Whether it be because of outdated equipment, a large investment is needed, or the ISP just isn’t ready, not everyone has native IPv6. Luckily this was thought of, and free services exist to remedy this issue.

In this guide, you will learn how to enable fast roaming on OpenWRT. Installing WPAD wpad is a full-featured IEEE 802.1x

UPDATE 10/21. It appears that Cucumber WiFi (CT WiFi, etc.) was officially shut down September 3, 2021. I believe that leaves the only way to flash with Serial.
