PS 11/23/2025 Arris seemed updated complete. the 2 problems solved (ie event logs time tag auto changed 5 hours earlier and block MAC address cant edit)

spouse just told me an adv. popped up our ISP company offer $14.95 one time activate fee, $19.95 150MHz or $40 1GHz whole house wifi connect, free modem with router forever. . we decide to dispute paying $40 frequently speed down under 100MHz and browser auto closed or wifi broke -- isnt caused by [hidden network can have over 15 BSSIDs] and more and more users? we are abused, next time would the company tell us must replace powerful and wifi6 router with modem again and upgrade to higher speed to avoid wifi broke, browser auto closed, auto changed event logs time tag... problems?

from i saw it is not foreign countries hackers did but ISP workers or their hacker-clients caused.

ps tried do more tests : switch to 5GHz then speed down to 68.8MHz, very ridiculous much slow than 2.4GHz. i am chat with xfinity to find out whether they offer more stable speed or 100Mbps that obviously we dont need over 100MHz from what we been hooked thru current ISP. xfinity : we offer internet essentials and that is $14.95 need to apply for and get approved for. https://apply.internetessentials.com/ which we are not qualified. $19.99 has to wait when they issue promote period. $25 for autopay included tax (same amount as $19.99 if tax not included) no contract if only if auto pay enabled. the only thing we need to verify tomorrow is to connect out door wall jucntion box wires to the wall. if it works maybe can get rid of unknown hackers or else cause wifi broke and browser auto closed every day twice.

11/21/2025 searched [is xfinity better service and stable wifi 100Mbps speed ?] Yes, Xfinity internet service at 100 Mbps generally offers a reliable and stable connection, especially if you use quality equipment. This speed is sufficient for most household activities, though overall performance can depend on your specific location and whether fiber service is available from a competitor.

--obviously the person i chat with is honest who told me 50Mbps should enough for our usage for frequently yutube video, china news videos; sometime TV/movie shows. ps 11/23/2025 spouse sometimes cant find yutube good shows or bored would play windows game.

Service Stability and Performance Reliability: Xfinitys cable internet network is considered very stable, with many customers reporting few outages. The wired connection is less prone to interference than wireless alternatives like 5G home internet.
--i really hope so especially if can get rid of [DIRECT-QU-VIZIOTV][My Wi Fi] [Hidden Network].. interference.
ps 11/23/2025 so far so good that [My Wi Fi 50% became 15% ps same channel as our 5G so change our channel, 30%] [Hidden Network 4 BSSIDs became 10 15% ps same 5G channel became 5%, changed ours] sgnal are weak, we have good speed. hoping can keep it.

Speed: The 100 Mbps download speed is more than enough for typical usage, including streaming HD/4K video, participating in video calls, remote work, and casual online gaming.
Wifi Stability: While the wired connection is solid, the quality and stability of your WiFi will depend heavily on the equipment you use.
Many users recommend using your own quality modem and a good WiFi router (or mesh system for larger homes) to avoid the shortcomings of standard rented equipment and ensure a rock-solid connection throughout your home.
Xfinity offers the xFi Gateway, which can provide robust coverage, and WiFi extenders are available if needed.

ps 11/21/2025 8:07pm finally set Xfinity Tech. do wire connection appointment was $100 due to their worker cut off wires we end to pay $50. the $25 100Mbps became $30 Mbps (due to different sales), no annual contract, allowing flexibility to pause or resume. i would say she is better tried to offer Tmobile $10 and 2nd is free. however if their phone service plan cant fit our iphone 6 plus, 6 ES then would ending to pay $18 by they offer 2 iphone. the plan would be life time, however no one has confidence wether is forever. no annual contract, allowing flexibility to pause or resume. ps 11/23/2025 modified. we didnt add Tmobile plan. due to already prepaied yearly fee which have many years. indeed this year both me and spouse had hard time cant call or wont receive calling.. problem, recently getting better.

Google searched : if i disabled IPv6 will it stop [FW.IPv6 INPUT drop] and [FW.IPv6 INPUT drop] attacked? Yes. So i disabled it.
searched [will disabled IPV6 stop MS updated 25H2?] No, disabling IPv6 will not stop Microsoft updates for Windows 11, version 25H2; in fact, Microsoft generally recommends keeping IPv6 enabled as some system components rely on it. Disabling IPv6 may cause some components to stop functioning correctly and can lead to system delays or DNS fallback issues. For security vulnerabilities where disabling IPv6 is a temporary mitigation, this is a separate and different situation from a standard update.

Microsofts recommendation: Microsoft recommends leaving IPv6 enabled unless there is a specific reason to disable it. Disabling it can break some Windows components. Potential issues: Disabling IPv6 can cause system delays, DNS fallback issues, and prevent some Windows features from working. Security mitigations: Disabling IPv6 can be a temporary mitigation for a specific security vulnerability, but this is not the same as preventing an update from installing. Once the security patch is installed, you can re-enable IPv6

--the question is router company Gateway > Firewall > IPv6 Firewall Security Level : Typical Security (Default) cant reduce the attack, when will the security patch installed? when will MS 25H2 update in my pc? (poster chris_whitley : IPv6 Forward & wanattack, over 1000 attempts in one day, ...cant but switched to another ISP company because of their lack of response at all ...PS from our experiences (ATT, xfinity, wow or Astound now xfinity again) result is ISP companies did all the same thing unless you rent their equip pay high monthly fee you wont get any help. give me no choice but disabled IPV6.

another poster [2018/2/26 13:04:17 Firewall Blocked FW.IPv6 INPUT drop, 4319 Attempts.] and 2018/2/26 13:04:17 Firewall Blocked FW.IPv6 FORWARD drop, 7206 Attempts. then internet broke whole day broke.

however till today (2nd day after switched ISP) seems not yet suffering fire fox auto disappear, wifi broke and those suspicious hackers signal became weak my speed is quite good and stable so far. maybe xfinity did better job can maintain speed stable. not sure ATT current status..

searched [which MS updating or router company updating should patch [FW.IPv6 INPUT drop thousands attemp] problem ?] The FW.IPv6 INPUT drop log entries typically indicate that your Axxx routers firewall is doing its job by blocking unwanted background internet traffic, and there isnt necessarily a "problem" that requires a specific patch from either Microsoft or router company.
However, if these messages are accompanied by intermittent connection drops or other performance issues, the underlying cause is more likely related to:
Signal Issues: Poor signal levels or line impairments on your cable connection can cause the modem to struggle and log numerous errors. This would require a technician visit from your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Router Firmware: In some cases, a defective firmware upgrade rolled out by the ISP (e.g., Comcast/Xfinity) can cause issues where the IPv6 firewall acts improperly, leading to connection problems. This requires the ISP to issue a fix or a downgrade.
Defective Hardware: Some Axxx models (like those with the Intel Puma 6 chipset) have known issues that can cause packet loss and latency, which might correlate with these logs.
Microsoft updates primarily address vulnerabilities within the Windows operating system itself (e.g., critical RCE flaws in the TCP/IP stack), but they dont generally "patch" the firewall log behavior or connectivity issues originating from your ISPs gateway/modem.
To address the issue:
Contact your ISP: Report the connection drops and mention the high volume of IPv6 drops in the routers log. They can check your signal levels and modem firmware status.
Ensure Windows is updated: While likely unrelated to the log messages themselves, its always good practice to keep your Windows systems updated to patch known vulnerabilities via the standard Microsoft Update process.
Consider disabling IPv6 on specific devices (if necessary): If the problem is isolated to specific computers and you dont need IPv6, you can try disabling it in the network adapter settings on those devices as a temporary troubleshooting step
