When buying them there you get them preloaded with DD-WRT which does IPv6 (and even aiccu :) out of the box. Instead of there you can of course buy a lot of variants of the WRT type of 'routers' in your local shop and make them into real routers by upgrading them to OpenWRT/DD-WRT and a number of variants. WRT's are accidentally also the cheapest managed router/switch/wifibox as you can install SNMPd, SSH/telnet/webif etc etc ;) Problemo solved and yes IMHO those are really nice boxes to have. There are also a few of those boxes which can do DSL for you btw, all depends on the config they come with. Of course there are also a number of vendors who ship with IPv6 support as a standard feature. Greets, Jeroen == Oh and to 'prove' that they do IPv6: 7 sheol.unfix.org (2001:7b8:20d:0:20f:66ff:fec8:5fd4) 16.9 ms 14.006 ms 14.308 ms 7 gehenna.unfix.org (2001:7b8:20d:0:214:bfff:fe72:f83c) 18.911 ms 13.978 ms 15.3 ms Yep, both still work fine and I haven't touched those for quite some time now ;)
