Yes of course.  I agree with that.

I have no setup for IPv6 firewall.  The only IPv6 setup is very basic.  How to
connect, what to use (Slaac DHCPV6 or whatever), and enter your /64.  I also
have a /54, but no idea what to do with that.  No place to put it.  There is a
fake archer c7 and c8 configuration utility on their site, where you can see
what is needed, and practice <G>.

I've not installed it.  I found the installation directions rather confusing. 
Nothing concrete, like, Do this, and then do this.  Just some will support
this, or if not, then try this, or this.  It may sound simple to those who have
tried and succeeded already, but it is what it does not say that bothers me. 
Like, if I follow this direction, (the simplest one is to install it using the
present firmware update utility), and it does not work, will I end up with a
bricked router?  They do have directions someplace to unbrick it too.
