I was unable to segment that /64 to separate physical interfaces on the router. /66 wouldn't work, for example. You and Carlos are kindred spirits, you both have this uncanny knack for quietly shifting the goalposts:-)
What else are goalposts good for if not shifting?
Uh, good point :-)
For my home network I use 2001:db8:7d68:1 - with two distinct subnets:
2001:db8:7d68:1:ff99:ffff::/96 - unknown/foreign/guest devices 2001:db8:7d68:1:ff99::/80 - known devices without static addr 2001:db8:7d68:1::/64 - static addresses.
This is what I was trying to do on my router, where each subnet is on it's own physical Ethernet interface. I couldn't do it, either due to my ignorance, the Xyxel router, or my ISP.
I expect it was too much for your (consumer?) router. "too much" = simply not supported by the GUI interface. Zyxel routers have a command line interface too though, over the console. It might well have been possible to use that instead.
It's been maybe a few years, should I expend the effort and try again? Why? It works perfectly well with IPv4.
Absolutely - for the vast majority of users, IPv6 adds nothing.
By the way, how do you mitigate the rogue RA problem? There's even a RFC about it? (RFC-6104) As mentioned, I've been affected by this at work.
I can't say I have ever even heard of it. I would have to go study that RFC I suppose, but I think I see what the issue is. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.6°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
