IPv6 broken since at least Jan 21 (IPv4 OK) - packet capture shows ND failure, request Tier-2/CMTS escalation

I need Tier-2/CMTS engineering review for a persistent IPv6 outage.

Summary:
- IPv4 works normally.
- IPv6 has been broken since at least Jan 21, 2026 (previous router reboot).
- This is reproducible on both router and LAN clients.

Technical evidence (already captured):
1) Router receives IPv6 control-plane:
- DHCPv6 SOLICIT/ADVERTISE/REQUEST/REPLY seen on WAN
- IA_NA + IA_PD delivered

2) Router receives Router Advertisements from upstream gateway.

3) Data-plane/ND failure:
- Repeated Neighbor Solicitations for the advertised upstream gateway
- No Neighbor Advertisement observed for that gateway in packet captures
- ping6 to upstream gateway = 100% loss
- ping6 to external IPv6 targets = 100% loss

4) Reboots and resets already attempted:
- Modem power-cycle
- wan6 ifdown/ifup
- Full router reboot
- No recovery

Request:
Please escalate to Tier-2/CMTS engineering and review IPv6 ND/forwarding behavior for my session. I can provide full report + pcap files privately.

Please DM with:
1) case/ticket number
2) escalation queue/team name
3) ETA for engineering update

IPv6 has been totally unusable on my connection for over a month. Where is my DM? Where is my ticket?

Hey @user_is0zz6, Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to reach out and share your experience. Are you currently using your own purchased modem or using an Xfinity xFi Gateway rental? If using an Xfinity xFi Gateway, is the device in Bridge Mode? Could you also let us know what troubleshooting steps that you have already taken? We hope to hear from you soon.
