   Assume you can ping your ip6 addresses from the inside of your network?   
      
   Your router is probably blocking IPv6 traffic (most I've seen do), and you'll   
   probably need to enable ICMP and relevant traffic to hosts if you want to   
   enable inbound ipv6.

   First thing would be to figure out if you have a static subnet, and what it   
   is. Most folks that I've spoken with get a /60 or /56 from their ISP. Business   
   customers may get a /48. From your prefix (2600:6c88:8c40:5b::), its not easy   
   to figure out what addresses you got - and it my be a /64 (which would be   
   unusual). And if you got a /60 or /56, its strange that your router is handing   
   out ...:5b::.   
      
   I dont know Sagemcom so dont know if it is a business router (which probably   
   gives you some control over handing out addresses), or consumer router (which   
   would mean its probably useless for ip6).

   Most OSes switch ip6 addresses regularly (hence the "temporary ones"), so dont   
   be surprised if the ip6 address chanes often - you can turn it off to have a   
   consistent one, or assign a static address.
