That pretty much fits what we thought but is in much more detail, so appreciated.<br /><br />We have two more routers on the way to us which claim IPv6 as well as the zyxel. They are a more sensible price even with wifi. So we'll see.RevKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369263214193333422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-40093947413370344992011-08-20T22:12:54.951+01:002011-08-20T22:12:54.951+01:00That list is downright misleading.. have you looke...That list is downright misleading.. have you looked at it?<br /><br />The Vigor 120 does *not* support ipv6. It's a bridge 'compatible with ipv6' which is a meaningless marketing phrase. The 2130 is not a DSL router. The 2750 is VDSL and useless the UK.<br /><br />Never heard of BEC.. I don't think they sell in the UK.<br /><br />The 7402R2 never supported ipv6. Billion claimed it did - and I believe they had a version of the firmware that was never released to the public, but as it was not commercially available as such shouldn't be on the list.<br /><br />OpenWRT, DDWRT and Tomato can be loaded onto some DSL routers - provided you don't mind using them for DSL, since there are no drivers - so shouldn't be on this list.<br /><br />Comtrends are so broken as to not be worth mentioning. We've been down that road already.<br /><br />So that leaves Billion 7800N, which AA are shipping, and the Zyxels, which they are testing, and the ciscos which we know about already.Tony Hoylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697664015360179933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-20396106624774122262011-08-18T07:46:44.513+01:002011-08-18T07:46:44.513+01:00Look here again:

Would it be feasible for you to do something similar, i.e. install OpenWRT on behalf of your less technical customers? That may bring the cost down a bit, e.g. my router costs £90 on Amazon.<br /><br />I also see that Cisco are now supporting IPv6 in their E-series routers:<br />http://blogs.cisco.com/consumer/linksys-e4200-wireless-router-supports-ipv6/<br />Unfortunately, that's still high-end rather than entry level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-53528945460007594472011-08-17T14:01:56.808+01:002011-08-17T14:01:56.808+01:00I appreciate the various comments and emails I hav...I appreciate the various comments and emails I have had on this. For the "free with service" solution it has to be cheap, just work, and really has to be a one-box solution with consumer acceptable web interface. I know we deal a lot with techies - this challenge is for those less technicial though.RevKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369263214193333422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-49534761323949613832011-08-17T13:59:03.674+01:002011-08-17T13:59:03.674+01:00Would RouterOS work?
