I'm not quite sure where to put this question, still new to the forum.

I have been running a N66U, and decided to pick up 2 new AC66U B1 units to have one as my main router, the other I wanted to do as a repeater or AP on the other side of the house. (Going to give the old one to my parents)

But, I've found that if I have ipv6 enabled, native default settings on Spectrum Cable, I'll get constant disconnects on my Nexus 6 Android phone, and on my Kindle Fire HD. Turn off ipv6 and all is fine. But, if ipv6 is enabled when the device is set as the default router mode, it works fine. But that doesn't allow access to the other parts of the network as seamlessly.

And this happens on stock firmware, or on Merlin (latest version of each). It was frustrating enough that I also found that it happens with the N66U as the repeater, or the main router. It happens with all 3 devices, either set to AP or repeate mode, but default mode is just fine.

I don't understand ipv6 enough to understand why it would do this.
