I'm in the process of getting a new gigabit router so I can transfer files faster to and from my Lacie Network Space. I found Asus RT-N56U Wireless N Dual Band Gigabit Router. Its performance is really good, however it doesnt support ipv6.
On the other hand, the world is running out of ipv4 addresses and we've already implemented ipv6. So I'm wondering whether it's better to get a router with ipv6 support, to be future proof.

Shopping questions are off topic as per the FAQ.

My main concern is whether i should get a router with ipv6 support as the topic. I editted the content of the question so it focuses more on ipv6 issue. Is there anyway that i can reopen this question? – hngo – 2011-03-27T22:57:08.447
1You're still asking if you should buy a certain router dependent on price – random – 2011-03-28T01:33:59.623
Note that c|net now has the Asus RT-N56U router listed as one of the Top 5 IPV6 Ready Wireless Routers
I assume this is because there is now a beta firmware in the wild which is reported to have working IPV6 support.
