HomePod Mini's sending IPv6 router advertisements on the network
There was another post about this in 2021, with no real answer, this is still occurring, here's an extract from a pcap:
Frame 14: 126 bytes on wire (1008 bits), 126 bytes captured (1008 bits)

Why is this device broadcasting to the network is the router interface? How can I disable this?
Thanks
