Hello Alexey,

My provider issued "plastic box" already uses three subnets all by itself. The
first subnet is routed to the local LAN. (WiFi + wired). The second subnet is
rserverd for the private guest network. (WiFi only). The third subnet is for
the providers own guest network. (WiFi only).

The box supports pefix delegation, so I can connect another router and have
more subnets routed to that router.

My provider gives me a /56 routed through that "plastic box".

Indeed. It is easier to just give every customer a /56. And just route the
first /64 to the LAN, so that the user need not configure anything if he only
needs one /64. And the provider does not need to configure anything if the
customer needs more.
