With SLAAC I am getting GUA addresses and link-local but no ULA 
addresses. With DHCPv6 the router fails to work properly, it randomly 
hangs and stops supplying either IPV4 or IPV6 addresses. (and also does 
not supply ULAs).

If the router is to supply _ULA_ addresses, I assume you would have to 
tell it the prefix.  There is no place in my router config to do that.

Do most routers have that ability? I would like to control my ULA 
addresses, or at least be sure they will not change if the router is 
recycled or for any other reason.
