In a typical WiFi Access Point landscape...
Sellers of these devices don't have a solution to program the WiFi AP
IPv6 in the same way they'd do it for IPv4. For IPv4, the AP receives
an IPv4 address on the wired Ethernet and then does NAT and subnet
further on the wireless interface. For IPv6, although it receives a
huge /64 IPv6 prefix on the wire it can't offer Stateless Autoconfig on
the wireless interface. This begs again for IPv6 NAT.
I'd say it begs for assigning the user a /56 or /48 routed to them on the
/64 link.
