Netgear R6250 router setup

One of the main criterias for me when I need a new router is, that it can have its firmware changed to a DD-WRT flavour. There are many reasons, but the main one is that it enables me to have functionality that normally is not provided from the beginning for routers in this price range.

The Netgear R6250 was updated with firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r30020M kongac (06/26/16)

In my setup, I want all the nodes to setup their ip-adress using their MAC Address together with the same prefix as the Ethernet subnet. To do this I use the Router Advertisement Daemon (radvd) already build into DD-WRT with the following setup:

interface br0  
{  
   AdvSendAdvert on;  
   prefix fd81:3daa:fb4a:f7ae::/64  
   {
                AdvOnLink on;
                AdvAutonomous on;
   };
};

The unique prefix I use is generated from an internet prefix generator

The setup can be seen from the below screenshot.
