Dlink is getting to be one of the worst support companies. anyone that tells me you have to get the B router to have IPV6 is pure BS. it is not the hardware that is the problem it is ONLY the firmware. I have a 8 year old network card that can fully support IPV6 with Linux. The problem is they have not added the support in the Firmware build and thats that. to not support a router after a year or 2 with Firmware is a joke. This will make me switch from Dlink. Their support right now is the worst on the market.

[FurryNutz]

You have a B version router?

[wesleyh]

no i have an a REV A router that is the whole point A should have IPV6

[FurryNutz]

Guess B is the way to go.

[wesleyh]

but that is not the point you should not have to buy a B router just to get IPV6 this is just poor customer support the A routers were still being sold at the beginning of the year so in all terms DLINK should support them and offer IPV6

[FurryNutz]

Probably due to the A version was not certified where the B is.
Well guess we wont know until the fat lady sings.

I bet they will support ipv6 with the B revision first then move it into the A line. Either way if they wanted you to buy a new router to get ipv6 that is up to dlink. If you needed a new cable modem to get ipv6 what would you do? You would buy a new one unless you were renting. Same as everything else, you got what you PURCHASED, if a company decides to give you more than you purchased then you benefit.

There is a hardware reason there is rev. B: IPv6 support requires more than the rev A can handle.
So not so much not wanting to support. You bought it without IPv6 support or the promise of it being upgraded, so don't be expecting features that weren't there (or promised) in the first place. That's just not realistic, you don't marry a 200 pound woman and then expect her to get perfect 90-60-90 size...
