Ok quick update..

Found the "How-To" video on the DHCPv6-PD setup, really nice..

So it looks like the PD address is getting to the device, but the DHCP request/ACK is got an issue. The CMTS is not injecting the PD route to the device. I have emailed the ZyXEL team with the issue.

So have you heard back from ZyXEL? I'd like to think they are aware of the problem and are working on a solution.

We have emails going.. so standby..

I would not hold my breath as well, but I have been asking for a fix along with a weekly meeting with Cisco. I am really hopeful...

CISCO is in the process of dumping Linksys plus the Linksys group are very different [and segregated] from the CISCO group [plus CISCO have many specialized groups within groups] so I seriously doubt that any CISCO engineer will look at the RV0420 issues. Best to find out who the Linksys resources to contact for this type of issue --- once you find out the who to contact they are responsive :)

Ya, it's pretty frustrating. I have a Cisco RV042G with non-functioning IPv6 PD. Comcast has been working with Cisco on that one, too. But, not holding my breath for a fix anytime soon.

Look into getting an P2812HNU or P2612HNU or P2601HN I got those they all do PD quite nicely :)

They appear to all be ADSL CPE. No?

Not going to be of any use on Comcast cable.

. Kind of depressing as I read a Comcast thread here where everyone is posting about how IPv6 is working with their cheap, consumer grade routers (e.g., D-Link, Netgear).

Ya, it's pretty frustrating. I have a Cisco RV042G with non-functioning IPv6 PD. Comcast has been working with Cisco on that one, too. But, not holding my breath for a fix anytime soon.

So, a ZyWall USG was my top alternative. Glad I found this thread before I wasted any more money.

Hopefully one of them can get their act together. Thanks to the folks from Comcast that are working directly with these companies.

Click on the URL in my previous post. On the lower left margin, under Related Resources, you'll find links for firmware and Users' Guides.

3.00(BDQ.2)C0 is the latest firmware on the site.

The IPv6 configuration walk-throughs begin on page 45 of the User's Guide. An example setup for Prefix Delegation is on page 49.

Thanks for pointing me in the right spot..

Anyway, you can still find everything you need on the ZyXEL support site or at the FTP. Thanks, mozerd.

According to the firmware you have USG100 with AQQ.3 firmware which is newer than the published AQQ.2, no need to upgrade.

Emailing ZyXEL for a how-to guide.. This device has alot going on to say the least. Lots of very cool options..

I got IPv6 enabled on the WAN interface but I cant see where to enabled DHCPv6-PD for the LAN interface.

Well that certainly doesn't sound good for all the the "IPv6 compatible" USG routers out there already...

:) There are alot of vendors that say they have v6 supported but really they dont have full support.

I'm getting very, very sick and tired of technology companies slappping lists of features that don't actually work on their boxes. Reprehensible.

IIRC, the Z5/35/70 were supposed to get PPTP support...

posthaste posted : I've been going back and forth with ZyXEL Tier 2 Tech Support for two months and no solution yet. Their engineers overseas (Taiwan?) looked at the problem and reported back that they were able to get IPv6 to work with their ISPs.

Just to be clear, I'm trying to get ZyXEL's Pure IPv6 implementation to work with Comcast as described in the USG 200's User Guide (the instructions in the User Guides for Pure IPv6 and Prefix Delegation IPv6 are identical across USG line - 50/100/200/300, etc.).

So I've followed the instructions exactly as stated in the guide for Pure IPv6 and I also tried Prefix Delegation. Neither work. After configuring, the Xfinity IPv6 Readiness Test gives me a score of 0 out of 10.

»test-ipv6.comcast.net/

None of ZyXEL's people in California have Comcast as an ISP so they haven't been able to test the USG series to see if they can configure it to work with Comcast's IPv6. I was told they all have either Verizon FiOS, Time Warner, or AT&T U-Verse.

It should work, but the problem is a knowledge gap in trying to get it configured properly for Pure IPv6 (I'm not interested in nor do I care about 6-to-4 tunneling).

The good news is they, ZyXEL, are now in contact with a Comcast engineer and are sending them a USG to try to determine what settings need to be changed in order to get it to work. They'll let me know if they find a solution.

That's all I have for now.

I should post in the BBR Comcast Forum to see if anyone has been able to successfully get a USG to work with Comcast's IPv6. But I'm too tired at the moment and it's probably a long shot anyway.

So far, on my own, I've tried Pure IPv6 and Prefix Delegation and both bombed out. Kind of depressing as I read a Comcast thread here where everyone is posting about how IPv6 is working with their cheap, consumer grade routers (e.g., D-Link, Netgear).
