TP-WPA8730KIT No IPv6/multicast problem. Is this all powerline products? Does TP-link test IPv6 on this range at all?
Model :

I've noticed that when I connect through my 8730, I do not receive an IPv6 address on the range advertised by my router.
This is particularly annoying on my laptops since I work with many ipv6 systems. However it is completely useless since this problem causes ALL my nexus android devices/tablets to immediately disconnect from the wifi.
If I disable ipv6 on my router, the android devices stay connected.
A quick browse around here seems to suggest this is a fault that is affecting numerous tp-link powerline adapters. IPv6 is no longer niche, this needs to get some technical attention.
Has anyone with a TP-link powerline adapter got IPv6 working reliably? More importantly, if it once did not work, did they provide a firmware fix? I've seen that the 8730 hasn't had an update in 8 months so I'm guessing this problem is never going to be fixed and is caused by a poor design choice? Dunno, but its pretty terrible to screw up support ipv6 in this day and age! (the device isn't even a router, it's just an AP)
