I'm on a CGN3ROG (4.2.4.6 firmware) bridged to an EdgeRouter and I'm not getting any IPv6 connectivity in either bridge mode or gateway mode. I've factory reset the CGN3ROG.
dhcp6c on my router is showing the following error:
Apr/28/2016 23:27:42: client6_recvadvert: advertise contains NoAddrsAvail status
If I change it to only request a prefix and not a non-temporary address as well:
Apr/28/2016 23:35:22: update_ia: status code for PD-1: no prefixes
So it appears that there's a dhcpv6 server that it's communicating with, but it's not configured to delegate any addresses or prefixes.
@gw280, we have made changes to attempt to resolve this issue. You may need to reboot your modem and/or disconnect and reconnect the EdgeRouter.
Let us know if this problem is fixed.

@JKnott,
What are you referring to "but you can't get there from here with it. ;-)"? Not too sure if I misunderstood you. It's just NATed with IPv4 and no problem with the www... unless there are specific sites with IPv6 only addresses.
Just a bit of humour. Regardless, while I get an IP address as guest, I can't connect to anything.

In residential land with residential-grade gear?
When I tried to run 5GHz and 2.4GHz with the same SSID years ago, it was a complete disaster because clients kept favouring 2.4GHz even when they shouldn't. So I've reluctantly come to the conclusion that for residential setups, you should run separate SSIDs to force the 5GHz devices to stay there.
Now, if this was a business-grade setup with real APs, that'd be a different story. Why business-grade gear seems to handle this fine and residential-grade doesn't... is a mystery to me.
It shouldn't make any difference. There's nothing in commerial grade gear that causes the client to switch. It's entirely a client issue. Some clients switch sooner than others.

My modem has .20 now.

BTW, is it just me or is this site sometimes a real pain to post to? I often find when I try to post I get to a screen with an activity indicator, but go no further.Yeah, I noticed that too. It seems to go into a redirect loop and never recovers.
I have been unable to log in for over 24 hours and just got in again now. I guess whoever built this site are same same ones responsible for that Navigatr disaster.

I now have 4.5.8.20. I can configure ssh port forwarding, which I couldn't before. Also, while I get an IPv6 address, it doesn't seem to be working. Also, the Guest WiFi doesn't seem to get an address.
I have come to the conclusion that the firewall on the Hitron modem/router is useless. I'm back in bridge mode, with a computer running Linux as my firewall/router.
The following issues are now considered resolved:
- Customers in or around Scarborough (ON) may be unable to receive an IPv6 prefix
- Customers in or around New Dundee (ON) and Pokemouche (NB) receive an IPv6 prefix but are unable to connect to IPv6 destinations
At this point, we believe that all previously reported regional issues have been resolved. If there are still remaining issues, let me know and I will have them adressed accordingly.
The service should be enabled in this area but we will need to investigate further to ensure that everything was done right. Can you PM @CommunityHelps your modem MAC address and serial number so that we can have a look.
I am happy to annouce that the last milestone in the deployment and enablement of IPv6 is underway.
We have now started the deployment of firmware 4.5.8.20 on the Rocket Advanced Wi-Fi Modem (CGN3ACSMR) which enables allows IPv6 in both bridge and gateway mode.
A first wave of modem has now been upgraded. After a pause of a few days to ensure no major issues are discovered, all remaining modems will be upgraded.
