Are Orcon having issues with their IPv6 network? v4 has been working fine, but for the past few days v6 keeps dropping. Rebooting the router fixes it, but it only lasts a couple hours before dropping again.

The router logs has this message: ‘dhcp6c: client6_send: transmit failed: Network is unreachable’.

Using the supplied NF18ACV netcomm router, on Fibre.

I use Slingshot using the same Vocus network supporting both Orcon and Slingshot brands and I'm not seeing issues with IPv6 using DHCP. I'm not using the supplied router though, have replaced it with Edgerouter X. Browsing Geekzone on IPv6 right now.

Quic Broadband

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

Might be worth logging a fault with them, mine came up a few days ago and has been rocket solid since

Netcomm is a PITA for IPv6. Try Mikrotik.
