Received this router yesterday running an older firmware version. I think 40.19. something and I connected it to my network and was receiving an IPv6 address from my cable provider. Was able to view IPv6 websites and everything without a problem. Did a firmware update to version 40.20.1 and guess what, IPv6 is completely null no matter what settings I change from stateless to stateful DHCPv6 and DHCPv6 on and off on the WAN side. I checked my internet connection itself and it's still spitting out an IPv6 address and all that so it seems to be falling onto the router with metaphorical deaf ears. I spoke to Actiontec and they told me that it's up to Verizon to handle the firmware updates, so I have to wonder why they would break this feature on one of their high end routers if they are supposed to be moving forward on their IPv6 implementation. Unfortunately according to Actiontec's escalation department, the ability to roll back firmware versions was removed on the later model routers.
