...Why does a lack of external IPv6 address cause a problem within your home network?

(I'm genuinely willing to believe it could, because I've seen stupider problems personally, but it does seem like a weird one.)

My consumer mesh router takes an all or nothing approach for IPv6 settings, which causes problems, and there's no customization of IPv6 DNS settings.

I've been meaning to take an old Netgear router, put dd-wrt on it, and then put that between my cable modem and the mesh router.
