Correct. We still don't know how to properly hand out IPv6 to end
users, and routers have issues doing it.
The protocol stack is a flawed implementation.

I was doing some testing on our dual stack FTTX network.
I grabbed a CnPilot R201P off the shelf. IPv6 was disabled by default.
You had to enable it in 3 different places and even after following the
guides on Cambium’s site the prefix delegation seems to not really work.
I grabbed an AirCube…..no IPv6 support at all. It’s supported in the
underlying OS, but not in the GUI. Ubiquiti support says it’s coming,
but they’ve been saying that for 2 years +.
I grabbed a Mikrotik…..works perfectly fine, but setup is beyond what
any consumer is going to do. If I’m quibbling, it doesn’t support
stateful dhcp assignments from a delegated prefix. That’s not too big
of a deal.
Out of 3 routers I have close at hand, 1 is a faulty implementation, 1
is not implemented at all, and one is too hard for normal people.
So when people run out to the store and get a Netgear, Asus, or whatever
router off the shelf is it hit-or-miss with those too? I guess I
naively assumed that 25 years after IPv6 was created that we’d have
working implementations by now.
