does not work *** FVS328Gv2 gets an IPv6 address and gateway (the Fritz!Box 6490). But WAN link status remains on 'connecting... ' and never ends. Some time later it gets a primary DNS server (the Fritz!Box 6490). But WAN link status remains on 'connecting... ' and never ends. I never see a delegated prefix on the LAN configuration pages of the FVS328Gv2. So I can't get IPv6 internet access from the LAN side of the FVS328Gv2. The Fritz!Box does not offer static IPv6 routes so setup the FVS328Gv2 WAN manually will not work. Note: The Fritz!Box gets an IPv6 prefix of length 62 from my ISP. The former DIR-825 has been assigned properly a sub-prefix of the 63 by the Fritz!Box. What am I doing wrong? Hope for any help.

Greetings Gear Group :manindifferent: Running Windows 10 Pro 64bit 1607... I just noticed this 2 or 3 weeks ago. My Samsung Galaxy S6 Always had a link speed of 867 Mbps. One day it was slow on wifi, and the link speed was 585. So I kept checking it and it got as low as 110 Mbps! I'm po'd. I restarted my phone, shutdown wifi, FORGOT the network, and it helped for a bit but then the link speed started dropping again. Then I started checking the link speed on my laptop. It was also usually 867 Mbps, and it was dropping - just not nearly as bad as my phone. So I found a place in laptop wifi adapter where it gave details. I hadn't known about before. It tells you about IPV4 and IPV6 whether it has Network Access, Internet Access, or No access. And several times I checked and it had no IPV6 Internet connection. Pictures to demonstrate. FYI, I've disabled, even uninstalled my wifi adapter on laptop, made sure drivers were current, had several post with Intel support to tell me if it could be the adapter. It's an Intel Dual-Band AC 7265, one of their better wifi adapters. Well, I'm noticing the same problem on my desktop Ethernet adapter. It's a Realtek Gigabit adapter. So I'm definitely inclined to think it's the router. I've rebooted it, reset it, changed channels, checked firmware - don't know what else to try. I've included a screenshot of the IPV6 seup screen from Netgear. And I've included the 2 screens from my ethernet adapter that show the IPV6 has no Internet connection. Notice the red arrows on the Network Connection Details. There is no IPV4 WINS Server, and no IPV6 DNS server. What is the WINS Server? I guess it's not important, since I have a connection. And why doesn't the IPV6 have a WINS Server?? Just curious.... Thanks for any help.Solved9.7KViews0likes6CommentsStatus of IPv6 Firewall configuration on R7000
Hi there. I have been looking through some old and semirecent threads about the ability to configure the IPv6 firewall in the R7000. Unfortunatly my router is way passed the support-life so I doubt I can open a case with the question so I figured I'd try and see if there is any new information to be had here? I tried using a 3d-party firmware but due a severe lack in performance when running on 3d-party firmware I can't really use that. Any Rep reading this forum that can give any information about the state of this? Is it available somehow? Or is it a planned feature in a not do distant future? // MattiasSolved9.3KViews0likes13CommentsR7000 keeps losing IPv6 WAN address
Hello, I'm with Rogers Cable and am able to obtain and keep an IPv6 address when using the Rogers Hitron CGN3 gateway, but when I use the R7000 it gets an IPv6 address for an hour or so and then I lose it. I can get it back again by rebooting the R7000 only (no need to reboot Hitron). I can confirm this has been an issue with at least the last three firmware versions. Currently using V1.0.8.34_1.2.15 Any suggestions would be appreciated.Solved8.3KViews0likes20CommentsC6300 not able to reach ipv4 sites, but only ipv6 sites
Started using my C6300 at a new home with Xfinity/Comcast cable in May 2017. About two days ago (mid-September 2017), we couldn't reach most sites and received 'server can not be found' or 'internet not reachable' errors to ipv4 sites. We can reach the big ipv6 sites like Google, Facebook, Youtube, via both wifi and directly connected with ethernet to modem. I called Xfinity and rebooted modem multiple times, to no avail. Xfinity rep stated it could be a firmware change from Netgear (although from i read online, Xfinity/Comcast controls the firmware updates of the netgear modems?). I can see ipv6 address, but no ipv4 router address in my wifi settings. And when i test my ip address on the one website i can reach (http://whatismyipaddress.com/ds-check), it shows an ipv6 address, but ipv4 is "not detected." Xfinity stated i should test one of their modems, or have technician come out to test one (for a fee). The other solution offered was to try a factory reset on my modem. Any insight out there on why after months of working fine, ipv4 sites can no longer be reached? Thanks TJSolved6.1KViews0likes5CommentsConnection issues EX6200 Wireless Extender connecting to Comcast Cable modem/router
I've got a brand new EX6200 I'm setting up for a customer to provide connectivitiy to their guesthouse. Their main home is about 50 yards from the antenna at the guest house. The EX6200 has one of the antenna ports plugged into an outside directional high gain antenna. I've got a very good signal, green indicator on the 2.4GHz network and good coverage to the guesthouse with a green device indicator. The Comcast modem does not have 5GHz so no connection on that circuit externally. With this setup my Dell laptop has no problems connecting and decent Internet speeds as tested by speedtest.net, 19Mb's down and 12Mb's up. I can't get anything else to connect to the Internet on this network though. I tried two iPhones, and iPhone 4 and an iPhone 6, and two other laptops. One a Dell and one an HP. They all connect to the EX6200 just fine and show they are connected, but no Internet traffic flows. No web pages will load. I've been pulling my hair out trying to determine the issue. I did notice that the Comcast modem is using IPv6 as well as IPv4. My laptop connection shows both IPv4 and IPv6 IP addresses when connected. You can't tell on the iPhones if there is an IPv6 address or not, and the older Dell laptop shows the IPv4 address but nothing on the IPv6. My laptop and the older Dell are both running Windows 7. The HP laptop is running Windows 10. I brought the EX6200 into my office and hooked it up to a WatchGuard XTM-25w. I enabled IPv6 on the WatchGuard to see if I could duplicate the problem. Both my laptop and my iPhone 6 are connecting to the Internet fine with this setup. Has anyone else seen this behavior or have any ideas? FYI, I tried an amped Wireless extender on this first and with a 79% signal to the Comcast modem/router the amped unit would drop connection every couple of minutes, but it did allow me to connect with the same devices that are connectiong to the EX6200, the connection just wasn't stable. I would test the signal level over and over and it varied between 77% and 79%, never lower. I saw from reviews that many others had the same dropping connectivity issues with the amped unit so I figured they were not worth another try.5.5KViews0likes5CommentsSierra Wirless AirCard IPv6 Driver Support for Linux (Raspbian)
Hi There! I’m building a Raspberry Pi 3 based Mobile Broadband Router using a Sierra Wireless U320 (and U312) modem, which works fine with IPv4, but not with IPv6. I’m using the latest February 2017 release of Raspbian which has native driver support for the Sierra modems. The version of sierra_net.ko is v.2.0, while sierra.ko doesn't seem to have a useful version number available anywhere. Basically my problem is that when using an IPV6 or IPV4V6 carrier profile, the Sierra Wireless modem is successfully receiving an IPv6 address, but fails to pass it back through to the driver and/or operating system. I confirmed carrier profile settings with my service provider's IPv6 support team today (Telstra, Australia). Any ideas where I might be going wrong? I’ve looked through the latest Linux driver source (3.2) available on the Netgear website, and it appears to include support for IPv6 as far as I can tell. Help!? I realise these modems are offically unsupported under Linux, but hopefully someone might have an idea? Some Details… IPv4 Modem configuration for IPv4 only mode.
