   Those are standard routes; I have those, too.

=>Any clue on how to get a valid IPv6 default route?

   I don't think you have a real IPv6 address yet. "ifconfig re0"
will most likely show a fe80::7a24:afff:fe3d:6410%re0 link local
address, which is generated from your MAC, but nothing else. It
looks like your router is IPv6 capable, but isn't actually providing
IPv6 service.
