 MR> Usually the /64 is the transfer network for the PPP session, i.e. the WAN

Well, It seems that the PD is supported in the TP-Link router.  At least there
is a choice for it in the menu.  That is also what I was told to use in the
configuration.   I am going to update the software in my router and see what
happens.
