Running Firewalla Blue+ (FWB+) in dhcp mode and my Netgear c7000v2 won’t allow ipv6 dhcp to be turned off. This causes some issues, especially with iPhones. In particular, my iPhone takes 30 seconds to make any changes to the FWB+. If I switch to cellular I can make changes in seconds. Thinking of ditching the c7000 modem/router for something better that works with Comcast. Any input on what would be a good unit that will allow me to turn ipv6 dhcp off ? I’d rather keep the current unit and find a fix, but that doesn’t seem possible. Thanks!

  c7000v2 Manual

  It looks like the c7000v2 interface only allows you to set DHCP/AutoConfig. I don't see a "disable" option.

  If you had the Gold I would have recommended putting the c7000v2 into bridge mode (ADVANCED > Administration > Router Mode = No), and letting the FWG be your router. 

  You can still set that mode, go buy a midrange router, and set that one to disable IPV6. I'd steer away from the Netgear line in your case, it looks like the IPV6 options are pretty limited from what I can find.
