When I check the network, the router has assigned an IPv6 address to every
system in the network, that can do so, as well as an IPv4 IP.  Whether or not
that (apparent) lack of anythying in that part of the setup has anything to do
with my inability to connect to the WAN even though a WAN IP is listed, I dont
know.  I will say the advertised WAN IP is not either of the numbers I was
given by my ISP, although it has all of the /64 included

This is what my router tells me.

WAN IPv6 Address:
2607:F2C0:A000:54:C612:F5FF:FE66:E6C8 

Default Gateway:
FE80::02A0:A500:007B:9152 

Primary DNS Server:
2607:F2C0::1 

Secondary DNS Server:
2607:F2C0::2 

This is what my ISP gave me.  Both /64 and /56

 *IPv6 /64:* 2607:f2c0:a000:54::/64
 *IPv6 /56:* 2607:f2c0:f00e:4200::/56

The primary and secondary DNS servers are correct as given to me.  This router
has firewall setting for IPv6, but I do not understand how to set that up.  I
have filtering turned off (default).  Not sure if that WAN address is the
addres of the router, or of the particular computer I am checking that on
