My ISP assigns IPv6 prefixes using DHCPv6. I know Android only supports SLAAC. Is there any way I can configure my router to provide Android devices with IPv6 Internet connectivity?
Your router should already provide slaac. Your Android phone build its own addresses.

That does’t appear to be the case at the moment. How can I make a GNU/Linux computer precisely mimic Android’s behavior, so as to debug the router’s ability to provide SLAAC using its DHCPv6’ed address? – mmirate Jan 17 at 13:36

A router receives the prefix(WAN). Under normal circumstances the router uses the information to start its own router advertisement (radvd) on the LAN. Depending on the configuration the router starts also a dhcpv6 server on LAN. Under Linux you can use for Networkmanager (with disabled dhcpv6) to emulate Android behavior. Use wireshark for all details. – Thomas Schäfer Jan 17 at 19:10
