I am afraid I think I might be about to give up on the R2 for now. I have been using it for about 2 weeks with some mixed results.
I previously had an xr500 and loved it at the start. Eventually I gave up on it due to a lack of updates. A normal Netgear experience I have found unfortunately. I had hoped that the R2 would be a lot better but have had a number of issues.
1, The disconnections - Random loss of internet for no reason I can find. Reboot fixes it every time. (Don't see this with my other Asus router on the same connection at all)
2. IPV6 still being allocated even when switched off. Makes no sense at all but yet its happening. Off really should be off.
Get this in logs so I can still see the router trying
Thu Dec 10 11:19:10 2020 daemon.err odhcp6c[2880]: Failed to send DHCPV6 message to ff02::1:2 (Address not available)
Thu Dec 10 11:17:18 2020 daemon.err odhcp6c[2880]: Failed to send DHCPV6 message to ff02::1:2 (Address not available)
3, VPN just errors , worked initially now I just get "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'type' of undefined"
4, Constantly have the following in the logs no idea what it means or if I should do anything
Thu Dec 10 11:12:53 2020 kern.warn kernel: [ 1919.739675] HTB: quantum of class 10010 is big. Consider r2q change.
5, Need to be able to switch off the LEDs, got so bad I stuck electrical tape over them.
I am about to factory reset it it for the last time if things don't improve its going on ebay like the xr500 did.
Unhappy customer hoping that there is a plan to improve this router quickly.
Hammy.
