      What is the best choice to use for a home network ra choice? Assisted or Managed, or even one of the other choices?

      I'm using managed and things are working just fine.

      Just curious, been googling and can't find a direct answer anywhere on this, so I'm asking the pfsense gods.

      -Thanks

        If you click in the info button, you'll see a description of the options. You use managed or assisted if running a DHCPv6 server. I use unmanaged for SLAAC only.

        BTW, don't use DHCPv6 if you don't need it. Thanks to some genius at Google, Android devices don't work with DHCPv6.

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

          Yeah after doing a bunch of research and reading some IPv6 RFC's I decided to just use unmanaged. Everything is working good and I got to turn off the DHCPv6 server. One less thing I have to deal with.
