Enabling IPv6 support on a Linksys WRT400N router

2

I chatted with a Linksys support person and they said that the WRT400N doesn't have any facility for enabling IPv6.

If I were to use an alternate firmware on the router, would IPv6 become available or does IPv6 need special hardware?

No ipv6 does not require special hardware, if you installed DD-WRT on your router you have ipv6 options http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/IPv6

Schweet. Now let's just hope I don't brick it like my WRT54G! – Andrew Lambert – 2011-05-10T21:56:33.913

Just make sure you follow the 30-30-30 reboot procedure and you'll be fine :) – chunkyb2002 – 2011-05-17T13:08:00.057
