Seriously, why is it so hard to set static IPv6 addresses? My router’s hard drive recently failed (just a month after buying it) and I’m trying to recall how I ever got this configured.

The “documentation” in the configuration file is trash, the software is trash because it doesn’t work. Why is this considered the standard for DHCP on Linux? It’s infuriating. If they can’t fucking figure it out just leave it out and leave it up to other software.

All I’m trying to do is keep IPv4 and IPv6 addresses semi-uniform like OpenWRT does.

          It’s quite alright, I actually tried it out in the middle of all the chaos, I’ll give it another go. My problem ended up being that macOS, iOS ignore the advertised default route if you’re missing the DNS server option. 😒

      Sure, but I was waiting for a couple more things configuration-wise before backing up.

      Crazy me for not doing it sooner; didn’t think a brand new hard drive would fucking fail after only one month.
