I've recently changed from One NZ Wireless Broadband to Fibre Starter 50.

 

This is the first time I've had ipv6 and I'm having fun figuring it out. If it's relevant, my router is a PC Engines APU1 running Ubuntu 22.04, which I've been using for nearly 8 years. I've had no problems setting up ipv4, but ipv6 is a different beast altogether!

 

All the info online talks about having a prefix, and I believe I don't have one: just a single IP address assigned to the router, in the form of 2XXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX::1/128

 

Is One NZ still assigning prefixes to residential customers? Can I get one on this plan so that I can do proper routing? If so, where and how do I apply? Trying to explain all this to a front desk person or chat bot somehow doesn't appeal.

Yes they should be via dhcpv6 prefix delegation, enable that and it should work.

Instead of running Ubuntu on the APU1 consider running OPNSense - https://opnsense.org 

 

It is a little better optimized for the APU1 and perhaps easier to manage. But setting up SLAAC with a /56 subnet is what you'd want to do with One NZ.
