I dunno ... I had to turn Verizon's FiOS IPv6 off because it wasn't
playing well with my Pulse VPN. So they are providing it now (maybe not
supporting it ;-)

As from a consumers standpoint, Verizon FIOS has published an IPv6
website, created a discussion forum, and stated they would soon
support. That was 14 years ago.

Matt,
I missed where the OP indicated they've tried both a direct laptop
connection as well as another router. I think you may have seen my
reply suggesting that and thought that was the OP stating he'd
done it.

OP indicated they've tried both a direct laptop connection as well
as another router. That seems to
meet the requirement for having ruled out his home-made router,
though obviously I agree one should
attempt to rule out any possible errors by doing transparent
packet sniffing analyzing the problem
carefully before escalating an issue. Hopefully everyone on this
list knows the value of the tech on
the other end of the line's time :)
