The simplest possible arrangement is a linux box directly in front of
the dishy not their supplied router. Nearly any kind will suffice, so
long as it can get an ipv6 address. I have a mild preference for the
current ubuntu, or the openwrt release candidate, but even centos
would suffice. Supplying our ssh keys for further configuration (if
needed) for other tests, like of DoH vs DNS. We prefer raw hardware
rather than a vm, to rule out interactions with vm jitter and
latencies. A raspi-4 is fine. x86_64 preferred.

Possible, but less useful, would be an osx box, configured to run
netserver and irtt, I can supply working binaries of each.

windows is right out.
