I do like the hardware (128 MByte Dram, 128 MByte Flash).  That's the
highest by far that I've been able to find in a cheap $80 router.  It
should allow for some pretty elaborate features.  I was hoping that one
of the open-source firmwares (dd-wrt, open-wrt, etc) would be available
for it soon.

As to getting the Netgear firmware fixed, I understand that the
technical people behind the Comcast IPv6 setup are looking into the
problem with Netgears.  It spans the whole product line.  Something goes
wrong with the dhclient asking for a prefix delegation.  The first one
happens just fine but the renewal never happens.  I suspect that Netgear
is going to listen to Comcast with their millions of customers much more
closely than little ol' me.
