Re: ipv6 issues on twc

Ive had nothing but problems with IPv6 since it was launched. I disabled it for awhile but I enabled it again several weeks ago and it looks like they have disabled it on their side awhile ago.

Any sort of prolonged use like youtube or netflix would cause the connection to stop passing any traffic for about 30 seconds or so. it was strange, but also annoying.

IPV6 is working really well here with an ASUS RT-AC68U and SB6141. Asus firmware 3.0.0.4.374_4561 added a lot of nice stuff and enabled IPV6 firewall something that the previous version didn't.

My router gets a /128 address for the WAN and a /64 for the LAN. On the LAN side I have a combination of Macs, linux/BSD and a win7 all configured with temporary IPV6 addresses.

So far it has been working pretty good.

Thanks for the heads up. Seems the N56U uses the same firmware so I just upgraded to that version. Now I just need to wait until TW re-enables IPv6 again for me.

What features have you found in this firmware? Also, I dont see a firewall under IPv6 area...is it somewhere else?

EDIT- Nvm, found IPv6 firewall.

Basically asus' new firmware fixes the ftp security issue and added ipv6 firewall functionality.

With the previous version I had to disable ipv6 in my computers when on a routine port scan I found that my computers were exposed to the outside world

The ipv6 firewall option is under advanced settings/firewall/ipv6 firewall tab.
