My understanding is that if I do all IPv6 networking, that will expose my internal devices to the Internet. I'm reasonably experienced with IPv4 networking, going all the way back to the coax days. I've spent three half days at the church trying to make this work with no success. The RB GUI reports that the cable connection is good, and shows activity on the line (confirmed by the lights flashing), but I cannot ping an outside address or get an Internet connection. I've tried two chained routers, with Comcast providing a DHCP address on 192.168.10.x. I've tried putting the Comcast in bridge mode, rebooting both devices multiple times with nothing else connected. Mikrotik WILL NOT connect to the Comcast modem, although no other device has issues doing so. The Mikrotik is a heX RB750Gr3 5-port RouterBoard. And this is the "new" modem they used to replace our old one about 9 months ago. Each setting I change and save requires a reboot, which takes on average more than 10 minutes. ![]() ![]() The Comcast modem is made by Cisco and is an incredible pain in the foot to manage. The only difference that I can see between home setup and work setup is that I have a static IP from Comcast (business class Internet) at home, and the church has dynamic IP, which very often ends up being IPv6. ![]() Now I cannot for the life of me get it to work. I was so happy with the Mikrotik Routerboard I'm using at home that I talked my church into buying one for their building.
