Re: IPV6 DHCP client does not add correct default route after reboot

I must have mentioned, the first router is ISP provided (xfinity) and I don't see a way to request /56 or /60 from the provider and then make it pass the subnet prefix to the downstream mikrotik.
For my purposes NAT is good enough so I don't care.

Re: IPV6 DHCP client does not add correct default route after reboot

Because I'm behind two routers. The first one does receive the prefix.
Don't know how to pass the prefix to the downstream router.

It doesn't matter how hot it feels. The hardware can handle it and will work fine.
