He dlink why doens't it has ipv6??

Respond now please

I thought I was blunt...

[kthaddock]

just hover your mouse pointer

No need to compensate for other body parts.
But you can do better than that

What firmware do you use the EU,NA or WW one. i Know you live in the Netherlands.

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.

1.34NA.
EU firmware has always been lagging when it comes to updates and beta.

I wish there was a consumer available 100/10 fibre to the premise solution in the US.

IT infrastructure is getting better every day, maybe someday soon I will be drooling at a 1000mb in house drop that is suddenly available.

by then you will be burned out like me and not use the 50mb fios line coming into my house

as for the poster saying you need new hardware to implement IPV6  that's nonsense, it's just a linux recompilation to include  it and to turn on radvd.  as for the docsis cable modem that is a different level than what ip rides on  totaly.

Honestly, if there is a IPv6 firmware there but it is not released because that could help rise sales... 

I'll probably get a Netgear and give them the chance to prove they keep up with their customers and do not mess with them because of a single damned deamon not compiled in from the toolbox.

How often are we supposed to replace our 100USD worth pieces of hardware, DLink? Not happy at all on this one.

Please, DLink, if there is anything there, even beta, let us know. We can appreciate your interest providing beta firmware just to let us get the latest and test it for you. This hardware and feature is for geeks willing to pay for good pieces of hardware (when their vendor does not let them down).

Well raising sales is one thing however if the devices isn't supported on the network fully, seems like a waste of time. Specially when there are other factors out there, How about SW support? Not all browsers support it at this time. I presume they will in time. And who knows, will be up to the OEMs to figure out whos devices gets IPv6 support or not. Regardless of current or future released products. I do hope they will support some of the current products though. These devices are good. Just hope they will support them for everyone. 

I recommend taking a class or picking up a Manual for IPv6 for those wanting or interested in working with IPv6. It's not as easy as IPv4. I hope all the OEMS make it easier for average home users.

[jmartinez3]

On the contrary, IPv6 is pretty easy if you don't get too deep into it. The net provides your CPE with the IP and the local prefix. Auto configuration takes care of the rest while the preconfigured FW can deal with most scenarios and open "servers" easily based on the mac part of the ipv6 address.

I am one of those trying to learn fast about it, and bought this expensive hardware because I thought Dlink would not leave it behind so soon being a gigabit wireless N piece of hardware. I was wrong and my expectations on it having ipv6 on the lan and at tunneling on the wan have been dissapointed.

With lazy vendors around, changing the ip version will be a rough ride. I wonder why they do not care about ipv6 given it does not need much development or somewhat better hardware. I'd probably end up giving my dir655 away to a not very loved friend and get a tier one cpe such as cisco or something.

[FurryNutz]

Well you certainly can think that vendors are lazy and think that they might not care. I would not care to think like this. Just because vendors have not satisfied end user customers impatience sooner than expected doesn't mean they are not working on this subject.

[gaterouter]

Any update on IPv6 support on N-Series routers?

Most likely you will have to buy a B Hardware Version if you want IPv6 support.

[gaterouter]

I think you are right. Hopefully there will be a new h/w version coming out soon with the native IPv6 support.
