That sounds more like a Mikrotik problem than an IPv6 problem. OpenWRT does most or all of that, for instance.

- izacus 6y agoI addressed that - OpenWRT is a 3rd party firmware you need to reflash on your router (if you're lucky). It also doesn't install on an equipment I need. I've never seen this features out of the box on SOHO equipment like ASUS routers, TP-Links, FritzBoxes, Apple routers and other equipment that actually ends up in peoples homes. And again, we're YEARS after the standard and there still doesn't seem to be feature parity between the two stadards on even basic home equipment.
- Dagger2 6y agoOne of my routers came with OpenWRT, so it's certainly possible to get routers that use it as 1st party firmware. As for routers with random vendor firmware, I'm not familiar enough with all of the vendors out there to give an authoritative answer but I've seen or helped with plenty of routers that support many of the things on your list.
- bsder 6y agoI would never recommend <Foo>WRT to anyone. It's a shiny toy to play with. However, it has so many weird bugs that never get addressed that it's just not worth the grief. Why can't the wired ping the wireless but the wireless can ping the wired? Why can I connect every device except my Samsung phone? Why is my throughput so much worse than the manufacturer firmware? Why are the LED's doing weird things that correspond to nothing useful? I've never even tried IPv6 on a <Foo>WRT because it's handling of basic IPv4 stuff is so dreadful. (Please don't read this is as dig on the <Foo>WRT developers--they're doing their best. However, the sheer variety of platforms, the lack of documentation, and the small number of developers simply creates an impossible situation.)
- Dagger2 6y agoI can't say I've had those problems, other than throughput being worse (which is a result of proprietary acceleration chips with no published specs to write OSS drivers with). v6 works great on OpenWRT for me -- but then again, so does v4.
