CAX80 Questions after install

I got my CAX80 Yesterday and everything installed fine. Modem Activated with Spectrum without any issues. Connection is Rock Solid form Wired to Wifi.

 

Some things i noticed when trying to do a few things though

 

Port Forwarding- It would not let me forward ports manually so i checked UPNP and noticed that it was turned on. I always had it turned on on my R9000P and was able to forward fine. I disabled UPNP and was going to forward the ports manually so i went to every device that had UPNP enabled and turned it off and then turned UPNP off on the router itself. Ports would still not forward saying that they were still in use. So i reset the Device. I ended up changing my default router address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.6.1 and Turned UPNP back on and my cameras would finally work from my external IP address in Hik Connect. If i am connected to my network the cameras will only connected from the NVR's local address. Never had this problem. Anyone know why? I would rather manually forward ports then leave UPNP on because it leaves my network Vulnerable to attack but Even with UPNP on it still says the ports are in use

 

Also i see that IPV6 comes enabled as default and i went to the advanced tab to try to turn it off but there is no option to disable IPV6. Is there a way to disable it?

Re: CAX80 Questions after install

Most of the time uPnP would be disabled if you set up any PF rules. 

Most of the time uPnP should work enabled with out having to disable it or setup any PF rules...Possible uPnP may have got in a bad state while trying to get the cameras connected. 

What Firmware version is currently loaded?

You don't see any drop down menu on the far right side of the IPv6 menu to disable IPv6 or maybe a check box?
