Accepted IPv6 ULA support
I saw this suggested in another thread but that thread was locked so I'd like to propose this here. Having multiple IP addresses is one of the touted features of IPv6, but also of note is that due to privacy concerns IP addresses are expected to change frequently with IPv6. This makes setting up a LAN DNS server for IPv6 quite difficult since there is no reliable stable IP address to use other than the link local one. Perhaps the way to accomplish this would be to add, in wired network -> LAN settings, a section to set up a unique local address prefix in addition to the SLAAC or whatever global address acquisition method is already set up. It could be quite similar to the "manual prefix" setting that is there now, but be validated against fd00::/8 or fc00::/7 instead of the 2000::/3 that is there now.

@Vincent-TP I am missing this feature too. I am using local DNSv6 Servers but since I can't assign ULA IPv6 adresses to clients I can't use my
Router ER707-M2 and need to continue to use a fritzbox as router.

Add me to the list of people looking for this feature and overall a much more robust and complete IPv6 implementation, especially in the Omada controller. I should be able to define my IPv6 prefix, and subnets and not depend on the broken TP-Link negotiation with the broken Comcast ONT/modem.
If the standalone mode supports something, the controller mode should too. Otherwise, TP-Link is penalizing people for moving to their Omada controller.

Hi @Vincent-TP, @Hank21
any news on this feature? It would be nice to get some information about when it is planned. You mentioned that it is on the roadmap. Please provide further timing information so the community is informed and engaged.
Many thanks in advance!

The community does not currently have an ETA.
However, we have repeatedly forwarded this request, and I believe its priority is relatively high. Please patiently wait for the firmware update. Thanks for your understanding.

Please understand that patience is running low and understanding is gone. We are talking about a fundamental feature of IPv6 (I skip the part where I explain how important IPv6 is) that was confirmed to be on the roadmap almost over a year ago (343 days, if you want a larger number).
I'm aware that "the community does not currently have an ETA", this is why we asked you. It does not bode well, if all you can say is that you "believe its priority is relatively high".
I'm not even sure what to say at this point. Have you read Kafka's "The Trial"?
