        Yeah. See those router solicitations in the second screen shot that aren't being responded to?

        There's your problem. pfSense is asking, they're not responding.

        You can limit the capture to protocol ICMPv6 to eliminate a lot of that noise too.

          So in this case I really need to contact my isp to change the cable modem right?

            All pfSense can do is send the Router Solicitations and listen for Router Advertisements, so, yes. I don't see how anyone other than the ISP can help here.

            Note that the last screen shot is full of Neighbor Solicitations which is more like the equivalent of ARP in IPv4.

                  Hmm. Did they make a recommendation? I use a Netgear CM600 here. Pretty much the only thing I don't like is how tall it is.

                    No, they use to change these equipments according to availability. At this moment they only have Humax and Arris (that I already have).

                        I will ask for the humax model. I have a friend using this model without problems.
