Picked up a used Arris SB6183
Is there a way to connect to my MacBook Pro via Ethernet, and see what version firmware it has?, I have read threads where there was a problem with IPV6, until TWC did an update back in 11-2016 or so. Called update "birth certificate"

Turn off wifi and point to 192.168.100.1
Login and password should be on the modem

I logged into modem, and can see all of the screens and menus.
When I get this modem online, how do I tell if IPV6 is working?

It's been my experience that Comcast updates the firmware automatically from their end.

I find 2 TWC websites, one says sb6183 is ipv6 compatible other says it is not.
And I have read that around 11/2016 people got an update (which this modem has received), that made it IPv6 compatible, but then around 3/2017 people were saying it wasn't working
Can't seem to find definitive answer

After reading a link on a forum. It's the firmware. It is compatible/functional if it has the older firmware, but the last update disabled it. There is a fix that hasn't been pushed out by TWC. FWIW I think it's strange that the Cable company is the only one who can put firmware on it. Found that out when I read about the older SB Docsis 2.0 modems.
