I currently have an Asus 4G-N16 router on our little boat in France,
it has a free.fr SIM in it and works pretty well.

However it doesn't do IPV6. Everything on the web (and Asus support)
tries to tell me that it can do IPV6 but it simply doesn't have the
IPV6 configuration tab that everyone says it ought to have. I suspect
this is 'AI confusion', searching for 'IPV6 on Asus 4G-N16' always
brings up the same, boring, Asus FAQ which is generic for all Asus
routers.

So, I'm looking for a reasonably inexpensive 4G (or ideally 5G but I
think it will be too expensive) router that **definitely** can provide
IPV6 support. All free.fr SIMs have IPV6 support so it should be
easy!

I don't need anything with loads of bandwidth, it's mostly just
supporting ssh connections.

Moving to IPV6 will make connecting **to** the Raspberry Pi on the
boat a whole lot easier.

Maybe something from Teltonica?

My general gripe about such things - although it probably doesn't affect
you on your boat - is that the 4G/5G antenna is integrated within the
router. This is a real pain where the router must be within your
property but the signal is so poor that the antenna must be on the roof,
or higher - up a mast. So all the products I've seen have to be
installed in a waterproof box on the roof! A real problem if you want
to swap the SIM!

What's needed is a 3G/4G/5G transceiver plus antenna which uses Ethernet
and PoE all in a waterproof housing and can be installed at the top of a
mast, coupled with a router which takes the SIM and provides PoE out of
the relevant WAN port.

Have you looked at Raspberry Pi Connect? No need for IPv6

I have just looked at Raspberry Pi Connect, i don't think it provides
what I want, I also wonder if it will work with a Pi that's behind a
CGNAT connection.

Also, I specifically want to connect from command line (on a local
system here at home) to command line on the remote Pi. I need to be
able to do things like use rsync from one system to another.

Raspberry Pi Connect seems to need a browser at one end and that's not
what I'm after.

Thanks all the same, I may find a use for Raspberry Pi Connect for
other requirements.

IrCOve used it through CGNAT. Does your free.fr sim allow inbound connections on IPv6? ie no firewall in the way.
To answer your original question, have a look at the range of Teltonika cellular routers, eg RUT901.

There will be need to be **my** firewall in the way, but as far as I
can tell from the free.fr information their IPV6 implementation is
pretty open.

OK, thanks, second recommendation of them. They're not too pricey
either.

IrCOve got one in a forest in the middle of Finland and it has proven to be reliable. You can set a decent set of rules to keep the bad guys out. Mine
runs on a static IPv4 provided by Telia.

Yes.

I can confirm that both EE and Three do, at least in my area (SE of
Stockport). O2 don't (as of about 2 months ago, anyway), which is
why I moved from them to Three. My wife is on EE; I think it wise
for us to be on different networks, so that a network fault is less
likely to affect both of us simultaneously.

I have no idea whether MVNOs support IPv6 when their MNO does.
