BE9300 - terrible ipv6 support
Is there any reason for the lackluster ipv6 support in the 9300 beyond pathetic greed and incompetence? TP-Link is openly taking code from openwrt and others, yet still can't figure it out.
- The ISP provides a ::/56 address, but the router can't pick it up because networking "engineers" at a networking company didn't provide a prefix hint in the upstream solicitation. Perhaps TPLink is a "social networking" company instead of a hardware networking company?
- The interface advertises "prefix delegation," but only picks up a single /64 for itself because of the first point.
- Clients downstream from the router note that it doesn't support delegation at all.
- The entire ipv6 setup looks like a cheap afterthought since it's hidden away on an "advanced" page like it's still 2005 and not 2025.
This is not difficult to implement. It's in the examples of the code TPLink took. A bunch of people offered up that code for free and losers getting paychecks to take it and charge customers for it can't even make it work.
There is absolutely no way I'd buy an "enterprise" product from TPLink if they consider sloppy work like this to qualify as professional.
And yes, for a $200+ product, I have every right to call the company out on filth.
