>Please provide me the level of documentation you are looking for, but for an IPv4 network.
Could help to get an idea what you see as "hobbyist level". Setting up IPv6 has been pretty straight forward on plain Ubuntu as a router just with replacing the dhcpd subnet configs with a radvd config, enable ipv6 forwarding in addition to ipv4 forwarding and replace the iptables NAT rule with a only forward RELATED,ESTABLISHED connections (which already is optional).
Two fiber connections coming inside my home. One is a home connection with a router that sends ipv6 to any machine that asks for it (which i may not always want), the other one is a business connection that goes into an Ubuntu router that has to run pppoe.
The path of least resistance with ipv4 was to have static ips for every PC and change the default route where I cared about which connection the PC used. Also was using the dhcp from the home router.
Now ipv6 has addresses that are auto generated by the OS on boot, addresses that are forwarded from the router and are in a subnet assigned to home ISP #1, and ... whatever I'd need to assign manually?
It's still hobbyist level not enterprise level if you ask me. But it's a lot to read for a network that works just fine thank you.
This auto configuration mechanism is called stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC) so "Your OS disable IPv6 SLAAC" or something like that in your favorite search engine should give you the answer. After that you should be able to manually configure your address and gateway like you would for v4. If your prefix is dynamic it gets a bit ugly then you have to use link local addresses and something like NPTv6 or NAT66 on the gateway. A better alternative IMHO would be to use different VLANs for the two networks but then your switch and possibly access point have to support it.

The home connection is probably dynamic. I asked them about paying extra for a fixed IP and they said they're all out. They meant IPv4 of course but that doesn't mean i get fixed IPv6 now.

... and it might be fun getting the internal machines to talk to each other? I ssh around all the time.
