It's a tp-link Archer, and since it supports Wi-Fi 6 it must have been from 2019 or later.
Hmm, I just went deep into the settings and there's an IPv6 toggle (disabled by default, and requires playing with menus to make it actually work) now. I don't remember seeing that (and I explicitly checked) when we switched the ISP-side last April. But the firmware is dated after that, so I choose to trust my memory.
Actually trying to connect to ipv6 stuff besides the router itself (in fd00::/8, that's good) just gives "Destination unreachable: Beyond scope of source address" though (probably because I only have an fe80 link-local address though?). If I play with the settings some more I get a ::/64 address, but that just gives me a black hole ... wait, is that even a legitimate address? Do I need to fill in the prefix manually or something?
I'll play with this some more in the morning I guess. But I certainly wouldn't expect a normal user to get IPv6 working under these circumstances if I haven't figured it out yet ...

Turn IPv6 with stateless RDNSS on (should be the default on all modern routers)

That's it as long as your ISP supports IPv6. No need to figure out a fd00::/8 that you maybe may not have.
