IPV6 settings on third party device (new EE Broadband - Full Fibre 1.6 Gbps)

Does anybody know (or figure out) the correct settings for EE's super implementation IPV6 for third party router on new EE broadband?

I am aware, as BT has gone so far, to adapt unusual /56 delegation instead of more common /64 and the whole BT IPV6 is "non-address" in fact...

Whilst on 1.6 Gbps Broadband, I would like to ditch EE's supplied Smart Hub Plus (2023) but for now, due nobody is able tell me correct settings, I need lean for IPV6 on EE HUB and therefore have it connected

@Ollmall all my high demand devices (approx 16) are now on their full possible link and performance (e.g. with 160 Mhz channel capability I have usually 1.4-1.6 Gbps downlink and with 80 MHz and 864 Mbps link on older devices then 750-800 Mbps downlink (note: if measured as solo device) 

 

and in normal operational situation, I see anything between 500-1200 Mbps speed downlink, where more than 1 device is demanding share of connection...

 

My middle demanding devices are forced to 5 Ghz separated 40 MHz wide channel, and operating in terms of capabilities of each other.

 

My low demanding devices (LED strips, WiFi connected sockets etc) are all forced to 2.4 GHz / 20 Mhz wide channel and isolated from accessing main LAN network (but accessible from main LAN network) due security arrangements on router. While forced to lowest possible performance, I don't really measure these, but channel it's capable anything up to 30-50 Mbps downlink and it's plenty enough for approx 30+ IOT devices connected to it...

 

Hard to tell, if my purposed separation between High Demand, Middle demand and Low (IOT) demand devices helped to it, but I don't experience any slowdowns in terms of unexpected lower speeds now, with above described settings

@Ollmall as mentioned elsewhere, I operating 3 APs on my TP-Link Omada setup 

EAP615-Wall 

Set to 2.4 Ghz / 20 Mhz wide channel for all IOT

Set to 5 Ghz / 40 MHz wide channel for lower/middle demand devices (channel 42)

 

EAP655-Wall

2.4 GHz disabled 

5 Ghz / 80 MHz wide channel as backup for Higher demanding devices with limited capabilities (and as roaming channel in case of congestion on main 160 Mhz channel) - Channel 60

 

EAP670 - with 2.5 Gbps backhaul 

2.4 GHz disabled

5 Ghz set to maximum 160 Mhz wide channel (channel 120) to provide full performance for devices able to benefit from it...

 

No, I don't need 3 APs, possibly all is achievable by one single EAP670, but I prefer to have things separated on terms of channels (and spectrum channel wide(s)) and also in terms of HW separation....

 

Like this, I spent little more of my budget on POE, and in terms of electricity it cost me approx 15p more per day then only 1 AP set-up,  but I am ok with that :))) due performance balance I was able to get

Ahh I was referring more to the limited download speed I noted prior with IPV6.

For example over IPV6 it seemed I could only get about 500mbps worth of download speed with Steam but disabling would bring me right back to over gigabit speeds.

 

I had thought that you had mentioned a similar issue with download speeds from certain sources over IPV6 but I could be completely mistaken!

@Ollmall yeah, originally, I noticed similar "slowdown" on certain devices and services...

But after fidling with settings and settle for above settings, I don't noticed such behaviour
