Why is IPv6 DHCP Lease Time only 60 Minutes while IPv4 is over 3 days?

 

My IPv6 WAN and /64 LAN assignment constantly changes, and my PC looses connection when it still has its old IPv6 from the previous /64 LAN assignment.

 

Any chance we can get permanent IPv6 /64 LAN assignments tied to our Modem MAC address?  That way our IPv6 LAN subnet does not change and LAN devices don't have to constantly renew IPv6 addresses?  Then and I can actually open up some IPv6 firewall rules to allow remote access into my IPv6 LAN.   An IPv6 /64 LAN segment is useless if it always changes.

 

From my router:
