Hi, today we received the first Keenetic router!

How can we enable local IPv6 hostname resolution on the Hopper DSL?

This is not implemented for IPv6.

Can you tell what address you expect in response to AAAA? IPv4 simply uses addresses from DHCP leases. IPv6, in contrast, has both SLAAC and DHCP (not enabled by default), and the addresses themselves are generated from multiple prefixes, which may be obtained from your ISP (multiple ISPs) and ULA. 

(Suppose, you want to see ULA addresses since you asked about it.)
