ff02::1:2 = all DHCPv6 agents. Use the traffic sniffer tool, capture some traffic to a file, download it, open in wireshark, find source MAC, search bridge tables... stab customer repeatedly with dull rusty knife.

We started getting calls of slow speeds on this tower and found multiple

A single IPv6 connection on the DHCP ports. while this Mikrotik router
is running 6.xx, I do NOT have the IPv6 package active since I do not
have IPv6 running on my network yet. Does anyone know what this is or
why it would be happening? I do not see it on other routers. Someone's
router plugged into this broadcast domain and trying to serve IPv6 DHCP?
I am enabling the IPv6 package so I can manage this traffic but I am
very curious what I am dealing with.

ff02 is IPv6 multicast and fe80 are interface link local addresses.

Try and find who's doing the multicast.
