List of IPv6 Supporting Routers

http://www.sixxs.net/wiki/Routers

This page lists routers that support IPv6 out of the box, otherwise know as "IPv6 Ready Routers". There is a separate page of other Hardware.

Note that at this time some of the popular brands, such as D-Link, Linksys and Belkin, show no signs of supporting IPv6 in the immediate future. Contacting them, or asking on the relavent forums, confirmed that they have nothing available or planned at this point. For this reason, if you wish to add IPv6 support to a router that does not officially support it, then your best best is to look at one of the third-party firmwares, such as OpenWrt, DD-WRT and Sveasoft, but note that not all routers have this option.

It is possible to configure a generalised computer, using BSD or Linux for example, to act as a router though this is outside the scope of this page.

Another note for Cisco Routers in my example configuration was that the router should be directly assigned to the internet not through NAT or anything else. It did not work although all ports were forwarded to the device. So configure your Router with a dedicated Internet-Link!

Just because a router supports IPv6 does not mean it will support establishing a tunnel, so you should check that tunnelling is supported before purchasing it to connect with Sixxs. If you have any of the routers below and have been able to use it to connect to Sixxs directly (as opposed to using a secondary device), then please add a note next to it indicating that it is possible.

The "IPv6 Ready Logo Program" also lists others in their "IPv6 Ready Logo Program Approved List".

I received a response from Linksys/Cisco and they let me know starting this fall, all current lines will be supported with some sort of tunnel solution, while they will be releasing new models that are native IPv6 ready.

I'm not buying a new router from them until I can get native IPv6.

As of few days ago, Cisco updated the E4200 to natively support IPv6. It includes v6 firewall settings seperate from v4 stuff and has a setup page to choose between automatic or 6rd or manual.

Odd, since I checked out those routers and no where is it listed to support IPv6. Also, it hasn't received the IPv6 forums gold seal stating the hardware conforms to any standard of IPv6........

^ like he said they updated it, it mentions it in the release notes for the latest firmware

Cisco Consumer Products

"Cisco PIX - Cisco - IPv6 support, but no IPv6-IPv4 tunneling configuration available. Now End of sale with the newer ASA series"

Does this mean that ASA 5505 is not a native IPv6?

Note: This is not nabz0r, it's his younger bro (don't have an account here), I asked him if I could post with his account and he didn't mind that. :)
