RV345 how to set DHCPv6 prefix hint?

So basically, I want to have two VLANs on my RV345: one for just my PC and the other for my WI-FI AP. I am able to receive an IPv6 address from Comcast and a /64 prefix without issue. If I put every port onto one VLAN, IPv6 works without issue. But once I split them up, it does not. I am aware that I need at least a /60 prefix in order for both VLANs to have IPv6 access and Comcast will supposedly give them to you if you give a prefix hint, but I see no way for me to add one. Does the RV345 not allow you to set one? It seems a poor design for a "small business" router not to be able to do that.

   - https://cfnng.cisco.com/browse/routing/features -> Looks like this small business router can not do that. Check attached document.

That document doesn't even list any small business routers. How can you be sure that means it can't give a prefix hint? None of it's other features are listed.

Hi Robert,

 

Take a look at the following thread that might be of your help:

So my understanding based on that is this:

If I want the prefix length to 60 I should type that into the "Prefix" field in the VLAN settings.

The router will then solicit the CMTS for a /60 prefix.

Were you able to get this to work on the RV345? You said you entered "60" into a "Prefix" field, but I don't see a field labeled "Prefix" on the VLAN settings.
