I think some explanation is still missing. If I compare this with my own IPv6 connection, it is about as follows.
It looks like spoiling a lot of address space, but that is a problem ffor the future.
Your/my provider gives you a /56 address space. In that address space /64 size subnets are expected/defined.
Subnet 0 is used in the space between you and your provider, so essentially only two addresses are used.
Subnet 1 is assigned to the LAN side of your router. The router takes one address, the remander is for the devices on the LAN.
Subnet 2 may be used as your guest net.
The remainder in the set between /56 and /64 is not used.
I have tried to define a Subnet 3 behind another router connected to the LAN, but I have not yet succeeded in telling the first router what the route to that net is. Soho routers are apparently not meant to be used in a real world setup. The can do the job, but the Gui does not support such a configuration.
