       Network debugging time: Have a #Homepod or a recent AppleTV? Have a #Fritzbox? Go into your router settings and enable "Allow other #IPv6 Routers on the Network". Thank me later... Without that setting the Devices create a secondary ULA Prefix to allow Matter routing. In reality the two devices are in an unending fight. Homepod advertises Route to Matter devices, Fritzbox cancels, Homepod switches to ULA Prefix RA, Fritzbox cancels, and so on. Leads to unstable secondary #ULA Addresses...

       Ok it gets even better... The Router Advertisements for the Thread ULA are set to be valid for 1800 seconds but the apple devices miss the refresh, so without the FritzBox canceling the advertisements the ULA stays online for 1800 seconds and then times out, so all devices loose the prefix until the dang Homepod decides to re-advertise. Oh man did noone test this? (This interferes for example with Cisco AnyConnect VPN, which cancels all connections when the device gets or looses a new IP)
