This shouldn't be that hard.

Agreed. But they are just about the only mass CPE vendor that ships code

to add capability, vs. the traditional ones who require you to buy a new

router every year just to get new features.

That and being so cheap, you can't talk customers out of preferring to

buy them. It's not a great situation, but hey... supply & demand.

--- I’ve managed to get better support from vendors which are different than Mikrotik. Some years ago, I even offered Mikrotik *free* help to correctly do transition … and I’m still waiting for a single response. I guess they have other priorities than IPv6 at all.

--- I can buy 10-15 USD CPEs directly from China, with OpenWRT already installed, which have exactly the same design as the Mikrotik (same SoC, same number of LAN/WAN ports, etc.).
