Log filled with RTR-ADVERT

Checked on my router this morning as web page loads seemed to be slow.

The system log is filled with these, seems to be every seven seconds or so:
Mar 2 07:28:17 dnsmasq-dhcp[10734]: RTR-ADVERT(br55) 2601:85:c702:fd0:400::
Mar 2 07:28:24 dnsmasq-dhcp[10734]: RTR-ADVERT(br55) 2601:85:c702:fd0:400::
Mar 2 07:28:32 dnsmasq-dhcp[10734]: RTR-ADVERT(br55) 2601:85:c702:fd0:400::
Mar 2 07:28:39 dnsmasq-dhcp[10734]: RTR-ADVERT(br55) 2601:85:c702:fd0:400::

Any ides on what's happening? I can tell it's related to IPV6 but I haven't had this pop up in the logs like this before.

Edit: It's persisting even after a router reboot.

Guest Network Pro doesn’t suppress this logging like the main network does when IPv6 is enabled. You can add quiet-ra to /jffs/configs/dnsmasq-1.conf.add but replace the 1 with whatever guest network instance you have. br55 suggests there might be a few.
 
So I got ssh up and going, I'm successfully logged into the router, and even navigated to the correct directory. That file isn't there. /jffs/configs/ is empty. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if I should create the file?
 
That's a great tip @dave14305. I had the same so I just run the IoT network without IPv6. I may try your suggestions myself.

Let’s check how the dnsmasq instances are configured right now. Run this to determine what files will need to be created:
Code:
grep -HE "enable-ra|quiet-ra" /etc/dnsmasq*
