Boomer Humor DoomergodOh boy I can’t wait to tell my parents to go to fff8::ab298:42cab3:187daq::1 to get to their router.

r00tyWell you could accept the default generated one, or set it to fe80::1 manually. Don't most good routers now have a DNS server in? So you could make it router.local or something?
I think some even by default make a DNS entry call router.local or similar pointing to themselves. This isn't a real problem and if IPv6 were adopted fully, then all routers would likely come with something like this setup anyway.
DNS never has problems and always works. /s
And neither does DHCP.
mDNS (.local) is a fairly new thing, and not everything supports it well unfortunately.
Tbh, ipv4 is probably just a random string of nonsense to them anyways
IPv4 looks a lot like a phone number, which they’re used to.
