Had to dig up an old bug report I made with google after I got a new wifi setup.
Android *still* randomly loses ipv6 if you don't set the DTIM multiplier to 5. Google claim it's a bug in the defaults, and they're not going to fix it :/
I note Apple recommend setting to 3 to fix problems with their devices too..
Mind you, that was hard information to find. A sea of people having problems..

@tony@toot.hoyle.me.uk Google might have a point there. I found reducing the MaxRtrAdvInterval to a much smaller number makes IPv6 work *much* better on Android (more than one device)
