Frustrating experience with SURFboard SGB7600AC2
I tried replacing my rental modem/router/wifi with a SGB7600AC2 and it did not go well. After informing my cable provider that I wished to use my own modem, they asked me for relevant info about my new modem. I gave them make/model and MAC info. My old modem stopped working at which time I plugged in the new one. I waited 15-20 minutes. Eventually the default wifi SSID showed up and I connected to it and then connected to the surfboard. It was at this point that things went sideways. I could browse some sites on the Internet but not others. It sort of felt like I was in a walled garden. However, it finally dawned on me that I was able to reach IPv6 sites (like Facebook) but not sites which only used IPv4 (which happens to be about 75% of the sites that I frequent). In any case, after looking through the settings and logs, etc, I discovered that the modem was not requesting an IPv4 address via DHCP even though it was configured for DHCP. I was getting a /60 IPv6 prefix via prefix delega
