Orbi loosing IPv6 routing ability consistently
I have a consistent problem with a (latest firmware) Orbi system in that it continues to loose IPv6 fucntionality (but not addresses) - and this seems to mirror a bug Netgear has with other routers as well. I have native dual-stack - and I use DHCP to successfully get IPv6 addresses. All my devices get dual-stack addresses and work - for about 1-3 days. Then, while my devices all retain their IPv6 routing info (as does Orbi), there is NO communication on '6' anymore. I need to refresh and "Apply" in the Orbi IPv6 pane to fix it - but have to do that literally every day now. There have been other posts with IPv6 tunnel and other (non-native) implemntaitons. What gives? Something Netgear is working on? thxCant login to openDNS from genie
My router is a DGN2200 A few problems - how do I know what version I have as it does not seem to say anywhere - does that mean that this version will not work with Genie? I managed to use the Genie App the first time I login in and changed the parental controls itbut now it comes back with the message "Netgear router not found or is not supported. Make sure that your mobile device is not connected to the router's guest network and the the iPv6 is not enabled" Okay so how do I know if I am connected to the "guest network"?? What is iPv6? Is my login what is written on my router? I am finding this really hard to navigate through please help
Guest isolation in AP mode works on latest firmware...almost (tl;dr IPv4 is OK, IPv6 not so much)
The good: Things work like you'd expect - you can reach the Internet but nothing on the local network except DHCP and DNS. The bad: If your network has IPv6, it completely bypasses isolation. Netgear, thank you for putting the effort in to get this right for IPv4, but please don't forget it's increasingly an IPv6 world out there. Please add proper isolation for IPv6 in the same manner you already are for IPv4. RodneyA6100-10000S Windows 10 v1607 IPv6 Issue
I am finally running Windows 10 Anniversary Upgrade, version 1607, build 14393.xxx, with the A6100 Wireless AC Adapter running the latest Netgear driver set, 1.0.0.32. Under version 1511, the adapter performed well with all features showing agreement with status reported by icons and labels in taskbar and in network and sharing center. Homegroup was active with PC status as "private". This is no longer true with W10 V1607. I did not/do not use Netgear A6100 MPC software to manage under either version. Now A6100 connects to wireless lan and the internet. I note that my connection is IPv6 protocol at 5MHz when with v1511 it was IPv4 at 2.4MHz. Status confirms internet is connected for both IPv4 and IPv6, Media state is enabled, and SSID is correctly shown. Chrome and Firefox function normally in searches and website usage; I do not use MS browsers. But taskbar's wireless icon is asterisked and lable reads "Not connected - connections are available". Connections Available shows SSID as "secure, no internet". Control Panel Basic Information reports that "You are not connected to any networks", and Change Adapter Settings Network Connections icon shows that Netgear A6100 WiFi Adapter is "Enabled" rather than listing SSID of wireless network connection. Also, "Computer cannot connect to a Homegroup" since status is "public" and cannot be changed to "private". Norton Security Suite updates just fine, but Windows Update cannot "check for updates because you are not connected to the internet." Reverting back to W10 v1511 sets everything right again, but that is not what I want to do. This has all appearances that the IPv6 protocol is not properly managed in W10 v1607 but I only speculate. This would indicate a driver issue affects proper network management. Anyone else seeing this? Any insights would be welcome.
R6100, I keep losing IPV6 connectivity
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.

TWC is telling me that they don't support IPv6 from my cable modem. I don't see an option to disable it in the GUI.
