Configuring IPv6 and DHCPv6

Screenshot2

I m not sure what values i need to select for the above parameters in each interface. i have two interfaces, lan and guest. i have a local dns server and i m not sure i should stick to stateless or stateful ipv6 config too. please help

i have dual stack config. on wan6, i m able to obtain ipv6 via PD.

openwrt documentation on IPv6 is either very brief or not noob friendly. For anyone trying to configure ipv6, please go through the below links (ordered) first.

when ipv6 connectivity starts working and if you are wondering why the hosts are not getting GUA updated when wan6 interface gets a new prefix from ISP, refer the below link.
