Was. I am really encouraging everyone to update to lede at this point,
which has nearly everything that was "good" about cerowrt in it.

Are you getting this via dhcp-pd or is it static?

The "cable" modem is running over ppp???

A traceroute6 would be better. Try it from various source addresses on
the router.

Disabling the firewall for ipv6 is sometimes helpful also, for debugging.

You might also want a reqprefix of 56 in the wan stanza.

We did not have much chance to test against any other prefix sizes
than 64, 60, and 48.

you should also have had a default from

20xx:xxxx:xx55:ae00::/56

I think.

ip -6 route add default from

This appears wrong to me in that ae10 should have been a /64
