This box may have adequate IPv6 support. (Or it may not - several people have raised issues with it's capabilities. Personally, I lack sufficient operational experience with IPv6 to know one way or the other.)
But it's severely deficient in terms of IPv4/NAT/firewall capabilities. In particular, while it has decent NATPT support, there is no indication it cannot handle multiple WAN-side IPv4 addresses and/or 1:1 NAT. The firewall is, according to several reviews I've seen, inadequate on the IPV6 side.
This puts it in the same category as the Apple Airport line and the Linksys RVS4000 - probably adequate for personal home use. But in no way, shape or form adequate for SOHO use. I was very clear I was talking about the latter, not the former.

I'm waiting for an existence proof of the truth of this statement. So far I haven't seen one. The closest I've seen so far is the Sonicwall TZ line, but while it's very capable on the IPv4/NAT/firewall side of things, it's IPv6 support appears inadequate - no 6to4, no IPv6 firewall capabilities, etc.
