IPv6 support is mandatory for us, the 655 as well as our current N line is slated for upgrade, but that could change at any second.

To my knowledge most home routers will use a NAT program that allows IPv6 on the WAN and an IPv4 Local network since the NAT is not transparent.

This would make more sense as the average user is already familiar with ipv4 addressing.

It's been a long time and some firware releases since these words but I cannot seem to find that IPv6 support on DIR655. Are there those IPv6 plans still in the roadmap?

I'm looking forward LAN native IPv6 support and Teredo tunneling into my IPv6 tunnel broker on the WAN side.

Has this status been clarified? My ISP is trialing ipV6 and I would like to start practical efforts to learn the functional behavior.

hoping for an answer or comment from dlink

Even the lion share of most recent routers do not support native IPv6. I heard they were considering it, but when the 655 is EOL chances are it will not be developed.

are you suggesting that we should throw these into the garbage when IPv6 is rolled out?

[EddieZ]

That depends completely on how your ISP will implement IPv6.

Noticed a new Manual for the 655 on the FTP site.

Opened it up and saw what you see if you click the IPV6 link.

Question is whether or not all hardware versions of the 655 will get this with a firmware upgrade.

DIR 655 IPV6

If anyone wants to verify the picture just download the new manual:

Sweet.
Can someone from D-Link confirm that this is on the roadmap for a firmware upgrade? If so, is there a vague and unofficial time frame you'd be allowed to give?

I have to say that I appreciate the effort on D-Link's part to make this a fully featured router and provide up to date and useful technologies in the firmware. I've seen the opposite in the past with different home networking vendors.

Very nice!

Hmm that is a B1 DIR-655 and that probably contain DIR-825 motherboard.  SW 2.00NA

I doubt if that really would be an issue. IPv6 is Linux kernel based, so hardware should not matter.

What 'concerns' me more is that Ipv6 will not make configuration easier (for the majority of users).

[kthaddock]

I have believeed that there is a lot of bugs but more I see more I doubt about it !

What I have seen so far that is most a man made trouble. (yes and some buggs also)
So IPV6 is a realy challenge for support appartment for that equipment.

I hope we get IPV6 for ALL DIR-655 HW version A1-A2-A3-A4- "B5 we alredy know"
