The router is misconfigured if it is handing out addresses and IPv6
default route that do not work (or no default route). Possibly there is
a way you can fix that, and that would be the best place to fix it. If
you can't fix it then you will need to either ignore SLAAC or disable
IPv6 as I mentioned in the prior reply.

The thing is that if you have a router handing out IPv6 addresses and
route by SLAAC then potentially every device on your network will be
trying to use IPv6, which is obviously bad if that's not going to work.
Disabling it on every host is also clearly more work.

It is not normal for a Plusnet router to be giving out SLAAC details
that don't work. This will cause problems. Either customer services or
other customers (in some sort of forum) should be able to advise you how
to disable SLAAC in the router if it's not going to work. "We don't
support IPv6" can't be the end of the conversation, because this is
broken.

Thanks,
Andy
