Nothing wrong with blocking incoming IPv6 by default. That's definitely good practice, and my router also blocks incoming traffic by default (it's a FritzBox 7270). However, a decent router should also have a means to selectively disable the firewall for those who need that functionality. I have the choice of opening individual TCP or UDP ports, or I can completely open access to a specific host (by name or IP).
Hmm, I did some Googling for you, and looking on the Tp-Link forums, it appears that the C7 doesn't support a firewall on IPv6. The C8 manual has nothing other than how to setup IPv6 connectivity, and I wasn't able to find any reference to IPv6 firewalls in my (very) quick search.
Sure the ISP isn't doing the filtering?
