Some routers show this, others do not. Here's an example of one which does: »forums.comcast.com/t5/image/serv···-1&px=-1 Oh ok, yeah now that you mention it on the Local Network page it says the following: Prefix Address: 2601:d:3000:44::/64 Does that offer any additional insight?

I have no explanation for why there's no default IPv6 gateway other than a network misconfiguration on Comcast's side or a firmware/router bug in the E3200. An alternate possibility is that Cisco DPC3000 is incorrectly filtering or messing with some kinds of IPv6 packets (strange but possible), even though cable modems aren't supposed to screw with layer 3 traffic passed through to the underlying LAN port. That's about all I can do with the information here -- IP network technicians have to figure out the rest. I'd wait for NetDog at this point. -- Making life hard for others since 1977.
