Hardware

Hi,

not sure if this is the right forum to post this, so feel free to move it to a more appropriate one if needed.

Currently I have a fairly old Netgear wg302 access point which has wpa2 support and connects me up to my lan where m0n0wall delivers me an ipv4 address via dhcp.

Long story short: I can't get an ipv6 address that way. When I configure my wifi device manually to have a valid ipv6 address I can't reach any ipv6 hosts.

From what I have read I most probably need an ipv6 aware access point to do what I want it to do. Any recommendations on buying one?

Cheers,

I have not personally tested these routers with IPv6 wireless.
I can offer this guidance:

This page lists routers that support IPv6 out of the box.

In addition dd-wrt firmware in the versions above micro and mini support IPv6.
Check that the router can be flashed with a higher version.

Thank you, I have got myself a Linksys WRT54GL v.1.1 and flashed DD-WRT on the device. It now perfectly handles ipv6 announcments on my wireless device.

Cheerios,
